How to Create a Discount Code (Promo Code)

New Discount Codes:

Venues can now self-create and track Discount Code (Promo Code) use for bookings in real time, no longer needing to go through Clubspark.

You can create Discount Codes for members, players, guests or friends to receive a discount when making a booking for court bookings and Program courses, camps, and coaching sessions.

Please Note (15/09/2025):
Discount promo codes can only be redeemed directly through the tennis venue’s booking website. Promo codes cannot be redeemed on Play.Tennis, the user will see an error message, even if the code is valid. With the change to Tennis.com.au, users will be able to use Promo codes on both Tennis.com.au and at the venue level.

Step 1:

Navigate to the “Discounts” Module using the navigation panel on the left and select “Add Discount” button on top right of page once within the Discounts area:

Step 2:

Beneath Discount Details, add a Discount Name and Discount promo code, using the following guidelines (select Tooltip (?) next to Discount name or Discount promo code also for assistance)

Select a Fixed amount in dollars OR Percentage amount for the Discount in the box available (in this example it’s $5)

Step 3:

Select which product the Discount applies to, whether:

  • Court Booking or
  • Coaching (Courses, Camps and coaching sessions)

and Select the ‘Assign discount’ button to apply the discount created.

Step 4:

Usage: select ‘How many times the discount can be used overall’, (this is optional) as is ‘How many times can any one customer use the discount code?’ – up to you if you’d like to set limits on usage or not, be aware that leaving it blank is limitless usage within the time frame selected.

Select the ‘Active dates’ time frame you’d like the Discount to last for, it’s optional to choose an expiry date and then click the ‘Create discount’ button once you’re done creating your discount.

Available discounts (Discounts which have commenced), Scheduled discounts (those not yet within the available date range) and Expired Discounts can be viewed on the Discounts page.

  1. You also have the option here to ‘Edit’ any discount created if situations change using the Edit button.
  2. The list of Discounts can also be Downloaded via the Download table button to a CSV or PDF file.

How does a Player use a discount at Checkout?
The player would search for your course or camp the usual way, they would select the course or camps dates as they would normally and then on the order summary page, the discount page would show.


Enter the code and the discount is applied and then they can confirm and pay

How to Bulk Cancel Court bookings

 

Bulk Cancellations:

This is a great feature to use when you have multiple bookings that need cancelling and will save you a lot of time!

Within the admin area, you can cancel an individual booking or you can bulk cancel selected bookings.

To bulk cancel court bookings, continue reading this guide.

Step 1:

You will first need to head into the Booking Module within the admin area. From here you will need to select the bookings you wish to cancel.

*Tip* – Before you confirm a bulk cancellation, please review your selections to ensure you’re only removing the bookings you intend.

Step 2:

Once you have clicked on all the bookings you wish to cancel, you will then need to click on the ‘bin’ icon (see above)

Here the following overlay will appear, this will allow you to confirm that you wish to cancel these court bookings as well as trigger any refunds. (verify that refunds fall within allowed time frame).

Once you have confirmed that you wish to cancel the selected bookings, you will need to click on the highlighted ‘Cancel Bookings’ button.

The bookings will now appear within your ‘Cancelled’ tab and any refunds will be given.

Daily Email Booking Reminders

Daily Email Booking Reminders

This is a great new feature where Booking Reminder emails will be sent automatically from Clubspark to players each morning.

These emails will be sent only to players who have a Clubspark court booking (or multiple bookings) for that day.

  1. Daily booking reminders by email: Who is this useful for, and why?

For players – this will remind them on the morning of their upcoming daily booking(s), plus give them a chance to cancel any bookings if their plans have changed. As a result, this also means more courts will become available for more players

For clubs- this will help free up courts for another player, help reduce the chance of bookers/members not showing up for bookings, and help clubs manage court utilisation.

For Igloohome/BCS court bookers – this is a very handy PIN reminder, particularly for coaches or people with multiple PINS for multiple bookings at multiple venues on the same day. Note, this email will only if the booking is under the ‘Booking’ category (i.e. it will not send if it’s a coaching category booking).

  1. About the email reminders:
  • The emails will be sent each night (approx. 1am) to all users that have a court booking for that day.
    Note – Players/ court bookers will only receive an email if they have at least one court booking that day for that venue.
  • The email will be sent for ‘Booking’ category types only for now.
  • The email will go to the person who has made the booking (or to the person the booking is made on behalf of)
  • The booker /booking contact will get a separate email for each venue they have booking at that day (e.g., if a coach has bookings at 2 different venues on the same day, they will receive 2 emails that morning – one for each venue).
    *Note – club admins, coaches and comp admins should make bookings using the relevant category e.g. competition, coaching, event etc).
  • Users are opted into the reminders by default but can unsubscribe by clicking “manage your bookings” and under Profile: Privacy and consents; unticking the court booking reminders check box
    (see section 3 below for steps on how to do this).
  • Juniors: Booking reminder emails for juniors will be sent to their parent/guardian who is linked in Clubspark)
  • Here’s an example of what the email looks like.

Administrators Guide:

  1. As an admin, how can i see if someone is subscribed or unsubscribed to emails?

Admins can go to the player/parents’ Clubspark Profile and view the Consents panel to see if a player has subscribed to receive daily booking reminder emails.

  • If the player is subscribed to receive daily court booking reminder emails, they will see a “Court booking reminders’ tag in the ‘Consents’ panel.
  • If they have unsubscribed, this tag will not appear.
  • This can also be viewed within the contacts module by viewing the ‘consents’ column in the contacts table.

2. As an admin – how do I add custom text to booking reminder emails?

  • Go to the bookings module. Click Settings, then Booking Emails
  • 2 options will display, Confirmation Information and Reminder Information
  • Type your free text information in the Reminder information box.
  • Hint – it’s best practice to keep this text relevant to bookings and access.
    This will ensure formatting remains optimal, and all other player consents are not breached.
  • Click Save

Section 3: Users can unsubscribe from Daily Booking Reminder Emails as per below:

  1. Select Profile
  2. Select Privacy and consents
  3. Reminder Emails: Untick Court booking reminders
  4. Click on Update my preferences to save changes

 

How to apply Updated Booking Rules

 

Updated Booking Rules:

In this guide you’ll be shown how to apply the updated booking rules for members, non-member or anyone with a role at your venue.

Benefits to admins include:

  • More Control Over Court Access – Helps prevent users from booking too many sessions over a longer period, ensuring fairer access.
  • Optimised Resource Management – Reduces overbooking and ensures better court utilisation over extended periods.
  • Court booking management – Greater flexibility, better visibility, and improved booking management for clubs

To access the new settings:

Step 1:

Navigate to:

  • Booking Module page
  • select Settings from left hand navigation
  • followed by Basic Settings.

Step 2:

Scroll down till you reach the Booking Rules section.

New:
Booking rules have one new change, the Maximum Bookings per day has been replaced with:

  • Max Bookings during period – The maximum no. of bookings a user can make during a period and
  • Max Booking period (days) – Is the maximum no. of bookings users can make within the specified time frame (days)

Booking rules allow you to decide – (from right to left as per the image above)

  • Advanced booking period (days) – How far in advance a booking can be made
  • Maximum bookings during period – How many bookings a player can make
  • Maximum bookings period (days) – Within a given time period (days)
  • Maximum booking slots per booking – How long the player will be on court
  • Minimum booking slots per booking – What is the minimum time that the player has to book a court for.

Example:

In the attached image above for “Everyone”, with timings previously set as booking slot duration = e.g. 60 minutes – can be described as:

Advance booking period (days) = 10.  This means the player can book up to 10 days in advance of the date they would like to book.

Max bookings during Period = 0. This means the player has no limit to the bookings they can make (add a value if you’d like to change this).

The period is set as

Max bookings period (days) = 1. This means the player can make a booking, every 1 day.
Anything higher than 1, The system will check X days before and after, the date the user is trying to making a booking for. Eg. maximum bookings during a period are 5 and the maximum bookings period in days is 7, this would mean a user is restricted to 5 bookings in an 14 day period as it checks 7 days before and 7 days after the date.

Max booking slots per booking = 4. This means the player can use 4 x 60-minute slots.

Minimum booking slots = 1. This means that that the minimum time of court is 1 booking slots i.e 1 x 60-minute slots = 1 hour minimum time on court

With all of these rules in place, the player can: Make 1 booking, up to 10 days in advance, every day, with no maximum time on court and a minimum of 1 hour per booking.

Step 3:

You also have the option to add rules and apply these to different types of users. E.g. the advanced booking period for a user with a responsibility as a ‘Coach’ could be longer than everyone else. You can add further rules by clicking the ‘Add row‘ tab.

Step 4:

Finally, make sure you save any changes you make by clicking on the ‘Save settings’ button at the bottom of the page before you exit.

Club Benefits of Multiple Booking sheets:
Venue and club administrators now have more control over facility bookings with our new Resources enhancement. You can highlight individual stand-alone spaces—such as tennis courts, pickleball courts, hitting walls, or ball machines—on their own booking sheets. By creating multiple sheets, you give members and your venue, clear options for hire.


Key Benefits

  • Flexible Bookings & Higher Utilisation
    Configure Resources to maximise court time and support a variety of sports and training formats.

  • Adaptable for New Activities
    Easily add emerging offerings—like Pickleball, Hot Shots, or Pop Tennis—to keep up with member interests.

  • Revenue Uplift
    Broader booking options drive more reservations and unlock new income streams.

  • Streamlined Operations
    Automate online reservations for every facility element to reduce administrative effort and free up staff time.

 

Adding Schedules to newly created Resources:

Once resources are added to the booking sheet, admins can open the Schedules module to assign or modify rulesets for those resources—or create new rulesets first and then apply them.
