FEATURE USAGE - ADMINISTRATORS' PERSPECTIVE

CourtReserve takes payments on an integrated, tokenized form from each provider. This seamless integration offers a secure and convenient experience for both administrators and end-users. Please note that CourtReserve does not store any financial data from the merchant providers. Credit card readers can be purchased through the merchant (i.e. SafeSave, Stripe).

FEATURE USAGE - PLAYERS' PERSPECTIVE

For club members, the payment experience is straightforward and secure. The tokenized system ensures their financial data remains safe while providing the convenience of online payments.
