Clubspark software offer a discounts and credits feature. This article covers an overview of the features, listing the benefits of offering discounts and credits and how to apply and activate them to your players and members.
Court Booking & Coaching Credits
Administrators can now apply credits to player accounts for bookings and courses. These credits can be given in place of a refund or in case of issues like rain/weather or cancelled courses. You can apply credits to multiple players or individual players. You can set an expiry date of when the credits should be used by. You can choose a custom amount to credit players.
The benefits of offering credits is that you don't need to complete partial refunds or create additional sessions to make up for unplanned, circumstances outside of your control. We know that the majority are outside and the weather can be a big factor, but there are lots of other reasons why sessions may be cancelled at the last minute. Credits will assist you with retaining the money you have already collected and allow the members to use the credits for future courses or court bookings.
