The Courtely marketplace is the consumer side of the Courtely platform — a mobile app that connects padel players in the GCC with the venues around them. Players discover courts nearby, check live availability, book and pay in seconds, and manage every reservation in one place. Built bilingual in Arabic and English with full right-to-left support, it runs on the same Courtely backend that powers venue websites, in-venue point of sale, and back-office management.
What sets the marketplace apart is how it handles groups. Padel is played four to a court, so settling the bill is usually the friction. Courtely lets one player open a group reservation and either split the cost — each accepted player paying their own share through their own card — or pay in full for everyone. Shares are calculated server-side over the players who actually join, so a smaller party still confirms without anyone being charged for an empty slot.
The app follows a browse-gate model: anyone can explore venues, prices, availability, and open matches without an account. You sign in — quickly, by phone one-time passcode — only at the moment you take action, such as booking a court or joining a match. That keeps discovery open and friction-free while still securing every payment and reservation to a verified player identity.
Discovery in the Courtely app is built around location. The marketplace shows padel and racket-sport venues around you and sorts them by distance, with filters for sport and city. Each venue card opens to its courts, photos, and live time slots, so you can go from browsing to a confirmed booking without leaving the app. Because availability is read in real time, a slot someone else takes simply disappears — no double bookings, no guesswork.
To book, you choose a venue, date, duration, and an open slot, then pay through Moyasar — the hosted payment form that accepts Visa, Mastercard, and Mada with 3D Secure. Courtely's pricing is authoritative on the server: the amount you pay is computed and verified by the backend, never set on the device, and held in halalas for exactness. Payment confirmation is server-driven, combining an immediate verification with webhook confirmation, so a booking only flips to paid when the money is truly settled.
Every player has a My Bookings view that separates upcoming games from past ones, each tagged with a status badge — pending, reserved, paid, cancelled, or refunded. From there you can settle an unpaid booking, add a game to your calendar, rebook a slot you liked, or cancel an upcoming reservation. Cancellation is handled entirely on the server: Courtely re-checks that the booking belongs to you, releases the slot back to availability, and refunds any paid Moyasar charge according to the venue's policy.
The Matches board turns a single booking into a social game. Host a match from one of your reservations and let other players join, or browse open matches near you — filtered by sport and city — and join one that fits, watching the player roster fill in real time. Players can join or leave a match in a tap. Teams let you save the groups you play with regularly, so pulling your usual crew into a match or a group booking is instant rather than a string of messages.
Group reservations are where Courtely removes the awkward part of playing together. The owner opens a group booking and picks a mode: split, where each accepted player pays an even share on their own card, or full, where the owner prepays the entire court. Shares are computed over the accepted roster only and re-balanced whenever someone joins, so the totals always add up exactly and a party of fewer than four still confirms. A seven-day join link invites the rest, and the booking confirms the instant every share is covered.
For venues, the marketplace is one more way to fill courts, fully connected to the rest of Courtely. A court booked in the app lands on the same schedule and ledger as the venue's own website bookings and in-venue point-of-sale sales, so staff see online reservations right at the till and never re-enter anything. Online payments run through Moyasar while in-venue sales use NearPay tap-to-pay terminals; the two rails are reconciled by Courtely's two-way sync into a single view — one schedule, one ledger, no double-entry.
