How to Charge Entry Fees for a Badminton Tournament

The single biggest reason small Badminton clubs burn out is the admin around money. Fees, refunds, "did you pay last week?", manual reconciliation. Built-in payments cut all of it.

How Volley solves it

Volley has built-in payments via Apple Pay, Google Pay, and card. Players pay through the app when they register for an event or join a club. Funds are tracked in an organiser dashboard, refunds are a tap, and payouts hit your bank in 2-3 days. 5% platform fee — everything else is yours.

Volley charges 5% on paid features and nothing else. No monthly fee, no setup cost, no per-event charges. You only pay when you make money.

Set it up in 3 steps

Step 1: Create the club or event in Volley. Step 2: Toggle "Paid" and set the entry fee. Step 3: Link your payout bank account. Done — players can now pay through the join link.

Players don't need a Volley payment account. They tap the join link, pick Apple Pay / Google Pay / card, and pay. Their slot is confirmed instantly.

Free on iOS and Android

Volley is free to download. 5% platform fee on paid features. Payouts hit your bank in 2-3 days.
