Payments
How to Get Paid to Run a Pickleball Group
Pickleball organisers waste hours every week chasing payments. Cash envelopes get lost. Bank transfers come in late. Venmo screenshots pile up. The only fix is built-in payments tied directly to the event roster. That's what Volley does.
How Volley solves it
Built-in payments mean you collect entry fees through the app instead of chasing cash. The flow: player taps Register, picks Apple Pay / Google Pay / card, pays. Their slot is confirmed instantly. You see the receipt in your organiser dashboard.
5% platform fee on paid features. Everything else is yours. No monthly subscription, no per-transaction limits, no payout delays beyond the standard 2-3 days.
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.
