How to Collect Membership Fees for Your Pickleball Club
The single biggest reason small Pickleball 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.
