WhatsApp Booking for Turfs, Courts & Sports Venues

Players book slots on your turf, box-cricket pitch or badminton court over WhatsApp — with a deposit to hold the slot and reminders so teams show up. No more double-bookings.

For a turf or court, the whole business is packed into a few golden hours. Weekday evenings and weekend mornings sell out fast while mid-afternoon sits empty, and the enquiries all arrive at once, usually while you are marking lines or refereeing a game. Take them by phone and you are either missing calls or scribbling slots on a whiteboard that two staff read differently, which is exactly how the same 8pm pitch ends up promised to two different teams.

Welqo keeps a live view of every court and pitch as its own resource, so when a captain messages 'Is the 8pm turf free this Saturday?' the AI answers from real availability, books the exact slot, and blocks it everywhere at once, with no clashes even across four courts. Because peak slots are the ones teams flake on, you can ask for a deposit to hold them: the captain pays a small advance in the same chat, the slot is locked, and a reminder goes out before kick-off so all eleven players actually turn up. If a booked team cancels, the freed slot is offered to your waitlist automatically instead of going dark for the evening.

Every rupee of that deposit lands in your own account, since you connect your own Razorpay or UPI in India (international cards supported), and Welqo takes 0% commission because it is a flat monthly tool rather than a marketplace skimming your bookings. Regular teams can buy a prepaid pack of slots up front and sit in your own customer list, and your weekly digest shows which hours are selling out and which quiet ones are worth a broadcast to fill. Because the booking link is yours to share on Instagram or your website, the players you win stay yours to rebook rather than a marketplace's.

Frequently asked questions

How does it stop two teams booking the same court at the same time?

Each court or pitch is set up as its own resource with its own availability. The AI books against that live availability and blocks the slot everywhere the instant it is taken, so even if two captains message within seconds of each other, only one gets the slot and the other is offered the next opening. Nothing is double-booked, however many courts you run.

Do I need a card machine or a separate gateway to take slot deposits?

No. You connect your own Razorpay or UPI account in India (international cards supported), and the learner or captain pays the deposit inside the WhatsApp chat. The money settles straight to your own account and Welqo takes 0% commission on it, because it charges a flat monthly subscription rather than a cut of each booking. Deposits are part of the Front Desk plan.

What happens when a team cancels a peak slot at the last minute?

The slot is released and offered to your waitlist automatically, so a cancelled Saturday evening can refill itself rather than sitting empty. If you took a deposit to hold that slot, it protects you against the no-show, and a win-back message can prompt the team to rebook for another time.

Can regular teams pay for a block of slots in advance?

Yes. On the Front Desk plan you can sell a prepaid pack, for example ten slots, that a regular team buys once. Each booking draws one slot from the pack automatically, so both you and the team can see how many are left, and the payment settles to your own account with 0% commission taken.
