# 🎾 How to Set Up Sports Fields as Equipment in Cowlendar

> Configure sports courts and fields as bookable equipment units in Cowlendar.

Whether you’re renting **tennis courts, squash rooms, padel fields, or golf driving ranges**, Cowlendar’s **Sports Field Rental** equipment type is designed to help you manage bookings **per field** with complete flexibility.

This feature is perfect for businesses that rent **physical spaces** for individual or group sessions and need to manage **availability per court or field**.

### 🎯 Why Use Sports Field Rental as Equipment?

This type of configuration is ideal when you want:

**Each sports field** to have its own independent booking schedule.
Control and visibility over **who’s using what field and when**.
A simple, client-friendly booking experience where customers can choose a specific court or field.

Great for:

🏸 Tennis and padel courts
⛳ Golf practice ranges
🏓 Squash rooms
🏐 Indoor volleyball fields
🥅 Small-sided football turf spaces

### 🛠️ How to Add a Sports Field as Equipment

You can add Sports Field equipment from:

#### ✅ Option A – From Inside the Service

Go to **Shopify > Apps > Cowlendar**.
Click on **My Services**.
Create a new service or edit an existing one.
Under the **Availability** tab, select **Availability per Equipment**.
A new section will appear to **create equipment directly from the service**.
Select **Sports Field** as the equipment type and proceed with the configuration (see next section).

#### ✅ Option B – From the Equipment Section

Go to **Shopify > Apps > Cowlendar**.
Click on **Equipment** in the left-hand menu.
Click **+ Add Equipment**.

#### General Information

**Internal Name**: Used for internal tracking. E.g., “Tennis Court 1”.
**Customer Label**: Displayed to the customer when selecting a court. E.g., “Clay Court A” or “Golf Range #2”.
**Description** _(optional)_: Add additional information like surface type, location (indoor/outdoor), or amenities.

> 🎾 Example: “Padel Court B – Covered | Synthetic Turf | Includes lighting until 9 PM”

### ⚠️ Important: One Equipment per Field

If you manage **multiple fields**, **do not** try to use a single equipment entry with multiple units. This equipment type **does not include quantity and capacity** settings.

**Instead:**

Create **a separate entry** for **each sports field**.
Each field will then have its **own availability and booking calendar**.
Example: For 4 tennis courts, create:
“Tennis Court 1”
“Tennis Court 2”
“Tennis Court 3”
“Tennis Court 4”

This method guarantees full control and avoids overlapping reservations.

### 🔗 Link the Equipment to a Service

Once you’ve created all your sports fields:

Go to **My Services**.
Edit or create your sports rental service (e.g., “Book a Tennis Court”).
In the **Availability** tab, select **Availability per Equipment**.
Choose which fields should be linked to this service.
Save your changes.

> ✅ Each field will be bookable based on its own real-time availability.
