Whether youโre renting tennis courts, squash rooms, padel fields, or golf driving ranges, Cowlendarโs 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.
๐ฏ 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 whoโs using what field and when.
A simple, client-friendly booking experience where customers can choose a specific court or field.
Great for:
๐ธ Tennis and padel courts
โณ Golf practice ranges
๐ Squash rooms
๐ Indoor volleyball fields
๐ฅ Small-sided football turf spaces
๐ ๏ธ How to Add a Sports Field as Equipment
You can add Sports Field equipment from:
โ Option A โ 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 Restaurant Reservation as the equipment type and proceed with the configuration (see next section).
โ Option B โ From the Equipment Section
Go to Shopify > Apps > Cowlendar.
Click on Equipment in the left-hand menu.
Click + Add Equipment.
Choose the type: Restaurant Reservation.
Both methods lead to the same result. Choose the one that fits your workflow best.
๐งพ Equipment Configuration Options
When creating a Sports Field Rental, youโll only need to complete the General Info section:
General Information
Internal Name: Used for internal tracking. E.g., โTennis Court 1โ.
Customer Label: Displayed to the customer when selecting a court. E.g., โClay Court Aโ or โGolf Range #2โ.
Description _(optional)_: Add additional information like surface type, location (indoor/outdoor), or amenities.
๐พ Example: โPadel Court B โ Covered | Synthetic Turf | Includes lighting until 9 PMโ
โ ๏ธ 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:
โTennis Court 1โ
โTennis Court 2โ
โTennis Court 3โ
โTennis Court 4โ
This method guarantees full control and avoids overlapping reservations.
๐ Link the Equipment to a Service
Once youโve created all your sports fields:
Go to My Services.
Edit or create your sports rental service (e.g., โBook a Tennis Courtโ).
In the Availability tab, select Availability per Equipment.
Choose which fields should be linked to this service.
Save your changes.
โ Each field will be bookable based on its own real-time availability.
