โš ๏ธWarning
This is an Ultra feature. If you're currently using the free version of Cowlendar, you'll need to upgrade your plan to access this functionality.

Whether youโ€™re renting tennis courts, squash rooms, padel fields, or golf driving ranges, Cowlendarโ€™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.

๐ŸŽฏ 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 whoโ€™s using what field and when.

A simple, client-friendly booking experience where customers can choose a specific court or field.

Great for:

๐Ÿธ Tennis and padel courts

โ›ณ Golf practice ranges

๐Ÿ“ Squash rooms

๐Ÿ Indoor volleyball fields

๐Ÿฅ… Small-sided football turf spaces

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ How to Add a Sports Field as Equipment

You can add Sports Field equipment from:

โœ… 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).

โœ… 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.

๐Ÿงพ Equipment Configuration Options

When creating a Sports Field Rental, youโ€™ll only need to complete the General Info section:

General Information

Internal Name: Used for internal tracking. E.g., โ€œTennis Court 1โ€.

Customer Label: Displayed to the customer when selecting a court. E.g., โ€œClay Court Aโ€ or โ€œGolf Range #2โ€.

Description _(optional)_: Add additional information like surface type, location (indoor/outdoor), or amenities.

๐ŸŽพ Example: โ€œPadel Court B โ€“ Covered | Synthetic Turf | Includes lighting until 9 PMโ€

โš ๏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:

โ€œTennis Court 1โ€

โ€œTennis Court 2โ€

โ€œTennis Court 3โ€

โ€œTennis Court 4โ€

This method guarantees full control and avoids overlapping reservations.

๐Ÿ”— Link the Equipment to a Service

Once youโ€™ve created all your sports fields:

Go to My Services.

Edit or create your sports rental service (e.g., โ€œBook a Tennis Courtโ€).

In the Availability tab, select Availability per Equipment.

Choose which fields should be linked to this service.

Save your changes.

โœ… Each field will be bookable based on its own real-time availability.
