Starter Tier Guide
The Starter tier is $20 per club per month and gives you everything you need to run your club's bookings — your members can book themselves, and staff can manage the schedule too. It comes with a 30-day free trial — no credit card required to start.
What's Included
✅ Member Self-Booking (members-only)
Members sign in and book their own tee times or courts. On Starter this is members-only — they sign in first — and there's no online payment step (collect any fees at the desk). Perfect for:
- Racquet clubs where members book their own courts
- Private and mens clubs running a members-only sheet
- Any club that wants members booking without taking cards online
✅ Unlimited Locations
Add as many courses, courts, or pools as you run — locations are unlimited on every tier.
✅ Admin Booking (any activity)
Staff can build and manage the schedule directly:
- Day and month views
- Booking management
- Real-time availability
- Staff permissions
✅ Up to 75 Members
Track up to 75 members in your club directory. Includes:
- Member profiles
- Booking history (admin-recorded)
- Contact information
- Group membership
✅ Email Support
- Email: support@clubpapel.com
- Response time: 48-72 hours
What's Not Included
❌ Online Payments
Online card payments (and the point-of-sale) require Pro tier or above. On Starter, members book without paying online — collect dues and any per-round or court fees at the desk.
❌ Public (Walk-In) Booking
Starter booking is members-only — members sign in to book. Pro adds public, walk-in booking with no sign-in (great for a public course or open courts).
❌ Unlimited Members
Starter is capped at 75 members. Pro and Enterprise are unlimited (guests never count toward the cap).
❌ Custom Branding
Pro adds the ability to upload your club's logo and customize the member-facing experience.
❌ Two-Factor Authentication
Pro and Enterprise both add 2FA for staff accounts.
