How Match Payments & Refunds Work on Main Court

Collecting payments and handling refunds is easy on Main Court. Whether you’re running a match, lesson, clinic, or tournament, you can set pricing up front so players pay directly through the app or from your event page on the website—no more tracking down payments or managing spreadsheets.

To manage payments and refunds on Main Court, follow the steps below:

Step 1: When creating your match, lesson, or event, set the price or court fee players must pay to join.

Step 2: Players pay directly through the app or on your event listing on maincourt.com.

Step 3: Players are only confirmed once they complete payment. Free events confirm players right away.

Step 4: If a paid event has a waitlist, players who are accepted will receive notification by email and in-app to submit payment and confirm their spot.

Step 5: As the organizer, tap the "$" button in your event to view who’s paid, who’s unpaid, and who’s on the waitlist.

Step 6: If a player cancels Main Court processes their refund automatically.

Step 7: Players get email confirmations at every step—when they register, when they’re approved from the waitlist, and when their payment goes through.

Main Court takes the stress out of collecting payments and managing refunds—so you can spend less time chasing players and more time growing your events.
