Migration guide
Switch your regulars from Hudle to direct — keep the discovery, drop the commission
Racket-sport venues have the most to gain from a direct channel: the same players book multiple times a week, so every repeat booking routed through a marketplace is margin you chose to give away. The move is additive, not destructive — keep your Hudle listing for first-timers, launch your own page for everyone who already knows you. Here's the setup and the playbook.
The 48-hour setup
- Hours 0–4: model your courts in Cuetronix with hour-by-hour pricing, academy batch blocks and member rates.
- Hours 4–12: connect Razorpay (settlements go to your bank), publish your branded booking page.
- Hours 12–24: import your member and player lists into the CRM; set up memberships and session packs.
- Hours 24–48: live-test bookings, add the link to Instagram bio, Google Business and your WhatsApp auto-reply, print the counter QR.
The regulars playbook
- Message your weekly regulars first — they're booking you anyway; give them the direct link plus a member perk funded by saved commission.
- Move recurring batch/coaching bookings direct immediately — marketplaces handle recurrence poorly and it's your stickiest volume.
- Publish off-peak member pricing only on your direct page — a reason to book direct that costs you nothing at quiet hours.
FAQ
How quickly can a court start taking direct bookings?
About 48 hours end-to-end: court setup, Razorpay connection, page live, players imported. The 14-day free trial covers setup comfortably.
Should I keep my Hudle listing after going direct?
Usually yes — for new-player discovery. The goal isn't leaving the marketplace; it's ending platform economics on regulars who'd book you directly anyway.
