The idea

Tennis players need a way to find coaches, hitting partners, and equipment stringing services in their area. We built Open Court Club as a community marketplace for the tennis ecosystem.

What we built

A Sharetribe Community Edition marketplace developed over a few sprints:

  • Stripe payment integration Secure and efficient transactions for bookings
  • Marketplace redesign Improved user experience and an attractive landing page
  • Review and rating system Revamped review logic for more accurate and helpful feedback
  • User verification Added verification steps to enhance trust and safety
  • Referral discount program A discount code system to incentivize user growth and engagement
  • Multi-service profiles Coaches, hitting partners, and stringing service providers on one platform

The result

We built a community marketplace that brought the tennis ecosystem (players, coaches, and service providers) together in one platform. Stripe integration facilitated secure payments. The redesigned interface and landing page improved engagement. Verification and reviews built trust. The referral program helped drive user growth.

The team has worked with many Sharetribe projects already so they can think creatively with you and solve problems in a cost efficient and effective way. … They kept the schedule, were professional and all features work as expected. Most importantly the developments don't block you managing everything from the console so you remain independent after.
