Sweden's padel boom filled the courts — and left most halls renting their own booking flow from a marketplace that owns the player relationship and takes fees on every booking. Meridianstacks builds a padel booking system that belongs to your hall: your prices, your memberships and klipp-kort, your player data, Swish built in — and no per-booking fees, ever. Senior, fluent-English engineers work your business day — your matched hub is Johannesburg (UTC+2), the same clock as Stockholm in summer and never more than an hour out — with a fixed price in SEK and full code ownership.
Custom padel court booking software from Meridianstacks costs 80,000–160,000 kr for a focused single-hall system (Focused tier), 160,000–320,000 kr for a multi-court platform with memberships, klipp-kort and Swish (Standard tier), or 240,000–505,000 kr for a full web + iOS & Android product (Full tier) — a fixed price in SEK, ex VAT, billed by milestone. Unlike a marketplace platform, there are no ongoing per-booking fees and the player data is yours. Many halls sensibly keep a marketplace listing for new-player discovery and run their own system for everything else.
Let's be fair: platforms like Playtomic are genuinely good at what they were built for. The player network and matchmaking are real strengths — a visitor to your city finds your courts, an odd number of players becomes a four. That discovery engine is worth something, and we won't pretend otherwise.
The trade is what it costs you on every other booking. Your regulars — the people who would book with you anyway — book through an app that isn't yours, under pricing and cancellation rules shaped by the platform, with fees taken along the way and the player relationship living in someone else's database. Your memberships, your klipp-kort, your off-peak pricing all have to fit whatever the platform happens to support.
An owned system flips that: the marketplace becomes one acquisition channel among several, while the hall's core business — regulars, members, teams, corporate slots — runs on software that fits your hall exactly and costs nothing per booking.
You don't have to choose on day one. Most halls we talk to run both:
No cliff-edge migration, no lost discovery — just a growing share of bookings on which nobody takes a cut.
This isn't a generic booking template with a padel skin. Every feature below is shaped by the way halls actually operate — peak evenings, quiet mornings, members who expect priority, and teams that want the same court every Tuesday at 19:00.
A clear, predictable process with a realistic timeline. You see working software early and own everything at handover.
Typical 8–12 weeks for a multi-court platform; a focused single-hall system ships in 5–9 weeks. Milestone billing throughout — you pay for delivered, accepted work.
