Accepting GCash and Maya for court bookings (without losing track)
Take e-wallet payments into your own account and match every transfer to a booking.
October 5, 2026 · 5 min read
GCash and Maya are how most players want to pay. The problem isn’t receiving money — it’s knowing which ₱700 transfer was for which court, and spotting the screenshot that was edited.
How it works on CourtSpace
- 1Add your GCash, Maya or QR Ph account in Payments. The account must be in your name or your business’s name — players see the account name before they pay.
- 2At checkout, the player pays to your QR and uploads the receipt screenshot. No typing needed.
- 3The booking shows up as a transfer to check. You open your GCash or Maya app, find the reference shown on the screenshot, and tap Approve — or Reject with a reason.
The money goes straight from the player to you. CourtSpace never holds it, and there’s no payout to wait for.
QR payments turn on once your venue is verified (business permit checked). Until then, players pay at the venue.
Don’t let checks pile up
Each transfer has a deadline: two hours after the player sends it, or the start of their slot if that’s sooner. Nothing confirms automatically — a person always checks. If you have front desk staff, give them “Check GCash/Maya transfers” so it isn’t only on you.
- Match the reference number, not just the amount. Two players can send the same amount.
- Check the time on the transfer against the time the booking was made.
- If something looks off, reject it. The slot opens again and the player sees your reason.
Deposits instead of full payment
If asking for the full amount upfront feels like too much, take a 25%, 50% or 75% deposit. The rest is paid at the counter, and the booking shows what’s still due.
See what came in
The Money page splits what was booked from what was collected, by day, week and month, and by method — so the end-of-day count is a glance, not a calculator session.
