Why More Badminton Venues Are Offering Self-Service Rental

Not every visitor brings a racket. Many beginners want to try badminton before buying their own equipment, while occasional players may only visit a few times a year and don't see the need to own a racket. Group events, corporate team-building activities also bring large numbers of participants who arrive without equipment. Offering a badminton racket rental service allows venues to serve these customers immediately, improve the playing experience, and create an additional source of revenue with minimal staff involvement.

Ideal Applications

• Badminton clubs

• Public badminton courts

• University sports centers

• Stadium

How the Rental Process Works

Step 1 – Select a Racket & Complete Pre-Authorization

Customers choose their preferred badminton racket on the touchscreen or by scanning the QR code. They then pay by card or mobile payment, and the system places a pre-authorized hold on a preset amount. Once the locker opens, the customer takes the racket and closes the locker door.

Step 2 – Receive the Return Code

After the rental begins, the system automatically generates a unique Return Code. Customers can receive it in two ways:

• Printed on a receipt
• Displayed as a QR code on the screen for mobile access

This Return Code is required when returning the racket.

Step 3 – Return the Racket

When finished, the customer enters the Return Code at the locker vending machine. The original locker assigned to that rental opens automatically, allowing the customer to place the racket back inside.

Step 4 – Automatic Rental Fee Settlement

After the locker door is closed, the system calculates the rental duration based on your pricing rules. The rental fee is deducted from the pre-authorized amount, and any remaining balance is automatically released back to the customer's payment method. If additional charges apply, the system settles the difference automatically.
