How to set up bookings for your venue

Let people book at your venue: set the duration, capacity, schedule, prices, payment, approval and who can book.

Before you start

12 steps with screenshots of the app

If your organization has a venue, you can accept bookings through the app. Setup has three stages: duration and capacity, schedule and prices, and payment. This guide prepares an afternoon schedule, Tuesday to Friday, with payment outside the app.

  • Have the Meeplay app installed and be logged in to your account.
  • Manage an organization on Meeplay. If you don't have one yet, follow the How to create your organization guide first.
