Bookings PRO
Online bookings for your fishery, paid by card
Anglers book a peg, a place or a whole lake from your CastTracker pages and pay by card, straight into your own account. No more bookings by text, and no booking fee for your anglers.
Three ways to book
Choose how each lake is booked
Every lake can work differently. Turn bookings on for the lakes that need them and leave the rest as walk-on.
By peg
Anglers see which pegs are free and choose their swim. Single and double pegs are handled for you.
By number of places
Sell a set number of places on a lake, with pegs chosen on arrival or by draw.
Whole lake
Let a group book an entire lake, for a social, a club day or a week away.
Built for the bank
Everything a fishery booking system should do
Your tickets and prices
Day, night, 24 or 48 hours, a week, or your own. Set what an angler sharing a double peg pays.
Card payments to your account
Anglers pay by card on Stripe when they book. The money goes into your own Stripe account and is paid out to your bank.
Tickets at the peg
Anglers who turn up without a booking buy a ticket on their phone when they check in. Payment never stops anyone fishing.
Phone bookings and cash
Add bookings taken by phone, mark them paid, and let anglers pay the bailiff if you prefer.
Closures and matches
Close pegs or whole lakes for matches, work parties or bad weather. You see any bookings affected before you close.
No double bookings
Every peg and date is checked as the booking is made, so two anglers can never book the same swim.
Your cancellation rules
Choose how far ahead anglers can book, the cancellation cut-off and whether refunds are full, less fees or none.
Emails sent for you
Anglers get a confirmation, a cancellation or refund email, and a reminder if a ticket is still unpaid.
Every booking in one place
A week view of every lake, a six-character reference on each booking, and today's bookings in your 8am email.
Fees
What bookings cost
Bookings come with the Pro plan. Card payments are processed by Stripe straight into your account, so you pay Stripe's standard card fees plus 20p per booking to CastTracker. There is no other commission, and anglers pay no booking fee.
Pro, online bookings and card payments are opening to a small number of pilot venues first. Get in touch if you would like to be one of them. Talk to us
