SportyFriends and Padel iQ are two innovative booking platforms for sports clubs, making organizing and attracting members easy for sports communities. From the start, the vision has been to create world-class, technically advanced solutions with intuitive user designs that are extremely easy for clubs and users. The two platforms integrate everything – including booking, payments, administration, and communication – creating a complete overview.
SportyFriends launched in 2019 and chose Quickpay as their payment gateway. 180,000 users are affiliated with it, spread across 150 independent sports clubs and large companies with their own sports clubs. Padel iQ, the world’s most advanced system for padel clubs, launched in 2022, and the goal is to reach 400,000 users by the end of 2025. The immense popularity of padel sports in Denmark and the rest of the world increases the forecasts almost daily, with plans to scale this booking platform internationally.
Close partnership and personal service
“Quickpay primarily adds value to us by offering a secure and efficient financial infrastructure, which is essential for our operations. It’s a reliable payment solution that makes it easy for sports clubs to build trust with users and ensure that payments are processed quickly. It is also incredibly easy to onboard new clubs, saving us and our customers time,” says Morten Wiegandt, CEO of SportyFriends and Padel iQ.
“Additionally, I would like to emphasize that from day one, we experienced a very close partnership with Quickpay. Back then, we were a small tech startup without customers, but Quickpay saw potential in us and made a great effort to accommodate us with competitive prices and good, personalized service. They have a great partner setup, which has allowed us to focus on our core business without worrying about the payment system,” he says.
Expanding with Quickpay
While SportyFriends primarily focuses on the Danish market and supports local sports clubs, Padel iQ has a more global perspective. Quickpay is used for booking platforms in Denmark and the European countries that Quickpay supports. Outside Europe, Padel iQ uses other payment gateways.
“Essentially, Quickpay is a solid payment platform we can grow with in many countries. It is important for us to have a reliable partner on this journey, who understands our business and is always available. It’s a huge help for us amid our international scaling,” says Morten Wiegandt.
