Vending for pickleball & padel

Turn every court into a 24/7 paddle shop.

PaddleVend puts a smart, self-serve machine in your venue that hires paddles, sells balls and sells paddles — contactless, around the clock, with no one on the desk.

The hardware

A real machine — built, branded, ready to place.

Individually locking compartments for hire-and-return, retail bays for balls and paddles, contactless tap-to-pay and a self-serve screen — all in one mobile, brandable unit.

26 locking compartments

Large bays and tall lockers for paddles, plus smaller bays for balls and accessories — each individually controlled.

Contactless tap-to-pay

Card or phone. Players tap, the door releases — no cash, no float, no reconciliation for your team.

Hire & return, self-serve

On-screen steps walk players through collecting and returning gear. No staff involvement, any hour of the day.

Mobile & brandable

On castors, so you roll it into place indoors or under cover. Fully wrappable to your venue's brand — the unit pictured wears an example wrap.

One machine, three revenue streams

Hire it. Grab balls. Take one home.

Hire

Hire a paddle

Tap, take, play, return to a locker. Perfect for guests, beginners and casual bookings — a low-friction way to say yes to anyone who rocks up without gear.

Sell

Sell balls

Fresh pickleballs and padel balls on demand. No dead-ball delays, no chasing reception — just a tap and back on court.

Retail

Sell paddles

Premium paddles for sale at the point of decision. Turn a great session into a purchase before the player leaves the building.

The money you're leaving on court

Players want to hire, buy and upgrade. Your desk isn't always there to sell.

Every session there's demand your venue can't capture — and after-hours and unmanned bookings make up more of the calendar every month.

01

They forgot a paddle

A guest, a first-timer, a corporate group — someone always turns up empty-handed. Right now they borrow a beat-up loaner or don't play. That's a hire sale gone.

02

The balls are dead

Cracked ball mid-game, no one at reception. Players will pay on the spot to keep playing — if there's somewhere to pay.

03

They're ready to buy

A player falls in love with the sport and wants their own paddle. Impulse fades by the time they get home. Capture it courtside.

04

Nobody's on the desk

Off-peak, early mornings, unmanned access. Your courts still run — but the retail counter is closed. The machine never clocks off.

Why operators put one in

It pays its own way and asks nothing of your team.

→

A new revenue line

Hire, ball and paddle margin that didn't exist before — earning on peak and off-peak alike.

→

Zero staffing

Fully self-serve and contactless. No till, no counter, no extra roster.

→

Runs 24/7

Sells while you sleep. Ideal for unmanned access and after-hours court hire.

→

You control the stock

Buy paddles and balls from PaddleVend or use your own suppliers — your call, your margin.

→

Easy to restock

You refill it yourself in minutes when it runs low. No lock-in, no waiting on anyone.

→

Better guest experience

Nobody's turned away for forgetting gear. Every booking can play.

Finance available

Put one in for nothing upfront.

Finance the machine and let it pay for itself out of the revenue it generates. Low barrier to start, so the maths works from day one instead of year two.

From enquiry to earning

Three steps and it's working for you.

1

We install

We deliver and set up the right machine for your venue, wired for contactless pay. You load it with stock — from us or your own supplier. Finance sorted if you want it.

2

Players tap

They hire a paddle, grab balls or buy one outright — all self-serve, contactless, any hour. No involvement from your team.

3

You earn

Revenue flows to your venue and you keep the margin on every sale. Restock it yourself when it runs low — a dormant corner of the building starts paying rent.
