Requirements

What you need before getting started with GolfCartOps, including browser support and business details.

Before you start using GolfCartOps, make sure you have everything you need for a smooth setup.

Browser Support

GolfCartOps works in all modern web browsers. We recommend using the latest version of:

  • Google Chrome (recommended)
  • Safari (macOS and iOS)
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox

The driver mobile view is optimized for smartphones running iOS 15+ or Android 12+.

Business Details You Will Need

Have the following information ready when you create your account:

  • Business name and contact information
  • Location addresses for each rental shop or kiosk
  • Operating hours for each location
  • Fleet inventory -- how many carts, what types (4-seater, 6-seater, street-legal, etc.)
  • Pricing -- your daily, weekly, and hourly rates
  • Tax rates applicable to your locations

Stripe Account

GolfCartOps uses Stripe to process customer payments. You will need:

  • A Stripe account (free to create at stripe.com)
  • Your bank account details for receiving payouts
  • A valid government-issued ID for Stripe verification

You can set up Stripe during onboarding or add it later from Settings. Until Stripe is connected, you can still manage bookings and fleet -- you just cannot accept online payments.

Optional Integrations

These are not required to get started but unlock additional features:

  • Google Maps API key -- Enables interactive maps for delivery zones, driver tracking, and route planning
  • Twilio account -- Enables SMS notifications for delivery ETAs and booking reminders
  • GPS tracking provider -- Connect Zubie or compatible GPS devices for real-time fleet tracking

Internet Connection

GolfCartOps is a cloud-based platform. You need a reliable internet connection to access the dashboard. The public booking page and delivery tracking pages are optimized for mobile networks.
