PlayHQ Partners with Gr4vy to Power Payments Across Global Markets

Integration brings a consistent payments infrastructure across registrations, memberships, and competitions as PlayHQ expands internationally.

San Mateo, May 27, 2026 — Gr4vy, the cloud-based payment orchestration platform, today announced a partnership with PlayHQ, the unified sports management platform, to deliver scalable payments infrastructure across PlayHQ's international operations.

PlayHQ connects national governing bodies, associations, clubs, and participants on a single platform, managing registrations, competition scheduling, payments, and participant engagement at scale. To date, it has supported more than 11 million registrations, over 100,000 administrators and volunteers, and more than 3 million scheduled games across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Canada.

"PlayHQ is running sport at scale across multiple markets, and that puts real demands on payments infrastructure," said John Lunn, Founder and CEO of Gr4vy. "Our focus is on keeping registrations and competitions running, with payments that are reliable and flexible."

As PlayHQ expands internationally, Gr4vy enables the platform to support payments across regions without adding operational complexity or engineering overhead. Through Gr4vy's orchestration layer, PlayHQ can connect to multiple payment providers, introduce new payment methods, and maintain consistent payment performance across markets, including during peak registration periods.

"Payments are a critical part of how sports organizations operate," said Tim MacKinnon, CEO of PlayHQ. "Gr4vy gives us the infrastructure to deliver reliable, flexible payments as we expand into new markets—so organizations can focus on growing participation, not managing payment failures."

The integration is already live across multiple markets, supporting payments for Basketball England, Cricket Scotland, and Rugby Canada.

As participation grows and digital engagement becomes more central to sport operations, organizations need infrastructure that can scale with them. By combining PlayHQ’s platform with Gr4vy’s payments infrastructure, organizations can scale registrations and payments without needing to rebuild systems as they grow, while continuing to support sport at a local level.
