What it costs

The package price, and nothing hidden.

You pay

The package price, plus the fee

The price is set by the race selling the package. The PodiumBase platform fee and card processing are added on top and shown on the package terms before you submit a request, and you pay through checkout once it is approved.

  • No subscription or platform fee to browse
  • No invoicing: checkout and order status in your account
  • A performance report with every eligible order

The organizer gets

The full package price

The platform fee is 5% to 20% of the package, depending on how the sponsor found the organizer: 5% on a sponsor the organizer brings, up to 20% when PodiumBase sources the sponsor. $25 minimum, or the package price if lower.

  • Paid to the organizer through Stripe
  • Organizers choose whether a request needs their approval
  • Your mark appears only where the package says

Questions

What brands ask first.

Who sets the price?

The race selling the package sets the price and the deliverables. You see the price and any fees before you submit a request.

Do I need to sign a contract or send invoices?

No. You accept the package terms and pay through checkout, after the organizer approves your request when the package asks for approval. Order status is tracked in your account.

What does the report include?

It covers the package you bought: placements delivered, impressions, clicks, QR scans, and downloads on the sponsored media, each labelled with its source. It is not a CRM-grade attribution tool.

Where does my brand appear?

Depending on the package: the event page, the photo gallery, and watermarks on photo previews and free downloads. Purchased photos are delivered clean.

How many packages are available near me?

It depends on your market. Inventory is growing city by city, so some markets have more races listed than others.
