For race directors
You only pay when we bring you something.
A ladder of involvement: free photo coverage, host your registration, or earn club-driven signups.
01 · Photo coverage
Photo coverage
Free
We earn only when your runners buy photos. No fee to participate.
02 · Native registration
Host registration with us
$1 + 5%
Per signup, paid by the runner, and the 5% leg is capped at $15, so no entry ever costs more than $16. Less than typical platforms, around 6% + $1, so you keep more of every entry.
03 · Club referrals
Club referrals
5% + club's share
Platform fee plus the club's negotiated share, only on registrations a local run club brings you. You pay nothing for signups you'd have gotten anyway.
The honest through-line: you only pay PodiumBase when we bring you registrations or host your checkout.

From both sides of the lens.
“The Monday after a race we used to get hundreds of where-are-my-photos emails. PodiumBase makes that number a rounding error.”
Race director
Regional road-race series
“Clear publication status is what athletes remember. We rebuilt the post-race experience around it.”
Race director
Urban half-marathon
“Resumable uploads survived race-day Wi-Fi. The payout history shows what PodiumBase has issued without me chasing anything.”

Questions
The short answers
- What is PodiumBase?
- PodiumBase is a race-photo marketplace. Athletes browse by event or bib; where event support, account eligibility, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it, selfie search may return likely eligible matches. Race directors recruit photographers, and photographers get paid per event. One platform connects all three.
- How do I find my race photos?
- Find your race in the PodiumBase catalog and use the search options offered on its photo page. Where event, account, consent, age, and jurisdiction gates allow it, a consented selfie may return likely eligible published matches; bib search availability also varies. Missed and false matches are possible.
- Is my selfie and face data safe?
- The selfie image is deleted within 60 seconds. Event-page and eligible cross-event one-time searches do not retain its derived face signature; where limited-release enrollment is available, it can store a derived signature under active consent for supported future matching until you withdraw consent or request deletion. Consent and audit records may remain. We never sell or rent biometric data.
- How much does it cost?
- Finding your photos is free; you only pay if you buy one, as a one-time license with no subscription. A single photo is $14.99 from a Pro photographer or $3.99 from a Community photographer.
- How do race directors and photographers use PodiumBase?
- Race directors post their event and recruit photographers with a guaranteed floor or as rep-only at $0. On payment-backed assignments, eligible sale earnings count toward the guaranteed minimum, and PodiumBase tops up any remaining gap after completed coverage. Separately, race directors earn a 20% revenue share on eligible photo sales. Athletes get a personalized gallery of their own photos.

The details
Fine print, kept honest.
Payment processing
All payments on PodiumBase are processed by Stripe, Inc. Standard Stripe payment processing fees apply and are deducted by Stripe before the Stripe Connect distribution to the photographer and the Platform. Stripe’s terms govern the payment-processing relationship; see Section 7 of the Terms of Service for the cross-reference.
Photographer payouts
Photographers are paid out via Stripe Connect on Stripe’s standard payout schedule, typically T+2 business days for active accounts in good standing, though Stripe’s schedule governs the exact timing. Before any payouts can be issued, photographers must complete Stripe Connect onboarding, including identity verification and connecting a bank account, directly with Stripe. PodiumBase does not hold photographer funds; Stripe does, per Stripe’s Connected Account Agreement.
Taxes
Prices displayed to buyers include applicable sales tax or VAT where PodiumBase is required to collect under the buyer’s jurisdiction tax law. Where collection is required, the tax amount is itemized at checkout. Photographers are responsible for income reporting and any associated income, self-employment, or business taxes in their own jurisdiction.
Refunds
Refunds are governed by the Refund Policy. In summary: there is a 24-hour buyer self-service refund window from time of purchase, plus a discretionary dispute-resolution process for documented issues raised within 14 days. Purchases are also subject to the Terms of Service. The Refund Policy is authoritative; the summary here is informational.
Currency
All transactions on PodiumBase are denominated in U.S. dollars (USD) at launch. Buyers outside the U.S. will see their card issuer’s standard foreign-transaction fees and exchange rate applied at the time of charge; those fees are not assessed by PodiumBase. Multi-currency support is planned for a post-launch release.
