Start around the registration provider you already use. Add photo coverage, sponsor value, and race-day operations first, then turn on native registration when it earns its place.
Photo coverage and sponsor inventory can stand alone. Native registration is optional, and it does not change the way your existing provider works until you choose to host registration with PodiumBase.
Your event earns 20% of photo sales. If you want photos to be free for athletes, sponsor inventory can carry the value instead.
Sell the sponsor package directly. PodiumBase supplies the placements, preview watermarking, and free-download treatment that make the package visible.
The runner can pay the platform fee, or you can absorb it. Stripe processing is shown separately at checkout. No listing fee.
No. External mode leaves registration with your current provider. PodiumBase adds the event page, gallery, photo discovery, check-in, and reporting around it.
The current race-director offer has no listing fee. Setup is concierge, so we confirm the event scope, photographer plan, and any sponsor treatment before launch.
Yes. A free gallery can use sponsor inventory instead of athlete-paid photo sales. Sponsor watermarks can appear on previews and free downloads, while purchased photos are delivered clean.
Start with one event, then talk with us about a repeatable series setup. Organization-level settings, repeat-event workflows, and custom arrangements can be reviewed together.
Tell us which event you want to activate and whether registration stays external or moves native. We will map the smallest useful launch with you.
