Nothing. There is no signup fee, no monthly subscription, no listing fee and no charge for creating an event. Laces earns only when a runner successfully pays.
UGX 500 plus 2.9% of the order. On a UGX 50,000 ticket that is UGX 1,950, so the runner pays UGX 51,950 and the organizer receives UGX 50,000.
Nothing at all. A free event pays no flat fee and no percentage, because there is nothing to take a cut of.
No. Payment processing is absorbed by Laces out of the service fee, so it is never billed to the organizer or itemised to the runner. One fee line, disclosed before the money moves.
