Organizers we work with
Ways participants pay
Participants pay with the method they already use, and every entry lands in the same balance you withdraw from.
One platform
Everything you need to organize your events in one place
Registrations
Easy Registrations
Make registration effortless for your participants. No accounts, no sign-ups, no friction — just a simple registration experience that confirms every entry instantly and keeps your participant data up to date in real time.
Payments
Seamless Payments
Collect registration fees through Mobile Money across East and West Africa. Give participants a convenient way to pay from one secure registration page, with every payment recorded automatically.
Payouts
Instant Payouts
Access your event revenue as soon as participants pay. MTN mobile money is withdrawable instantly, to any network or bank of your choice, any day of the week — no settlement wait at all. Airtel Money and card entries clear a little differently: they become available in your Standard Wallet once our payment partner settles them, and from there mobile-money withdrawals are instant while bank withdrawals take three to five business days.
Dashboard
Real-Time Event Management
Run your event from one powerful organizer dashboard. Track registrations, payments, participants and payouts in real time, receive instant notifications for every activity, and stay on top of your event from anywhere.
Communication
Automated Receipts & Emails
Keep every participant informed automatically. Registration confirmations, payment receipts and important event updates are delivered straight to their inbox, giving participants a clear record of every transaction.
From registration and payments to participant management, communication and payouts, Laces brings the essential tools for running a successful event together in one platform.
Your money
Cash out the moment someone pays
You are not waiting on a payout cycle, a settlement window or the end of your event. Every registration is credited to your Total Earnings as it is confirmed, and it is yours to withdraw straight away: any day of the week, including weekends.
- Every payment is confirmed and credited to you as it happens
- Withdraw to a bank account or straight to mobile money
- Weekends included, so a Saturday event pays out on Saturday
Your first withdrawal is free. After that the payment provider's standard transfer charge applies, see the full rates.

app.laces.runHow it works
Four steps, and you have been paid
- 01
Create your event
Choose what kind of event it is (a race, a ride, a swim, a conference, a concert, a workshop or something else), then set your ticket types, sign-up questions, pricing and pickup details. Ready-made templates can fill much of it in for you.
- 02
Share the link
Publish and share one link. Participants discover the event, pick their ticket, register and pay from their phone: the mobile-money prompt happens right on the page, and the entry confirms in real time.
- 03
Run the day
Check in registered participants, hand out bibs, wristbands or event kits, take cash at the desk and watch stock drop per pickup point. Every collection is recorded as it happens.
- 04
Withdraw instantly
You are not waiting for the event to end or for a payout cycle to come round. Every mobile-money payment lands in your Instant Wallet as it is confirmed and is yours to withdraw straight away, to a bank account or mobile money, any day of the week including weekends. Your first withdrawal is free.

Questions organizers actually ask
Nothing to start, nothing monthly, nothing to list. Our standard rate is UGX 500 + 2.9% on MTN mobile money, UGX 500 + 5% on Airtel Money, and comes off successful orders only — free events pay nothing at all.
Instantly, on MTN mobile money. Every MTN entry is credited to your Instant Wallet the moment the payment is confirmed and is yours to withdraw straight away, to a Ugandan bank account or to mobile money, any day of the week including weekends. There is no settlement wait, no payout cycle and no waiting for the event to finish. Airtel Money entries clear a little differently: they settle into your Standard Wallet, usually within about a day and a half, after which withdrawing to mobile money is instant and withdrawing to a bank takes three to five business days (weekends excluded). Your first withdrawal is free.
Yes. A mobile-money payment is confirmed within seconds and your Total Earnings updates as it happens, so you can watch entries and money arrive live while registration is open. Nothing is held back until the event is over — MTN entries are available to withdraw immediately, from your Instant Wallet. Airtel Money entries show up just as fast, but sit under what is still clearing in your Standard Wallet until our payment partner settles them, usually within about a day and a half. Withdrawing is a single tap from either wallet, and how quickly the transfer lands after that is down to your bank or mobile-money provider.
No, and there is no laptop version to miss out on. Everything an organizer does happens in the app: create and publish the event, take payments, run check-in, read the money, export your data.
Register them at the desk and take the cash. Their ticket is emailed to them, and the order code shows on screen straight away: they can pull it up any time at laces.run/o/{order_code}. They appear in the same manifest, so check-in still works for them.
Keep it and point registrations at your Laces page, or move the whole thing over and put your own domain in front of it.
