FAQ
Common questions
How does pricing work?
Runners are free. Organizers pay 2.5% of each paid registration sold through their events on Barq Lane.
What about payment processing?
Runners check out through Amwalpay (Visa, Mastercard, OmanNet, mobile wallets), which settles into the organizer's own Amwalpay merchant account. The organizer holds that merchant account and its gateway rate is set in their agreement with Amwalpay. Barq Lane's 2.5% is separate and is invoiced to the organizer.
How do I see what an event made?
The Finance dashboard shows gross revenue, refunds, the platform fee and net per event, updating as registrations come in.
How are refunds handled?
Organizers run refunds from the participant console — full, partial, or category-change. The refund is settled from the organizer's own Amwalpay account, and the Finance dashboard reflects it against that event's revenue. The 2.5% platform fee is charged on the original transaction and is not refunded.
What counts as a paid registration?
Any registration where the runner pays a non-zero amount through Barq Lane. Free entries, comp codes, and waitlist holds don't incur a platform fee.
