IMPORTANT POINTS
Carnival organisers MUST have an organisation page of Liveheats with director access
All carnival organisers MUST have their bank accounts linked to Liveheats. To connect the relevant bank account, follow these instructions
Club, branch, state or national organisers will set up their carnivals on their own Liveheats pages
This is where the entry fee and events eligibility criteria will be loaded, such as proficiency, award, patrol hour checks, etc.
Before 29th September 2025, event organisers must contact Liveheats to action (3.) above; after this, it will be a self-service system

The transaction fees are:
Liveheats = 4%
Stripe = 1.7% + 30c each transaction
Total = 5.7% + 30c each transaction
Case study:
The cost to enter an athlete at a carnival is $50
Liveheats' fee would be ($2), and the Stripe Fee would be ($1.13)
Total = $ 3.13
If you are required to charge GST, this would also be taken out of the $50 entry fee.
Please factor these costs into your pricing.

So long as your event is set to "Entry Open" you will be able to take entries; however, draws, results, and progressions will not be publicly displayed.
Once you mark the event as "Live" entries will have to be done offline, and athletes manually added to their respective races. E.g. Open Male Board Race, Open Male Ski Race etc.
We recommend having a card machine on hand to take payments for these entries.
