Cloudathlete: The Only Sports Platform with Open, Commission-Free Payments
Payments should empower sport – not erode it. Yet, across the sports tech landscape, many platforms take a hidden cut of every transaction that flows through them. These “processing fees” often mask commissions charged on standard Stripe or similar payments, diverting funds that should go directly to clubs, members, and development programmes.
Cloudathlete changes that.
We’ve built a fully open payment architecture that allows sports organisations to integrate directly with multiple leading payment gateways, including Stripe, QuickPay, MobilePay, PayPal, and GoCardless, among others. Unlike other systems, Cloudathlete takes no commission, no hidden fees, and no share of your revenue.
Freedom to choose, power to save
Our open model means you’re free to select the provider that offers the best rates and service for your region or audience. Whether that’s Stripe for global coverage, QuickPay for the Nordics, or GoCardless for direct debit management, Cloudathlete connects seamlessly – keeping you in control.
Direct funds, faster reconciliation
With Cloudathlete, payments are deposited directly into your organisation’s accounts, not held or delayed by intermediaries. Our integrated finance module provides instant visibility over transactions, automated reconciliation, and easy exports for accounting or audit purposes.
Transparency by design
Every element of Cloudathlete’s financial infrastructure is built around openness. You retain ownership of your payment relationships, pricing, and data. The result? Lower costs, faster settlements, and greater confidence in how your money moves.
Built for modern sport
From national governing bodies to local clubs, Cloudathlete gives every organisation the ability to collect payments, manage finances, and report accurately – all within a single secure environment. Our multi-gateway, commission-free approach ensures that every penny raised goes where it belongs: back into sport.
“It’s your money. You earned it. You decide how it’s collected.”
Cloudathlete – the only sports operating system that keeps sport’s money in sport.
