# Categories and fees

> Configure distances, prices, pricing schedule, and age groups.

## Categories

Categories are configured from **Settings → Forms**, in the draggable "Category" field of the basic questions section. This opens the **Configure Categories** modal.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose the categorization type">
    Choose one of the two, they are mutually exclusive (you can't combine them in the same field):

    * **By Gender:** classifies each participant according to one of these options: Male, Female, Mixed, Other, or Open (no restriction).
    * **By Age:** define rows with Minimum Age, Maximum Age, and Category Name (for example, "JUNIOR" 15-19). The system automatically calculates which one each athlete falls into based on their date of birth.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the application mode">
    * **Same categories for all fees** (default), or
    * **Customize categories per fee**, to mark which categories are available in each specific fee.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the configuration">
    Click **Save Configuration**.

</Steps>

## Pricing schedule

You can configure **fees by period** to encourage early registrations. Each tier has a start date, end date, and price, with a **name you define**.

| Phase (free-form name, example) | Example                                 |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Presale**                     | €80 until 09/30                         |
| **Regular**                     | €100 from 10/01 to 11/15                |
| **Last minute**                 | €120 from 11/16 to the day of the event |

<Note>
  The system forces the currency to **euros (EUR)** for all fees, regardless of the event's country.
</Note>

### Configure fees

1. In the event panel, go to **Settings → Fees**.
2. Add each phase with: name, start date, end date, and price.
3. Define the **maximum capacity for that fee** (actual capacity is controlled per fee, not per category).
4. Save. The system will automatically apply the current price at the time of registration.

Here's how they look once configured: each fee (for example "OCEANMAN 10 KM") groups its own date and price tiers.

## Taxes

Prices can be shown **with or without taxes included**, depending on your event's tax settings. The platform commission is deducted at the time of settlement. See [Finances and settlement](/en/roles/organizador/finanzas-liquidacion).
