Escrow Security for Senders and Drivers on Existing Routes

Payment Flow from Sender to Driver

Senders place funds into escrow at the moment of posting a delivery. The amount covers the agreed price based on distance, with a €9 minimum. This holds the money securely until the driver completes the route and the sender confirms receipt.

Drivers see the full amount upfront but receive only 70 percent once confirmation is given. The remaining 30 percent stays with the platform as commission, shown clearly during booking.

Protection for Senders

• Funds remain unavailable to the driver until the sender marks the parcel delivered.
• If issues arise, the sender retains control over release and can withhold confirmation.
• Distance-based pricing stays fixed, avoiding surprise charges after the job starts.

Short paragraphs help small businesses plan cash flow. The escrow step removes the need to pay cash on collection or worry about non-delivery after transfer.

Protection for Drivers

• Verified status and route matching reduce wasted travel.
• Payment is guaranteed after successful hand-over and confirmation.
• The 70 percent share is released automatically on sender approval, with no separate invoicing required.

Drivers already travelling the route carry the item without extra fuel or time costs. Escrow ensures they are not left unpaid after completing the agreed kilometres.

Practical Steps in a Typical Job

1. Sender posts details and pays into escrow.
2. Driver accepts based on existing journey.
3. Item is collected and carried along the planned path.
4. Sender inspects and confirms delivery.
5. Driver receives 70 percent; platform retains 30 percent.

This sequence applies to everyday parcels and works for small businesses sending stock between locations. No additional verification beyond the platform process is needed.

Common Scenarios for Both Parties

A sender in one city needs an item moved to another. A driver passing through accepts the job. Escrow prevents the sender from losing money if the driver fails to arrive, and it prevents the driver from completing work without pay.

Small businesses benefit when multiple deliveries share the same route. Each transaction follows the same escrow rules, keeping records clear for accounting.

Drivers gain steady supplementary income on journeys they make anyway. The transparent split means they always know their net return before accepting.

Record Keeping and Confirmation

Confirmation is recorded on the platform. Both parties can view the status at any time. This log supports any later questions without external evidence.

The model stays consistent across all distance-based jobs above the €9 floor. Senders and drivers operate with the same rules whether the parcel is small or the route spans several regions.
