How Platform Fees Support Distance-Based Matching

The 30 percent commission covers the systems that handle escrow payments and connect senders with drivers on existing routes.

The Visible Commission in Every Transaction

The platform shows the full 30 percent commission before any booking is confirmed. This amount is taken from the total price paid by the sender into escrow. The remaining 70 percent goes to the driver only after the sender confirms delivery.

Distance-based pricing starts at a €9 minimum. The fee structure remains the same regardless of parcel size or route length.

What the Commission Covers

The commission maintains the escrow system that holds funds until confirmation. It also supports the matching process that links senders to drivers already travelling the required route.

Drivers see the exact split before accepting a job. Senders see the total cost including commission at the point of posting.

  • Escrow management ensures payment is secure until both parties complete the handover.
  • Route matching uses current driver journeys to avoid unnecessary travel.
  • Confirmation tools allow senders to release funds only after receipt.

Practical Steps for Senders

When posting a parcel, review the distance-based quote that includes the transparent 30 percent commission. Choose time windows that align with common driver routes to keep costs down.

Small businesses can use the same system for regular shipments by setting recurring route preferences. This reduces the need for separate courier bookings.

Practical Steps for Drivers

Accept jobs only when the 70 percent payout covers fuel and time for the added stop. Confirm delivery details through the platform to trigger release of funds from escrow.

Track accepted routes to plan future availability around high-demand corridors. The minimum €9 price ensures even short additions to an existing journey remain worthwhile.

Common Questions on Fee Use

The commission does not change based on parcel weight or urgency. It stays fixed at 30 percent of the agreed price. All transactions use the same escrow flow from sender payment to driver payout after confirmation.
