How the Fixed Commission Supports the Delivery Model

The 30 percent platform fee covers the escrow system, verification processes and transparent matching between senders and drivers.

The Core Payment Flow

Senders place funds into escrow before a driver accepts the job. This amount is calculated on a distance basis with a €9 minimum. The platform displays the full price including the 30 percent commission from the outset.

Once the sender confirms successful delivery the driver receives 70 percent. The remaining portion stays with the platform. This split is shown clearly on every posting.

Role of Escrow in Transactions

Escrow protects both parties by holding payment until confirmation occurs. Drivers do not receive funds until the sender verifies the parcel has arrived. This step reduces disputes over non-delivery.

The commission portion maintains the escrow mechanism and the verification steps required for drivers to join the platform. Senders see the exact breakdown before committing to a job.

Distance-Based Calculation

Pricing reflects the actual distance of the route. Short urban deliveries start at the €9 floor while longer European journeys scale accordingly. The commission remains 30 percent of this total irrespective of length.

Transparent display of the fee allows senders and drivers to understand the final amounts. No additional charges appear after acceptance.

Matching and Verification Support

The platform connects senders with verified drivers already travelling the route. The commission funds the systems that maintain driver verification and route matching tools.

Senders post details and drivers select jobs that align with their plans. Confirmation of delivery releases the 70 percent share automatically.

Benefits of Fixed Structure

  • Clear upfront pricing for all users
  • Escrow holding until sender confirmation
  • Consistent 70/30 division on every delivery
  • Distance-based totals with stated minimum

Small businesses and individual senders benefit from knowing the full cost before posting. Drivers understand their net earnings from the moment they accept a job.

The model avoids hidden fees by presenting the commission separately. This transparency applies across all European routes covered by the marketplace.

Practical Implications for Users

Drivers planning multiple deliveries can calculate expected income after the fixed commission. Senders compare total prices including the platform share when choosing among available drivers.

The structure supports the peer-to-peer nature of the service where drivers use existing travel. No separate logistics contracts are required. The commission remains the sole platform deduction shown on each transaction.
