How the Platform Commission Supports Escrow and Matching

Escrow Handling and Payment Security

Senders pay the full amount up front into escrow before a driver accepts the parcel. This protects both parties until the sender confirms delivery. The platform holds the funds and releases 70 percent to the driver only after confirmation. The remaining 30 percent stays with the platform as its commission.

This process requires secure systems to manage payments and prevent disputes. Drivers receive payment only when the sender verifies receipt, reducing risk for small businesses posting parcels.

Driver Verification Steps

Verified drivers must complete checks before they can carry parcels on their existing routes. The commission contributes to maintaining these verification processes across Europe.

Senders benefit from knowing that only approved drivers can view and accept their delivery requests. The minimum price of nine euros ensures short distance-based jobs remain viable while covering platform costs.

Distance-Based Pricing Transparency

Prices are calculated according to distance. The full amount, including the 30 percent commission, appears clearly before the sender commits to escrow.

Small businesses can compare options without hidden charges. Drivers see the exact split: 70 percent of the agreed price goes to them upon successful confirmation.

Route Matching on Existing Journeys

The platform matches parcels to drivers already travelling the required route. This uses the commission to run the matching service that connects senders with suitable verified drivers.

No dedicated vehicles are needed. The system focuses on real journeys to keep costs predictable for both sides.

Practical Benefits for Users

• Senders gain protection through escrow until confirmation.
• Drivers receive 70 percent directly after delivery acceptance.
• All fees remain visible from the start, based on distance.
• The nine euro minimum applies to every job.

These elements rely on the 30 percent commission to operate the core functions of escrow, verification and matching without additional contracts or logistics overhead.
