Platform Fee Role in Escrow and Matching

Fee Structure Overview

The platform applies a 30 percent commission on each transaction. This amount is shown transparently to senders before payment. The remaining 70 percent goes to the driver once delivery is confirmed. A minimum price of €9 applies to all deliveries, calculated on a distance basis.

Senders pay the full amount into escrow at the time of posting. This holds the funds until the sender confirms receipt. The commission portion supports the platform services that enable the escrow process and route matching between senders and verified drivers.

Breakdown of Commission Use

The 30 percent covers the costs of maintaining the escrow system. This includes secure holding of funds and release only after confirmation. It also funds the verification of drivers who use existing routes.

Matching occurs based on routes already being travelled. The platform connects senders with drivers on the same path. Distance-based pricing ensures the fee scales with the journey length while remaining above the €9 minimum.

• Escrow management protects both parties until delivery confirmation.
• Route matching reduces empty travel by using journeys already planned.
• Verification checks ensure only approved drivers handle parcels.

Practical Impact for Senders and Drivers

Small businesses posting parcels see the full price including commission upfront. This allows clear budgeting for distance-based deliveries. Drivers receive their 70 percent share promptly after sender confirmation.

The model keeps all fees visible. No hidden charges apply beyond the stated 30 percent. Senders can compare total costs against traditional options by noting the distance calculation.

Steps in a Typical Transaction

1. Sender posts a delivery request with route and price details.
2. Platform matches with verified driver on similar path.
3. Full amount enters escrow, showing the 30 percent commission separately.
4. Driver completes carry using existing journey.
5. Sender confirms receipt and 70 percent releases to driver.

This process repeats for each delivery. The commission remains fixed at 30 percent regardless of parcel size or route, provided the €9 minimum is met.

The transparent display helps senders understand exactly what portion supports platform operations. Drivers benefit from clear payout terms tied to confirmation.
