What the 30 Percent Platform Fee Supports in Each Match

The transparent 30 percent commission funds escrow protection, driver verification and the matching process in the peer-to-peer model.

The transparent commission structure

Every delivery shows the full price upfront, including the 30 percent platform commission. Senders pay the total amount into escrow before a driver is matched. The driver receives 70 percent only after the sender confirms receipt. The commission remains fixed regardless of distance or parcel type.

Escrow handling and payment security

The platform holds funds in escrow until delivery confirmation. This protects both parties: senders know payment is secured, and drivers know release occurs automatically upon successful handover. The 30 percent portion covers the administrative systems that manage escrow accounts and release triggers.

Driver verification processes

All drivers undergo checks before accessing deliveries. The commission contributes to maintaining these verification records and ensuring only approved participants can carry parcels. This step reduces risk for senders posting items on the marketplace.

Matching senders with suitable drivers

The platform connects posted deliveries to drivers already travelling the required route. The fee supports the systems that display available parcels, filter by distance and time, and notify drivers of matches. Without this infrastructure, senders would need to arrange each delivery independently.

Platform maintenance and compliance

Operating across Europe requires ongoing updates to distance-based pricing tools, escrow interfaces and user accounts. The 30 percent allocation covers these technical and regulatory requirements so the marketplace remains functional for daily use.

Practical implications for users

  • Senders see the exact split before confirming a booking.
  • Drivers know their 70 percent payout is guaranteed once confirmation occurs.
  • The minimum nine euro price already incorporates the commission, so no hidden charges appear later.
  • Distance calculations remain consistent because the platform maintains the underlying tools.

How the fee appears in practice

When a sender posts a parcel, the displayed price includes both the driver share and the platform portion. After matching, the escrow process begins immediately. Upon successful delivery, the driver portion releases automatically while the commission stays with the platform for the services described.

Users benefit from a single transparent transaction rather than separate arrangements for payment security, verification and route matching. The model keeps all elements visible from the initial post through to final confirmation.
