How to Set Up Fleet Payments

Written by Jonathan Osacky

Setting up fleet payments allows your fleet to accept credit card payments from riders through Meter Pay.

Step 1: Connect Your Meter Pay Account

  1. Go to your Fleet Settings.

  2. Navigate to the Payments section.

  3. Click "Connect" to begin the Meter Pay onboarding process.

  4. Follow the prompts to verify your identity and bank account.

Step 2: Configure Payment Settings

Once connected, configure your payment preferences:

  • Enable/disable automatic payouts

  • Set payout schedule (daily, weekly, monthly)

  • Configure revenue sharing percentages for drivers

Step 3: Driver Payment Setup

Each driver in your fleet needs to complete their own Meter Pay onboarding to receive payouts. They can do this through the app settings.

How Tips Work with Fleet Payments

Tips always go directly to the driver in full. When a fleet has revenue sharing enabled, only the base fare is split between the driver and fleet β€” tips are never included in the revenue share. This means drivers always keep 100% of their tips (minus standard processing fees).

Important: Payments Before Meter Pay Setup

Rider payments can be processed even before the fleet owner has completed Meter Pay onboarding. When a rider pays for a trip and the fleet owner's Meter Pay account is not yet active, the driver's share is transferred immediately while the fleet owner's share is held as an incomplete transfer. These incomplete transfers are automatically reconciled once the fleet owner completes Meter Pay setup β€” no manual action is needed.
