Setting up fleet payments allows your fleet to accept credit card payments from riders through Meter Pay.
Step 1: Connect Your Meter Pay Account
Go to your Fleet Settings.
Navigate to the Payments section.
Click "Connect" to begin the Meter Pay onboarding process.
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. You can set a fleet-wide default and also override the payout share for individual drivers from the Fleet Payments page — per-driver overrides take precedence over the fleet default when earnings are calculated.
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.
Terminal Payments
Terminal payments allow drivers to accept in-person card payments using a card reader connected to the Meter app. Terminal payments are supported in the following currencies:
USD — for US-based fleets
EUR — for European fleets
NZD — for New Zealand fleets
CAD — for Canadian fleets
Non-US fleets using terminal payments must have either 100% or 0% driver payout. When driver payout is 0%, the terminal charge is routed to the fleet owner's Stripe account. Split payouts (for example, 50%) are not supported for non-US terminal payments. Each driver must have a connected Meter Pay account with card payment capability.
If your fleet operates in a country or currency not listed above, terminal payments are not available. Use Web Link Payments instead.
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 — 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 — no manual action is needed.
