Steps to Send an Invoice Before the Ride
1. Estimate the Trip Cost
Before sending an invoice, you need to estimate the fare based on the rider’s origin and destination:
Open the Meter app.
Go to the Rides tab.
Tap Estimate Trip.
Enter the Pickup Location and Destination.
Save the trip.
2. Create and Share a Payment Link
Once the trip is saved, follow these steps:
Tap Create Payment Link.
Review the estimated fare details.
Share the generated payment link with your rider via text, email, or any messaging app.
3. Rider Completes Payment
Your rider can click on the link and securely complete the payment before the ride starts. Once payment is confirmed, you can proceed with the trip.
