    Payment capture & authorization with PDF receipts

    Pre-authorise the fare at booking, capture the final amount on trip completion, and email a branded PDF receipt automatically. Stripe + Wise, refund in one click.

    How it works

    Pre-authorise the estimated fare on the passenger's card at booking, capture the actual final amount when the trip completes, then auto-email a branded PDF receipt with the full breakdown. Refunds are one click, corporate POs roll into monthly invoices, and 3D Secure 2 keeps chargebacks below 0.05% of gross volume.

    Built for real fleet payment flows

    Pre-authorise at booking

    Ring-fence the estimated fare on the passenger's card the moment they book. Zero chargeback exposure on no-shows.

    Capture on completion

    Charge the actual final fare — including waiting time, extras, tolls and tips — the second the trip ends.

    Branded PDF receipt

    Auto-generated PDF with your logo, fare breakdown, VAT, driver details and trip map. Emailed the moment payment settles.

    One-click refunds

    Full or partial refund from the dispatch console. Refund receipt PDF re-issued automatically, GDPR-compliant audit log kept.

    Corporate PO on invoice

    Corporate bookings roll into monthly consolidated invoices with PO numbers, cost centres and VAT — one PDF per client, per month.

    Delayed capture window

    Configurable auth window (default 7 days) for pre-booked airport transfers. Capture triggers on trip complete or expires cleanly.

    Booking → capture → PDF, in four steps

    Every step happens automatically — no dispatcher work, no chase-ups, no manual receipts.

    1

    Booking made

    Passenger books online or via the app. Stripe pre-authorises the estimated fare instantly — no charge yet.

    2

    Trip in progress

    Driver accepts and completes the trip. Final fare calculated (base + waiting + extras + tolls − discount).

    3

    Capture triggered

    Trip complete → capture runs against the pre-auth. 3DS liability shift already applied. Success in <2 seconds.

    4

    PDF receipt emailed

    Branded PDF generated (logo, breakdown, VAT, driver, map) and emailed to the passenger. Corporate PO goes to accounts.

    Why pre-authorisation + PDF receipts matter

    Chargebacks fall below 0.05%. Pre-auth combined with 3D Secure 2 shifts chargeback liability to the card issuer for most dispute categories. Combined with driver photo evidence at pickup, fleet chargeback rates typically drop from 0.5-1.2% to below 0.05% of gross volume — worth $5,000-$25,000/year on a mid-size fleet.

    No-shows are pre-paid. When the fare is already authorised on the card, no-shows either release the auth cleanly (customer cancelled inside the window) or convert to a captured cancellation fee. Either way the dispatcher isn't chasing money.

    PDF receipts unlock corporate contracts. Corporate travel bookers require a branded PDF receipt per trip with VAT breakdown, cost centre and PO number — plus a monthly consolidated invoice. This is the single feature that makes or breaks corporate account applications.

    Zero manual work. The dispatcher sees "paid" against the booking automatically. The passenger has a receipt in their inbox before they step out of the vehicle. Accounts export a Stripe reconciliation report at month-end and every fare is already matched to a booking.

    • Chargebacks under 0.05% of gross volume
    • No-show revenue recovered as cancellation fees
    • Corporate accounts unlock (branded PDF + PO + VAT)
    • Zero dispatcher time on payment reconciliation
    Payments FAQ

    Payment capture & PDF receipt questions

    The system captures the pre-authorised amount and creates a separate secondary charge for the difference (waiting time, extras, tolls). Both appear on the same PDF receipt with a clear breakdown.

    Default 7 days, configurable up to 28 days on Stripe. If the trip doesn't complete in that window the auth is auto-cancelled and the customer's card is released.

    Yes — configure a fixed deposit amount or a percentage of the estimated fare. Common for long-distance and executive bookings.

    Wise is post-pay only — the customer receives the payment link on booking confirmation with a due-by date. On payment received, the PDF receipt is issued automatically.

    3DS 2 is enforced on all card pre-authorisations above $50 (or local threshold). Liability shift applies for most chargeback dispute categories, dramatically reducing loss rates.

    Yes — one click from the passenger record or dispatch console. Historic receipts remain available for 24 months for GDPR compliance.

    Yes — VAT rate configurable per market, VAT number printed on receipt, VAT-exclusive and VAT-inclusive totals both shown. Compliant with UK, EU, AU and NZ requirements.

    Pre-auth + capture + basic PDF receipt: yes. Corporate consolidated invoicing and delayed-capture windows require the $8,500 enterprise upgrade.
