HOW PAYOUTS WORK

From customer's card to your bank.

Every transaction flows through Stripe Connect. Here's the lifecycle of a single delivery's payment, in three steps.

STEP 01

Pre-Authorization

When the customer confirms their order, the platform pre-authorizes the order total on their card. The funds are reserved but not yet captured. If the final delivery is less than ordered, the difference is released back to the card.

STEP 02

Final Charge at Delivery

When the driver completes the delivery and logs the actual gallons pumped, the final charge is captured. The customer is charged for what they received — never more, sometimes less.

STEP 03

Funds Land in Your Bank

On Stripe's standard payout schedule — typically 2 business days for new accounts, faster as you build account history. Your payout is fuel revenue + delivery fee, minus Stripe processing. 100% of tips go to drivers.

PRICING FAQ

Questions about the money.

Is the 4% platform fee really paid by the customer?
Yes. The 4% is added to the customer's checkout total, capped at $30 per order. It's a separate line item in the customer's receipt. It does not come out of your fuel revenue or your delivery fee. Your payout is your fuel revenue + your delivery fee, minus standard Stripe processing.
What's the $30 cap really mean in practice?
If a customer's order subtotal is small enough that 4% comes to less than $30 (so any order under $750), they pay the full 4%. If the order is large enough that 4% would exceed $30 (orders over $750), the platform fee stops scaling and locks at $30. This makes big fleet refuels and bulk equipment fueling much more attractive to your commercial customers.
Why $19/month per additional driver?
It covers their seat on the platform — driver app license, dispatch routing slot, Stripe Connect sub-account, GPS infrastructure for proof of delivery, and ongoing platform support. Flat fee, predictable, no surprise overages. You can add and remove drivers anytime from your dashboard.
What if I cancel a transaction or refund a customer?
Refunds work the same as any Stripe transaction. The platform fee and Stripe processing fees are refunded along with the customer's payment. There are no penalty fees for issuing refunds — you handle customer service the way you'd handle it at any business.
How does Stripe processing get calculated exactly?
Standard Stripe rate is 2.9% + $0.30 per successful card charge. It's deducted from your payout per transaction, not bundled with the platform fee. You'll see it broken out clearly on your Stripe dashboard. International cards or high-risk transactions may have slightly different rates per Stripe's standard policy.
When do I actually get paid?
Stripe's standard payout schedule — typically 2 business days for new Stripe accounts in the United States, faster as you build account history (down to next-business-day for established accounts). You can see your payout schedule and history anytime in your Stripe Connect dashboard, which you access from your Fuel Taxi merchant dashboard.
Do I have to pay anything to apply or get approved?
No. Applying is free. Getting approved is free. Setting up your store is free. Running test orders is free. Going live is free. There is no point in the onboarding flow where money leaves your pocket — your first dollar spent on the platform is the Stripe processing on your first paid delivery.
What if I want to leave the platform?
You leave. No exit fee, no penalty, no stalling. Export your customer list, cancel your account, walk. Fuel Taxi is month-to-month — if we don't earn your business, you shouldn't have to stay.
