Full transparency

The money map

Who pays whom in the network — industry-typical ranges, disclosed in the open. TripTender never sets or touches these rates; the platform records them, settles them, and charges only its published micro-fees.

How money moves
FlowTypical range
Farm-out — ride given to a partner operator Performing operator typically receives 80–90% of retail; the booking company keeps 10–20% — negotiated between the operators.
Booking sent by an agent — travel agent, event planner, hotel or concierge The operator pays the agent 10–20% commission (10% is typical) — negotiated.
Agent → affiliate agent, for confirmed AND completed reservations Flat-fee or % — entirely the paying agent's choice; TripTender settles both models. Canceled or no-show reservations pay nothing.
Network micro-fees $0.50 per side on farm-outs; 1% of commission capped $0.50 on agent payouts — published, flat.
Subscriptions / per-ride fees Per the tier cards above — published, flat.

Your commercial relationships are yours — we don't set them and we don't skim them. We record them, settle them, and charge only the published fees.

Operator payments

TripTender Payments is the default at every tier — no merchant-account wait, no gateway paperwork.

On platform rails

Farm-out splits, agent payouts, and fee netting work out of the box — the whole money map, settled for you.

No commission on your rides — ever. Payment processing is passed through at cost plus a small margin.

Bring your own gateway

Supported, unpromoted. One consequence to know: with your own gateway, network fees are invoiced monthly in arrears instead of netting automatically from settlement.

Billing policy

Change your mind without a phone call.

Upgrade

One click, in-place, prorated — all data and settings kept.

Downgrade

Effective at next renewal; the platform walks you through resolving anything above the lower tier's limits.

Cancel

Monthly plans cancel anytime — service runs to the end of the paid period. Annual plans cancel effective at term end; the first 30 days of the first annual term carry a full refund. Owner-Operator has nothing to cancel — stop anytime.

NO CONTRACTS · NO SETUP FEES · NO CANCELLATION FEES

FAQ

What counts as a metro?

A metro is one metropolitan service area — a city plus its surrounding suburbs — as mapped in TripTender's coverage directory (e.g., Orlando, Miami, Tampa). Your included metros are the areas where you dispatch; add-on metros unlock more.
