From starter tariff to paid trip.

Create one editable local tariff

Market setup helps you create a starter tariff from a country or city estimate. Treat it as a starting point, then verify and edit the rates for your local rules before commercial use.

  • Choose country and city
  • Review the starter fare preview
  • Create the tariff, then edit it

  • Rates belong to the tariff
  • Short code appears on the meter tariff button
  • Only one active tariff runs the meter

  • Stop ends the ride and opens payment
  • Pause suspends the active trip
  • Automatic waiting can switch status when stopped
