Taximeter tariffs will enable an in-app taximeter in the driver app for calculating the price of the job.
To enable taximeter tariffs you must check the box “Enable the in-app taximeter” in the admin panel that you will find in settings>general>payment options.
The taximeter tariffs consist of two parts:
- Taximeter fare increment
- Taximeter
Taximeter fare increment
This option is only for display purposes.
It is the ratio at which the taximeter will display the increment to the bill in every 10 seconds.
As for example, if the “taximeter fare increment = 0.12”, it means the taximeter will display an increase of 0.12 cents each 10 seconds.

With this option, the taximeter will increase the amount of money you fill every certain time.
For example, 1 Euro for each 1000 m.
