Driver Settlement

Ride Booking → Settlement answers the weekly question every fleet has: after the cash fares he kept and the card fares you collected, who owes whom — and exactly how much? You pick a driver and a date range; the plugin pulls every dispatched trip, splits the money, applies your deductions, and produces one defensible number.

The money model

Every trip a driver runs falls into one of two buckets:

• Driver Collected (Pay-to-Driver) — cash/in-person fares. The driver already has this money in hand, so the settlement subtracts it from what you owe.
• Company Collected — online-paid trips (Stripe, Square, Authorize.Net). You have the money; the driver is owed their Driver Pay, the wage you record on each booking's detail page as trips complete.

Building a settlement

1. Pick the driver and date range. Leave the end date empty to settle a single day. The report renders live below as you type — every dispatched trip in range, already split into the two buckets.
2. Enter the adjustments. Dedicated fields for the usual suspects: ETR Transponder # (printed on the sheet), ETR 407 tolls, Cash Advance, Rent (vehicle lease), Previous Balance (carryover the driver still owes), Insurance, and Commission % — charged as a percentage of the company-collected amount.
3. Add custom lines. Free-form Add rows (bonuses, reimbursements — the screenshot's "Engine Oil") and Subtract rows (damage, parking fines) with your own labels.
4. Choose the report type. Detailed lists every trip with booking number, pickup, service, and payment method; Daily collapses to one row per day.
5. Create Settlement — saves an immutable snapshot with a settlement number (like STL-000031).

The calculation, in order

Driver Collected + Company Collected = Total Collected → minus Driver Collected (already in his pocket) → plus additions → minus commission, rent, ETR 407, insurance, cash advance, previous balance, and custom deductions → Net pay owed to driver.

The four summary tiles (Driver Collected, Company Collected, Total Collected, Net Pay) update live, and the Settlement Calculation card shows every line of that arithmetic — the same breakdown the driver sees on the printed sheet, so there's nothing to argue about.
