The Rodando Driver app includes a wallet system to help you track your earnings, manage payments, and view transaction history. This guide explains how the wallet works and how to handle different payment methods.

​
Understanding Your Driver Wallet

Your driver wallet is a centralized place to:
  • Track total earnings from completed trips
  • Monitor pending payments
  • View transaction history
  • Manage cash vs. digital payment collections
  • Request payouts to your bank account
The wallet reflects your earnings balance, not necessarily cash in hand. Cash payments are collected directly from passengers, while digital payments are credited to your wallet.

​
Accessing Your Wallet

To view your wallet:
1

Open Sidebar Menu

Tap the menu icon (☰) or swipe from the left edge to open the navigation sidebar.
2

Select Wallet

Navigate to the Wallet section in the sidebar menu.
3

View Wallet Dashboard

The wallet screen displays your current balance, recent transactions, and payment options.
The wallet component is located at:
  • Component: src/app/features/sidebar/wallet/wallet.component.ts
  • Route: Likely /wallet or /sidebar/wallet

​
Payment Modes

Rodando supports two primary payment modes for trips:

​
Cash Payments

Cash (Efectivo)

Passengers pay you directly in cash at the end of the trip.How it works:
  • Trip offer shows payment mode as “Efectivo” (💵 icon)
  • You collect the exact fare amount in cash from the passenger
  • You keep the cash immediately
  • Transaction is recorded in your trip history
  • Commission may be deducted from future digital payments or payouts

​
Handling Cash Trips

When completing a cash trip:
1

Confirm Total Amount

At trip completion, the app shows a confirmation modal with:
  • Base fare
  • Any waiting time charges
  • Final total to collect
  • Payment mode indicator (Cash)
2

Collect Payment

Collect the exact amount shown from the passenger. From trip.facade.ts:387-494, the modal displays:
{
  passengerName: "John Doe",
  base: 50.00,
  waitingExtra: 5.00,
  total: 55.00,
  currency: "CUP",
  paymentMode: "cash"
}
3

Confirm Collection

After collecting the cash, confirm in the app by tapping the confirm button in the modal. This:
  • Marks the trip as completed
  • Records the payment in your history
  • Returns you to available status
Always carry small bills for making change. Passengers may not have exact amounts.

​
Digital Payments

Digital Payment

Passengers pay through the app using credit/debit cards, mobile wallets, or other digital methods.How it works:
  • Payment is processed automatically through the app
  • Funds are added to your driver wallet
  • You don’t handle cash
  • Commission is automatically deducted
  • Available for payout according to your payout schedule
Currently, the codebase primarily references cash payments (“Efectivo”). Digital payment integration may be in development or configured per region.

​
Trip Fare Components

When you complete a trip, the total fare consists of:

​
Base Fare

Calculated from:
  • Distance traveled (per kilometer rate)
  • Time duration (per minute rate)
  • Base rate (minimum fare)
  • Demand multiplier (surge pricing, if applicable)
From trip.facade.ts:227-239: 
const baseFare = 
  typeof trip.fareEstimatedTotal === 'number'
    ? trip.fareEstimatedTotal
    : typeof trip.fareFinalTotal === 'number'
    ? trip.fareFinalTotal
    : null;

const currency = 
  trip.fareFinalCurrency ?? 
  trip.fareEstimatedCurrency ?? 
  'CUP';

​
Waiting Time Charges

If you wait for the passenger at the pickup location beyond a grace period:
1

Grace Period

Passengers typically have 2-5 minutes to reach the vehicle after you arrive.
2

Waiting Timer Starts

After you mark “Arrived at Pickup”, a waiting timer begins counting:
// From trip.facade.ts:533-563
this.waitingTimerSub = interval(1000).subscribe(() => {
  this.store.tickWaiting(1);
  
  // After threshold (e.g., 5 seconds in demo, typically 5+ minutes)
  if (s2.waitingSeconds >= threshold && !s2.waitingPenaltyApplied) {
    const base = s2.baseFare ?? 0;
    const extra = Math.max(1, Math.round(base * 0.05)); // 5%
    this.store.applyWaitingPenalty(extra, "Waiting charge applied");
  }
});
3

Penalty Applied

A waiting charge (typically percentage of base fare or per-minute rate) is automatically added to the trip total.
Waiting charges only apply if the passenger is late. Don’t mark “Arrived” until you’re actually at the pickup location.

​
Extra Fees

Additional charges may include:
  • Tolls or parking fees (if supported)
  • Special handling (oversized luggage, etc.)
  • Route changes requested by passenger
  • Other approved extra charges

​
Completing Trips and Confirming Payment

When you complete a trip, a confirmation modal appears:

​
Completion Flow

From trip.facade.ts:387-494:
1

Tap Complete Trip

When you reach the destination and the passenger exits, tap the “Complete Trip” button.
2

Review Confirmation Modal

A modal opens showing:
  • Passenger name
  • Origin and destination addresses
  • Distance and duration
  • Base fare
  • Waiting charges (if applicable)
  • Final total amount
  • Payment mode (Cash or Digital)
  • Currency (e.g., CUP)
const modal = await this.modalCtrl.create({
  component: DriverConfirmOrderModalComponent,
  componentProps: {
    passengerName,
    originLabel: m.originLabel,
    destinationLabel: m.destinationLabel,
    distanceText: m.distanceText,
    durationText: m.durationText,
    base,
    waitingExtra: extra || null,
    total: finalTotal,
    currency: cur,
    paymentMode: trip?.paymentMode ?? 'cash',
  }
});
3

Confirm Payment Collection

After collecting payment (cash) or verifying digital payment processing, tap the “Confirm” button.
4

Trip Finalizes

The system:
  • Calls completeTrip(tripId, payload) API
  • Updates trip status to “completed”
  • Records payment in transaction history
  • Updates your earnings (wallet for digital, trip history for cash)
  • Returns you to available status
If you cancel the confirmation modal without confirming, the trip remains in “in_progress” state and doesn’t finalize.

​
Transaction History

Your wallet includes a transaction history showing:
  • Completed Trips: Each trip with fare breakdown
  • Waiting Charges: Extra fees from passenger delays
  • Payouts: Transfers to your bank account
  • Adjustments: Refunds, bonuses, or corrections
  • Commission Deductions: Platform fees taken from earnings

​
Viewing Transaction Details

For each transaction, you can typically view:
  • Date and time
  • Trip ID or transaction ID
  • Passenger name (for trips)
  • Amount earned
  • Payment method
  • Commission deducted
  • Net earning

​
Payout Management

​
Requesting Payouts

To transfer your wallet balance to your bank account:
1

Minimum Balance

Ensure you have at least the minimum payout amount (varies by region).
2

Bank Account Linked

Verify your bank account is connected and verified in settings.
3

Request Payout

Tap the “Request Payout” or “Withdraw” button in the wallet screen.
4

Confirm Details

Review the payout amount, bank account, and expected transfer date.
5

Process Time

Payouts typically process within 1-3 business days, depending on your bank.
Schedule regular automatic payouts (weekly, bi-weekly) to avoid manually requesting transfers.

​
Fare Breakdown Example

Here’s how a typical trip fare is calculated: 
Base Fare Components:
  Distance: 8 km × $5/km = $40.00
  Time: 15 min × $1/min = $15.00
  Base rate (minimum): $10.00
  Subtotal (highest): $40.00

Additional Charges:
  Waiting time: 7 minutes = $5.00

Gross Total: $45.00

Passenger pays: $45.00 (cash or digital)

Driver receives:
  Gross: $45.00
  Platform commission (20%): -$9.00
  Net earnings: $36.00
Commission rates vary by region, vehicle type, and driver status (new vs. experienced).

​
Best Practices

Track Cash Carefully

Keep a daily log of cash collected to reconcile with app records and ensure accurate accounting.

Regular Payouts

Transfer digital earnings regularly to minimize risk and maintain cash flow.

Verify Amounts

Always double-check the total before collecting payment from passengers.

Keep Change

Carry sufficient small bills and coins to make change for cash passengers.

​
Troubleshooting

This can happen if:
  • Some trips are still processing (pending status)
  • Commission calculations differ from expectations
  • Adjustments or refunds were applied
  • Cash trips aren’t included in wallet (only digital)
Review your transaction history for each trip and contact support if discrepancies persist.
Common causes:
  • Below minimum payout threshold
  • Bank account not verified
  • Insufficient funds after pending deductions
  • Invalid bank account information
Check bank account settings and ensure verification is complete.
The payment mode is set when the passenger books the trip. If it shows incorrectly:
  • This is likely a backend data issue
  • Contact support to report the discrepancy
  • Do NOT collect payment in a different mode than shown
  • The modal always shows trip?.paymentMode ?? 'cash' as fallback
Waiting charges are applied automatically when:
  • You mark “Arrived at Pickup”
  • Waiting time exceeds the grace period threshold
  • The penalty calculation completes
If you waited but no charge appears, ensure you properly marked arrival. Manual adjustments may require support contact.
