Marketplace flows: money lands in your account, not ours

Operators connect their own merchant account; Cabgo orchestrates the charge but never holds the funds. Two Connect-style integrations are live today.

S

Stripe Connect

Express + Standard accounts

  • Operator onboards via a Stripe-hosted flow; ID + bank verification happens entirely on Stripe.
  • Every charge is created on the operator's connected account using application_fee_amount for Cabgo's platform fee.
  • Payouts to the operator's bank account follow Stripe's default schedule (T+2 or daily, depending on country).
MP

Mercado Pago Marketplace

OAuth + split payments

  • Operator connects their Mercado Pago account via OAuth from the Cabgo dashboard — no API keys to copy.
  • Charges use the application_fee + collector_id pattern so funds land in the operator's wallet on the first payment.
  • Withdrawals to the operator's bank follow Mercado Pago's local payout cycle (varies by country: instant in AR/BR, T+1 in MX).

Frequently asked questions

  • The operator charges riders the trip price (a tariff the operator sets) and keeps 100%. Cabgo never touches that money. Cabgo only charges the operator the flat monthly subscription and the one-time app fee — every payment from end users goes straight to the operator's bank account.
