Introduction
Tipping taxi drivers has been around for a long
time. It motivates drivers to provide better
service. With online payments becoming more
common than cash, it's now easier for customers
to tip. Taxi app businesses always include a
tipping option in the rider app after a completed
trip. Drivers who give excellent service tend to
get higher tips from satisfied customers.

HELPS DRIVERS' LOW PAY
MOTIVATES FRIENDLY SERVICE
Drivers for ride-share companies often don't make
much money from just their wages. Tipping allows
them to earn extra income. In some places, tips
can be a big part of what drivers make, which is
important if minimum wages are very low.
When drivers know their tip depends on good
service, it motivates them to be friendly and
personable with riders. This makes for a more
enjoyable riding experience for customers.

Adding the Tip Feature
Like any other app, a taxi booking app is also
being constantly updated by programmers and
developers. They write codes in the backend and
test it out in the demo trials. Once done, the
live version of the app is put out for user
testing until considerable feedback is attained
for future updates.
This process is extremely expensive and
time-taking to say the least. With the help of an
Uber Clone, you can skip this phase altogether.
To put it simply, you have to find a script that
offers a trip feature and buy it for further
customization process. Apart from the tip
feature, you can also test the demo from the
rider and customer app as well.
Similarly, the Uber Clone app package allows the
entrepreneur to see the features in a streamline
manner for ease of business. Most importantly,
once you have bought the Uber Clone script, you
can customize it however you want. However,
professional white-label firms can easily do the
same for you to launch your business in just 1-2
weeks. Now, lets understand the ready-made tip
feature present in an Uber Clone.

HOW TIPPING WORKS IN A RIDE-SHARE APP
In these types of apps, the rider can tip the
driver right through the app itself. If tipping
with a credit card, the rider enters the tip
amount and it gets charged to their card. The app
company does not take any commission on the
tip. If tipping cash, it does not get recorded
on the invoice or reports. The passenger just
gives cash to the driver as desired. However, the
app does allow the driver to record any cash tips
received. These tips are non-taxable and the app
company takes no commission. Furthermore, the app
company does not profit from any of these tips.

Making Tipping Easy
The apps make it very easy and convenient for
riders to tip their drivers. After completing a
trip, the app will prompt the rider to optionally
leave a tip for the driver before rating them.
Common tip percentages like 15 or 20 are
suggested, or the rider can enter a custom dollar
amount. This streamlined process encourages more
riders to tip when they received good service.
Optional or Mandatory?
Most ride-share apps leave tipping as an optional
choice for the rider. However, some companies
have explored making tipping mandatory and
including it automatically, with an option for
the rider to remove or adjust the amount. This
ensures drivers get some compensation beyond
their base fare. However, it can also lead to
customer frustration if automatically added
without their full awareness.

Overall Importance
While not required, tipping is an important way
for riders to show their appreciation to drivers
who go above and beyond with excellent service.
It provides an income boost for the drivers
beyond their basic wages from the ride fees
alone. Having a simple, user-friendly tipping
system integrated into the app helps make it a
common practice that benefits both drivers and
riders.

White-Label Ride-Share Apps
Many companies prefer to use pre-built,
white-label ride-sharing apps that they can brand
and customize for their own business needs. These
apps come with the core ride-booking
functionality plus additional features like
tipping already built-in.

Tipping in White-Label Apps
The tipping functionality in white-label apps
works essentially the same as popular ride-share
brands. After a completed trip, the rider has the
option to leave a tip for their driver through
the app. This could be a percentage of the fare
or a custom amount.

Summary
Customizing the Tipping Experience
App Revenue from Tipping
An advantage of white-label solutions is the
ability to tailor the tipping experience to fit
your brand and local preferences. You can adjust
the suggested tip percentages, use your own
payment processing, and customize the user
interface for tipping screens.
Like major ride-share platforms, white-label app
providers do not take any commission from the
tips given to drivers. Tipping amounts go
directly to the drivers themselves. The app
maker's revenue comes from other fees and
subscription costs.
11
Conclusion
To put it simply, including an intuitive tipping
option is a core feature for any ride-sharing
app, whether a major platform or a white-label
solution. It provides an important income source
for drivers while enhancing the customer
experience.
