Riders expect to pay in the app, the way they do with ride-hailing giants. VAMOS processes in-app card payments through Stripe, so your taxi company offers the same convenience without building payment systems yourself.
Stripe describes itself as financial infrastructure for the internet, used by companies from startups to large enterprises. The details below summarise Stripe's own published information; check stripe.com for current terms in your country.
Why Stripe For Taxi Payments
Stripe is certified as a PCI Service Provider Level 1, the most stringent level of certification in the payments industry, according to Stripe's security documentation. Card data is handled by Stripe rather than stored by your taxi company.
Stripe supports payments in more than 135 currencies, which suits operators serving tourists, airport travellers and corporate visitors.
Wallets Riders Already Use
Stripe supports Apple Pay and Google Pay alongside major card networks. Availability of each method depends on your country and configuration, which we confirm during onboarding.
Fraud Screening And Authentication
Stripe Radar uses machine learning across Stripe's network to help detect fraudulent payments, and Stripe supports 3D Secure for Strong Customer Authentication where regulations require it.
How It Works In VAMOS
The rider adds a card in the app, the fare is charged when the trip completes, and the payment appears in your operator reporting for reconciliation. Rider commission on app trips is paid by the rider as part of each fare.
Cash and account trips continue to run alongside card payments.
Country Availability
Stripe operates in a defined list of supported countries. If your company is registered outside that list, tell us your market in your demo request and we will confirm the options for you.
