Providing excellent customer service often comes down to recognising the people who deliver it. Giving passengers an easy way to reward outstanding service can help improve driver engagement while creating a better overall customer experience.



The Butterfly release introduces Driver Tips from Booking Apps, allowing passengers to add gratuities directly through the booking app after their journey has been completed.

Allow passengers to tip drivers directly through booking apps, giving operators flexible configuration while improving driver engagement and customer experience.

Operators have full control over how tipping is configured, allowing the feature to be tailored to suit different business requirements.



Key features include:


  • Offer fixed amounts, percentages or custom tip values
  • Configure tipping rules for different customer accounts
  • Notify drivers when a tip has been received
  • Integrate tipping directly into the customer booking journey



By making tipping simple and convenient, operators can help recognise excellent service while encouraging continued high standards across their driver network.



This feature is particularly valuable for ride hailing services, chauffeur operations, airport transfers and executive transport, where customer experience and driver satisfaction play an important role in service quality.



Small improvements like these can have a meaningful impact, helping operators strengthen customer relationships, improve driver morale and deliver an even better passenger experience.
