How to add a new service type. Step 3.2: Cancellations

Learn about cancellation fees in Onde.Light.

Customer cancellation fee

In the Onde.Light solution, there is no cancellation policy for customers, as the system does not include a customer app or the ability to link a payment card in the Web booking panel. As a result, orders are canceled in the system without any commission fees.

Driver Cancellation Fees: Instant Bookings

Cancellation after acceptance
By default, a driver is charged a fee when they cancel an instant job after accepting it. You can set a grace period in Fee settings, using the Free cancellation for minutes after booking field. The default is 0 minutes.

  • If the driver cancels within the grace period, no fee is charged.

  • If the driver cancels after the grace period ends, the fee is charged.

The Edit service settings screen shows driver cancellation fees, wait time and distance controls, plus free cancellation settings for customers and drivers.

Cancellation while on a ride (status “Transferring”)
If a driver cancels after swiping to start a ride, the system treats it as a mid-ride cancellation and charges a fee.

Driver Cancellation Fees: Pre-Orders

Cancellation before pick-up time
Drivers have a default grace period of 30 minutes to cancel an accepted pre-order without a fee. You control it with the Free cancellation for preorders minutes in advance field.

  • If the driver cancels more than 30 minutes before pick-up, no fee is charged.

  • If the driver cancels within 30 minutes of pick-up, a fee is charged.

  • If you set the grace period to 0 minutes, a fee always applies when a driver cancels an accepted pre-order.

You can set the grace period to any value up to the maximum pre-order window of 30 days (43,200 minutes), entered in minutes.

Cancellation while on a ride
Mid-ride cancellations follow the same logic for pre-orders as for instant bookings.

How Fees Are Collected and Where They Appear

Driver cancellation fees are deducted from the driver’s balance, not from a credit card. You can see them in:

  • Web booking app: Booking history

  • Driver app: Recent jobs and Transactions

  • My hub: Driver profile > Transactions

  • Orders report

What Happens After a Driver Cancels

When a driver cancels an instant booking or a pre-order, the system:

  • Automatically re-queues the booking for driver search

  • Minimizes disruption for the customer

  • Places the cancelling driver back into the intelligent queue
