# How to make your first test ride with Onde.Light

This article explains how to complete your first test ride in Onde.Light

If you’re new to running a mobility business (or moving from driving to managing), the platform becomes much clearer once you see a real order happen.

To understand how Onde.Light works across all system components (My hub + Driver App + Web Booking App), we recommend making a first test ride on the platform.

To see the full process step by step, watch our video tutorial:

For this exercise, you’ll play both roles — the business owner and the driver.  
  
1\. **Add a driver in My hub**  
  
Open your profile in My hub. Go to **Drivers → Drivers management → Add driver**  
  
Enter your phone number and click **Add**.

2\. **Open the Driver app**  
  
Now switch roles and become the driver.  
  
First, download the Onde Driver App on your phone. \[[Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.multibrains.taxi.driver&hl=en-US)\] \[[iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/onde-driver/id789688951)\]  
  
Register using the same phone number you added in **My hub**. Complete the driver profile and submit it to the company for review.

3. **Activate the driver**  
  
Go back to **My hub**. You’ll see the new driver appear under **Drivers → Drivers management**, with their **Status** column showing **Waiting for activation**.

Open their profile, assign a service type, change the status to **Active**, and save.  
  
**One important thing:** You’ll need to use the same service type when creating a test order for your new driver. For simplicity, we recommend picking Classic this time.  

4\. **Get your driver ready**  
  
Open the Driver app and swipe **Online** at the bottom of the screen. Your driver is now ready to receive orders.

5**. Make a booking**

From your **My hub** dashboard, open the **Web app** and create a booking.  
  
As you put in the booking details, make sure that you pick:

-   pick-up and drop-off spots in **the same area** where your test driver is located
    
-   **the same service type** you set when activating your driver  
    

**6\. Accept the booking**

When the booking shows up in your Driver app:

1.  **Accept the order**  
    Swipe right to accept the booking. A timer will start, simulating the time it takes to reach the pickup point.  
    
2.  **Arrive at pickup**  
    When the timer finishes, swipe **Arrived**.  
    
3.  **Start the ride**  
    The ride will now start and another timer will appear. This simulates the journey to the destination.  
    
4.  **Finish the ride**  
    When the second timer finishes, swipe to complete the order and select **Paid in cash**.
    

That’s it — you’ve just followed an order through the basic driver workflow.
