Common questions

What is Pludor Wayfare?

Wayfare is a peer-to-peer marketplace built into Pludor for booking rides, sending packages via courier, and renting items locally. It matches people who need a service with local people who can provide it, with a location-based gate so results are always relevant to where you actually are. You use it inside your Pludor account - no separate app needed.

How do I book a ride or delivery on Wayfare?

Go to pludor.com/wayfare and allow location so results are limited to your area. Choose Ride, Stay or Parcel, then enter your pickup and drop-off (or dates for a stay) and review offers from nearby providers. Confirm and pay with card or wallet balance, then track the booking from your Pludor account.

How much does Wayfare cost to use?

It's free to browse, book and list - there's no subscription for riders, drivers, hosts or senders. Each paid booking carries the standard platform fee. You need a Pludor store, which is free to create at pludor.com/setup.

Can I make money as a driver or courier on Wayfare?

Yes. Open pludor.com/wayfare and choose to offer rides, a stay or parcel runs, then set your area and prices. You earn from local bookings paid by card or wallet. It's built for local people and businesses, so you're matched with customers near you.

Can I use Wayfare to send a package to another city?

No - Wayfare's courier and ride matching is location-radius based, so it's built for local, same-area delivery and rides rather than long-distance national shipping. For long-distance shipping you'd need a different service. Wayfare works best when sender and recipient are both within your local area.

How is Wayfare different from Uber or Bolt?

On Uber or Bolt, providers are typically large fleets; on Wayfare, rides, stays and parcels come from local people and businesses near you. Payment is typically card in each app, while Pludor lets you pay by card or Pludor wallet. Everything also sits on the same account and wallet you shop with - no separate app.

Do I need to download a separate app to use Wayfare?

No - Wayfare is a section inside the same Pludor account, alongside the marketplace and AI Studio. You just need a Pludor store, which is free to create. Everything works from your browser at pludor.com/wayfare.

How do I send a package with a local courier?

Go to pludor.com/wayfare and choose Parcel, then enter pickup and drop-off addresses and a description of the item. Review offers from nearby couriers and pick one, then track the delivery from your account. If you run a store, you can also use Deliveries in the Core Commerce menu to assign your own drivers.

Is Wayfare available in my area?

Availability depends on real local drivers, hosts and couriers near you. In areas without supply yet, the pages offer early access instead of instant booking. Allow location when you open pludor.com/wayfare and you'll see what's actually available in your radius.

Can I pay for Wayfare bookings with my wallet?

Yes - you can pay with card or your Pludor wallet balance at checkout. Open your wallet at pludor.com/me/wallet to add balance or redeem a gift card, and every transaction shows in the wallet history. Wallet-to-wallet transfers between Pludor users are free.

Is Wayfare a separate app from Pludor?
