Logistics & Delivery

Payment flows built into logistics platforms.

Delivery and logistics platforms coordinate orders, drivers and customers in real time. Payments need to fit into that flow through an API, with status updates the platform can act on automatically.

What the business needs from payments

Payment in the booking flow

Create payments from the platform when a shipment or delivery is booked.

Automated status

Callbacks feed payment status straight into dispatch and customer notifications.

Adjustments

Refund all or part of a payment for failed or changed deliveries.

Supported payouts

Where approved, initiate payouts through the same API.

Payment scenario

Example: a same-day courier booking

A fictional courier platform lets businesses book same-day deliveries.

  1. 1

    A business books a delivery; the platform creates a payment and redirects the business to pay.

  2. 2

    The approved callback triggers driver assignment.

  3. 3

    A failed delivery attempt leads the platform to refund part of the fee under its terms.

  4. 4

    All payment tokens are stored on the booking for support and reconciliation.

This is a hypothetical example to illustrate a payment flow. It does not describe a Rainbow Pay customer.
