Drop-in SDK · e-hailing platforms

Keep your best rides on-platform.

Saved Drivers lets riders re-book the drivers they trust — by mutual consent, with filtered chat and escrow-held fares — so loyalty between people never leaks your commission off-app.

The leakage problem

When a rider and a driver click, they take the next ride off your platform.

Numbers get swapped, cash changes hands, and the trip — plus every trip after it — stops paying commission. The relationship you created becomes revenue you never see.

How it works

Consent first, then convenience — all of it inside your app.

The handshake is offered only after a premium rider completes a card-paid trip, so every saved pairing is already a paying, verified relationship.

The handshake

After a card-paid premium trip, a save prompt appears on the rider's side first, then the driver's. A pairing is created only when both opt in.

Mutual consent

Saved Drivers

The driver lands in the rider's Saved Drivers list. Next time, the rider re-books that exact driver in a tap — no searching, no going elsewhere.

Rider retention

Escrow & filtered chat

Re-booked fares are held in escrow until the trip completes, and in-app chat screens out attempts to arrange off-platform payment. Your take rate stays whole.

Leak protection
What's in the SDK

Six parts, one job: stop the relationship from leaving.

Consent-based handshake

A two-sided opt-in — rider then driver — so no one is saved without agreement from both.

Saved Drivers list

Trusted drivers kept one tap away for premium riders, driving repeat on-platform bookings.

NLP payment-leak filters

In-app chat screens messages for attempts to share alternative payment details and blocks the hand-off.

Escrow holds

Saved-driver fares sit in escrow until completion, closing the cash-bypass window entirely.

Premium & card gating

The handshake unlocks only for subscribers who paid by card on that trip — quality by design.

Drop-in integration

A licensed SDK your team embeds into your existing rider and driver apps — no rebuild required.

The economics

Built to protect your take rate, not tax it.

  • ✓The driver is paid their usual share — nothing about their earnings changes.
  • ✓Your platform keeps its full commission on every re-booked saved trip.
  • ✓Badger takes 0.5% of ride royalties only on trips the feature creates.
  • ✓You trade a tiny fee for rides that would otherwise have leaked off-platform at full cost.
