Payment Method
You can pay for rides using cash or a card.
To select a payment method:
1. Before placing an order: Open the app menu and go to the "Payment Methods" section to choose your preferred payment option.
2. While placing an order: Tap the payment icon next to the pickup address after entering your destination.
3. If the ride has already started: You can switch from cash to card, but you cannot change from card to cash.
If you're paying by card but the card is blocked or has insufficient funds, the payment method may automatically switch to cash. You will receive a notification about this change, and the driver will also be informed.

Using Promo codes/Discounts
Promo codes give a discount for one or more rides.
For the discount to work, enter the promo code before placing a ride request.
Go to the app menu → Promo code.
Enter the discount manually (don't copy and paste!).
Tap Done.
If your promo code isn't working:
Make sure you entered it right — promo codes only contain numbers and Latin letters (no size limits).
You may be using an old app version. Download the latest update in the App Store or Google Play, and try entering the promo code again.
The discount may already be used in full if the promo code has a maximum limit.
To suspend a promo code discount, tap on the promo code card and confirm.

Tip your Wag Driver
This feature is available only if you pay for your ride using a bank card (this excludes rides with a promo code).
If you enjoyed your ride, you have the option to tip the driver. To set a standard tip amount for all your rides, go to the app menu, select "Payment Method," then "Default Tip," and set your preferred amount.
You can change the tip amount at any time in the app menu or at the end of a ride when you rate the driver.
Tips will be charged automatically to your card if, within 30 minutes after the ride ends, you give the driver a positive rating (or no rating) and tap "Done."
If you give the driver a negative rating and tap "Done" within that 30-minute window, no tip will be given.
If you don’t tap "Done" within 30 minutes after your ride, the tip amount will be held on your card for 24 hours. During this time, you can change the tip amount for that ride, and it will be charged to your card after 24 hours.

Ride receipt
At the end of a ride, we can send you a:
- Ride report
- Payment receipt
To get a ride report after every ride, add your email in the app. We'll email you a link to confirm your ride report subscription. That's it! Now you'll receive ride reports automatically.
Drivers will give you a payment receipt upon request. If you forgot to ask for a payment receipt at the end of a ride, please contact the taxi company directly.

Lost Belongings
It's been less than two days. Contact the driver; they are usually willing to return your belongings. The call button in your order history remains active for 48 hours after the ride.
More than two days have passed or no agreement was reached with the driver: Describe your lost item and we'll help you get it back as soon as possible.
I lost the phone I requested the ride with. We'll help you! Please write to us and include two phone numbers:
1) the number to reach you now and 2) the number associated with the ride.
