# Pricing

> How RoomDrop pricing works for customers and runners.

## Customer pricing

| Item              | Price         |
| ----------------- | ------------- |
| Standard drop fee | **\$3.99**    |
| Rush drop fee     | **\$3.99**    |
| Tip (optional)    | $1 / $2 / \$3 |

### Authorization hold

When you place an order session, RoomDrop authorizes up to \*\*$6.99** on your card ($3.99 drop fee + $3.00 max tip). This is a hold, not a charge. After your 5-minute tip window closes, the actual amount is captured — $3.99 if no tip, up to $6.99 if you tip $3.

### What you pay for

The RoomDrop fee covers the last step of delivery — a verified student runner carrying your food from the building entrance to your door. You still pay DoorDash or Uber Eats separately for the food and their delivery.

## Runner earnings

| Item               | Amount             |
| ------------------ | ------------------ |
| Per completed drop | **\$3.00**         |
| Tip (if given)     | 100% of tip amount |

Runners earn \$3.00 per completed drop regardless of drop type (standard or rush). Tips go entirely to the runner.

## Rush drops

Rush drops are the same price as standard drops ($3.99 for customers, $3.00 for runners). They are tagged with priority visibility in the runner feed — useful for time-sensitive orders. Customers can mark their drop as a rush when creating an order session.
