3Commission & Fees

Commission Rate8% of the Transport Fee per booking
Service ChargeGHC 12.00 per bus or air booking, GHC 5.00 per courier booking (paid by the Customer, collected by ParcelGH)
Carrier Earnings92% of the Transport Fee per paid booking

The Carrier keeps 92% of the Transport Fee for every successfully paid booking. The Service Charge is paid by the Customer, collected by ParcelGH and not deducted from the Carrier's earnings.

ParcelGH reserves the right to revise commission rates with 30 days written notice to the Carrier.

4Payment Terms

ParcelGH will issue a monthly invoice to the Carrier by the 5th business day of each month, covering all paid bookings from the previous calendar month.

The invoice will detail: booking reference, route, transport fee, commission deducted, and net amount owed to the Carrier.

Payment to the Carrier will be made by bank transfer or Mobile Money within 7 business days of invoice issuance, subject to any outstanding disputes.

Cash bookings (cash on pickup or cash on delivery): where the Carrier collects cash from the Customer, the Carrier holds ParcelGH's Commission and Service Charge for those bookings. ParcelGH deducts these amounts from the Carrier's next monthly payment. If that payment is smaller than the amount owed, the Carrier pays the difference to ParcelGH by Mobile Money or bank transfer within 7 business days of the invoice.

5Courier (door-to-door) Bookings

This section applies to courier and delivery companies.

  • The Transport Fee shown for each courier route includes pickup from the sender and delivery to the receiver's door. ParcelGH adds no pickup or delivery fees on top.
  • The Customer pays a Service Charge of GHC 5.00 per courier booking, collected by ParcelGH and not deducted from the Carrier's earnings.
  • The Carrier picks up the parcel in the pickup window chosen by the Customer at booking and delivers it to the address given.
  • The Carrier is responsible for the parcel from pickup until delivery is confirmed by OTP.
  • The Carrier updates each parcel's status in the ParcelGH app or dashboard (picked up, in transit, out for delivery, delivered).

6Optional Software Plan

Any Carrier may choose to use ParcelGH's software for its own orders, such as walk-in parcels at its offices and WhatsApp or Instagram orders (dashboard, staff app, tracking codes and SMS updates), separately from bookings made through the Platform. This is optional and not required by this Agreement.

The first 2 months are free. After that: Starter GHC 250/month (300 parcels, GHC 1.00 per extra parcel), Business GHC 600/month (1,000 parcels, GHC 0.80 per extra), Pro GHC 1,200/month (3,000 parcels, GHC 0.60 per extra). Above 3,000 parcels a month, ParcelGH and the Carrier agree a custom plan in writing.

Bookings made through the Platform do not count towards the plan's parcels and are charged only under Section 3. ParcelGH will ask the Carrier to confirm in writing before the first paid month. The Carrier may cancel or change its plan with 30 days written notice by email.
