Feature highlight: Tour compensation

🆕 What's new

We're introducing tour compensation: a single, structured view of everything a driver earns for a tour. It pulls base pay, bonuses, and tips into one total that adds up automatically. Operators can set a base rate and up to five bonuses per tour.

Drivers see the full breakdown right in their app through two new labels and on the past Tour Details screen. In the Dashboard, a new Compensation tab on the Tour Details page lets you edit everything in one place. And for integrations, a dedicated API exposes each part of the total, with a new webhook that fires whenever something changes.

The feature is already live in the API and Dashboard, with driver apps rolling out over the coming weeks.

🦾 Why this is important

The old earnings value on tours couldn't reflect how operators actually pay drivers - a base rate plus situational bonuses like peak-hour or late-night incentives, plus tips. Tour compensation turns payout into structured data you can compare and audit. Every component is editable on its own, and bonus keys stay unique per tour, so the same incentive can't be paid twice. It's the foundation for proper payroll reporting, and for anything richer than a single number down the line.

🔜 What's next

Next up is exporting compensation data for payroll. With the breakdown now structured, we can surface base pay, bonuses, and tips as their own columns in payroll exports instead of a single lumped figure.


More features and updates

Automatic tip distribution onto tour compensation

Building on the new tour compensation object, tips can now land on a tour automatically when it's completed. The tip distribution strategy is configured per tour service. The first available strategy gathers tips from the bookings whose drop-offs were all completed on that tour and adds them to the tour's tip total.

New webhook for workforce busyness signal

We've added a new Busyness Signals webhook group, starting with an event that reports busyness changes at the place level. Whenever the busyness affecting a specific merchant or place moves to a new step, subscribers get notified, so integrations can make granular, timely throttling decisions per location instead of reacting to the whole network at once.

This feature is in the final stages of development and will roll out later this month.


Upcoming deprecations

Depreciation of the legacy tour earnings attribute

With tour compensation now available, the legacy earnings attribute and its webhook will be removed on November 6, 2026. The new tour compensation object is the migration target. If your integration uses any of these, please refer to the migration guide for details.

Removal of the Fleet management feature

The Fleet management feature has been removed from the MotionTools platform, effective with the production release on May 27, 2026. This completes a phased retirement that already removed Fleet management from the dashboard and mobile apps earlier this year.
