Revenue Share

Revenue share is the markup that fleet owners add to violation amounts when billing renter companies through the renter portal. This markup compensates fleet owners for the administrative overhead of managing violations, processing payments, and coordinating with NYC — and it creates a revenue stream beyond the base lease payment.

Fleet owners set their markup percentage or flat amount per violation when configuring the renter portal. For example, a fleet owner might add a 15% markup to every violation pushed to renters. On a $115 parking ticket, the renter would pay $134.25 — $115 for the base violation, $17.25 in fleet-owner markup, and a $2 Clear Plates platform fee.

Revenue share is tracked in a ledger system within Clear Plates. As renter payments are processed, markup amounts are recorded as "accrued" revenue. Fleet owners can view their balance, see entry-by-entry details, and request payouts. The admin team processes payouts and records them against the ledger. Clear Plates provides full transparency on revenue share balances through the dashboard and admin panel.
