You deserve to earn more while you drive your passengers.

Without driving one extra hour, you can make your work pay more. During your rides, the passenger picks a product and pays on their own phone by scanning a QR code, and you keep 40% of every sale, for the same hours you already work. We are piloting in Fortaleza, Brazil, and opening a waitlist for other cities.

The pain we solve

We know the routine of people who drive for a living. It's not just the steering wheel.

◷
Long hoursYou spend most of your day driving, and more hours don't always mean more income. In Brazil, drivers work about 46 hours a week and earn less per hour than other drivers (IBGE, 2025).
!
Always exposed to riskTraffic, accidents, theft and fatigue. Every extra hour on the road adds to that exposure.
$
Expensive to workFuel, maintenance, insurance and car payments. In Fortaleza, Brazil, about 55% of what drivers bill goes to costs (GigU, 2025).
%
Tight financesIn Brazil, 8 in 10 drivers have open debts (GigU, 2026), and most say the app sets everything they earn (IBGE, 2025).
☾
Little time leftLess time at home, with your family and to rest.
That is why Merece exists. People who drive wake up early, run for their families and deserve to earn more without taking more risk. Our idea: new income during the hours you already drive, without driving one hour more. I want extra income without driving more

Early results from our pilot

8 of 8

drivers made their first sale on the same day they picked up their kit. 5 of 8 sold more than 3 items on day one.

All 8 have restocked or booked their next restock, and 3 have already restocked three times.

Pilot in Fortaleza, Brazil, first 5 days (October 2026). Small sample, early data. Results in your city may differ, and that is what we want to find out.

I want to earn this

Illustrative estimate with 26 working days and a 40% driver share. It is not a guarantee of income. It assumes the whole batch sells; unsold product lowers your earnings. Real results depend on your rides, and that is what we measure together.

Questions

Do I need to know how to sell?

No. The passenger buys directly from the QR code. There is no sales pitch: you keep driving as usual.

Do I have to pay to join?

No. In pilot cities, the kit and the first batch are on us. After that, you buy small batches and sell at the final price shown on the screen.

When will you open in my city?

We are piloting in Fortaleza, Brazil. We are measuring interest to decide where to go next, so we can't promise a date. Joining the waitlist puts you first in line.

What if I have leftover product?

That is why batches are small and the first one is free. Products have a short shelf life, and we track how fast they sell with you.

Will this hurt my rating in the app?

Buying is optional and the passenger decides. We don't approach anyone, and we track passenger satisfaction.

Is selling in my car allowed?

Rules about selling products in a vehicle vary by city and by app. We check the local rules before opening in a city, and we'll tell you what applies to you.

Who is Merece?

An early-stage initiative piloting in Fortaleza, Brazil, that connects local makers, drivers and passengers. We are not affiliated with any ride-hailing app, including Uber, Lyft, DiDi, Grab, inDrive or Bolt.

About us

Merece was born to help ride-hailing drivers earn more money. That is our reason to exist, and everything else comes after.

What we do. We turn the back seat into a point of sale. Local makers supply the products, the passenger buys with a QR code, and you get your share of every sale during the hours you already drive.

Why we care so much. People who drive wake up early, do ride after ride and run for their families. Every extra dollar makes a difference at the end of the month.

Our thesis is simple: if the driver doesn't earn more, Merece makes no sense. If you don't earn, we don't earn.
