How to Add a Debit or Credit Card on Shareide

Cash still works fine for a lot of rides, but it comes with its own small hassles — carrying exact change, waiting for a driver to find change of their own, or the slightly awkward moment of handing over money at the end of a trip. Adding a debit or credit card to your Shareide account means the fare is handled automatically once the ride ends, and you can step out without that extra step. It's especially useful on days when you didn't plan ahead and simply don't have small notes on hand.

Why it's worth adding a card

Beyond convenience, having a card on file makes your ride history and spending easier to track, since every trip shows up as a recorded transaction rather than a cash payment you'd otherwise have to remember. It also speeds up the end of every ride — no counting notes, no waiting on a driver for change, just a confirmed payment the moment you arrive.

Adding a card, step by step

• Open the app and go to your Profile or Account section, usually reachable from the bottom navigation bar.
• Look for a Payments or Payment Methods option. This is typically where any saved cards or wallet balances are managed.
• Choose to add a new card, and enter your card number, expiry date, and CVV as prompted — the same details you'd use for any online payment.
• Complete any verification step your bank requires, such as an OTP sent to your registered mobile number, to confirm the card is genuinely yours.
• Set it as your default payment method if you want future rides to charge automatically, or simply keep it saved as an option alongside cash.

Your card details are handled through the app's payment processor rather than stored in plain text, which is standard practice for any app accepting card payments — you're not expected to re-enter your full card number every single ride once it's saved. You can typically add more than one card and switch between them before confirming a ride, which is useful if one account runs low or you simply prefer to keep personal and work spending separate.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to save my card details in the app?

Card details are processed through a secure payment system rather than stored directly by the app itself, which is the standard approach for handling online payments, and it's the same underlying approach used by most banking and shopping apps you already trust. See the safety features page for more on how your information is protected.

Can I still pay with cash after adding a card?

Yes — adding a card doesn't remove cash as an option. You can typically choose your preferred payment method before or during each ride.

What if my card payment fails at the end of a ride?

If a card payment doesn't go through, the app should prompt you to try again, use a different card, or fall back to cash. If the issue continues, reach out through support for help.
