Show HN: Eggler – a decentralized Instacart

#1
I've made a grocery delivery app that lets customers hire drivers directly. Drivers post their time slots in advance and then customers choose a time slot/driver.

Drivers choose when and where they will deliver, and their delivery price. It's more like Airbnb's business model than Uber or Instacart.

Seems great. I would like something like that here in Brazil.

My big question for which I can't get an answer, no matter how many times I ask (in the context of Instacard and similar): How does payment works? People pay through credit card on the app, the money is capped, then capped again, then goes to the drivers after a month? How do the drivers pay for the groceries?

Users of Eggler pay twice

1 - they pay eggler (who in turn pays the driver) for the delivery

2 - they pay Walmart for the groceries which the Eggler driver will deliver.
