Multiplier (Stuart)
A multiplier is Stuart's incentive: it multiplies the base delivery fee by a factor shown on the invitation, so a £3.20 fee at x1.5 pays £4.80.
Last checked 29/09/2026.
Some multipliers are set in advance by location and time of day and shown on a map in the Stuart app. Others are dynamic, set when the invitation is sent by demand, weather, the number of stops and distance. The value active at the pick-up address is the one you get.
What it means for your money
Multipliers apply to the per-drop fee only, not to waiting time pay, and cancelled deliveries get none. On a return, only the return leg earns one. They show on your weekly statement and are part of your turnover.

When each app pays you, and why the date matters for tax
Most apps pay weekly, on different days, with a fee to get it sooner. Evri pays monthly. The pay date decides how much cash you need in reserve and, at the start and end of the year, which tax year the money falls in.
