Additional guide payment fields let you define a supplemental pay amount that is added to every guide payment across all trips — no guide report entry required. This is useful for applying consistent additions, such as a flat processing fee, a standard bonus, or any other fixed pay element.
To add an additional guide payment field:
Go to Guides.
In the top-right corner, click the dropdown arrow next to Modify Guide Report and select Additional Payment Fields.
In the window that appears, click + Add Field.
Enter a name for the field.
Select the payment type:
Dollar amount — adds a fixed dollar value to every guide payment
Percentage of guide base pay — adds a percentage of the guide's base payout
Percent of trip price — adds a percentage of the trip price
Enter the amount or percentage. You can leave this at zero and edit it later.
Click Save.
Once created, the field will appear automatically on every guide payment you process.
