Problem
In high season Łeba fills with thousands of tourists and dozens of electric carts, yet booking a ride had not changed in years: find a driver on the street or call a number from a flyer. Payment was usually cash and the price was agreed on the spot.
Solution
Melly is a marketplace: the customer books a ride in the app and a local operator delivers it. The customer pays one amount in the app: the fare plus a service fee of roughly 10%. Operators use the platform free of charge and settle monthly.
The mobile app is built with Ionic, so one codebase shipped to Google Play and the App Store at the same time. The backend and dashboard run on Laravel and Vue.
Strategy and compliance
The hardest part was not technical. A marketplace that takes payment for rides raises questions about fiscal cash registers, Polish product classification (PKWiU) and the rules for low-speed vehicles. Instead of guessing, I wrote the application for an individual tax ruling myself and answered the tax authority’s follow-up request myself.
The ruling of 17 September 2026 confirmed the position: Melly matches customers with drivers, the operator performs the transport, and the platform needs no fiscal cash register, documenting its fee with an electronic payment confirmation.
Next
2026 was the first season, with one partner operator. Next up: more operators and more resorts.
