    <Steps>
      <Step title="Enter booking information">
        Any required bookings fields must be entered. "Destination" and "taxi type" are required to estimate the total fare amount and for Taxi Butler PAY to work.

        The guest can choose to receive their receipt via email.
      </Step>

      <Step title="The fare is estimated">
        Using the device’s preset pick-up address, the destination and chosen taxi type, the fare amount is estimated using your dispatch system. Any fixed fares, zoning prices, etc. are taken from your dispatch system.
      </Step>

      <Step title="The total amount is calculated">
        Any service fees that are set will be added to calculate the final “total amount to be paid”.
      </Step>
