Roaming earns you revenue when drivers from other networks use your chargers, and costs you money when your drivers use theirs. Spirii sits between both: invoicing roaming partners for inbound sessions, and receiving and reconciling their invoices for outbound ones.

​
Two directions of roaming

Inbound roaming (CPO)

A driver from another network charges on your charger. You earn revenue. Spirii invoices the driver’s eMSP or roaming hub and pays you.

Outbound roaming (eMSP)

Your driver charges on another network. You owe that network. Spirii receives their invoice and bills you on a consolidated basis.

​
Inbound roaming: getting paid

1

The session is authenticated

Over a roaming hub or a direct connection, depending on how that partner is reached.
2

The CDR is shared back

Spirii generates the CDR and returns it to the driver’s eMSP over the same protocol.
3

Spirii invoices the roaming partner

Priced on the roaming tariff set for that location. You enter that tariff gross, but the eMSP is billed the net amount, and net is what the session is worth to you. See Roaming pricing for how the tariff is chosen and when a change takes effect.
4

Spirii collects and pays you

Funds are collected from the roaming partner, and your share reaches you on a self-billing invoice.
You can also settle directly with a roaming eMSP under a peer-to-peer agreement instead of going through Spirii. Your account manager can set that up, and it changes where the money arrives: peer-to-peer sessions are settled between you and that eMSP, not through your Spirii payout.

​
Outbound roaming: consolidated billing

1

The external network invoices Spirii

At the rate that network has pre-agreed with Spirii.
2

Spirii invoices you

At the tariff configured for outbound roaming, which is the price your driver or their fleet company pays.
3

You receive one bill

A single consolidated invoice covering all outbound roaming by your drivers, rather than a separate invoice from every network they stopped at.

​
Roaming networks

Spirii connects to the roaming ecosystem through: Enabling roaming on a location or a charge key reaches every network Spirii connects to. There is no per-hub configuration to repeat, and no separate agreement to negotiate with each one.

​
Dependencies & limitations

  • Roaming pays on a different cycle to everything else. Roaming revenue reaches you in the same month Spirii invoices the roaming partner, while app, terminal, and charge key revenue pays the following month — so a single month’s income arrives in two parts.
  • Peer-to-peer sessions are not in your Spirii payout. Where you settle directly with an eMSP, those sessions are excluded from the self-billing invoice and appear in the specification file marked as such. See Understanding your payout.
  • Roaming sessions produce a statement, not a receipt. The statement carries no VAT details, because the invoice between networks is the VAT document for that consumption. See Receipts.
  • Autocharge does not work over roaming. A vehicle charge key is read by the charger itself, so it only works on chargers managed by Spirii’s platform; your drivers need an RFID or virtual charge key to charge on partner networks. See Charge keys.
