Split Payments

Use this page when the reader needs the shared-booking payment flow rather than a standard single-payer checkout.

Who this is for

hosts creating a booking and inviting others to pay a share
invited participants opening a payment link
operators explaining what happens when only some shares get paid

How split payments work

The host creates the booking, selects split payment during checkout, and enters the other participants. The system then sends each participant a unique payment link.

Host flow

Typical host flow:

create the booking
choose split payment on the review step
enter participant phone numbers
pay the host share
wait for the other participants to pay through their individual links

Participant flow

Typical participant flow:

open the invite link
review the booking summary and their share amount
complete phone verification if required
enter payment details
reach payment confirmation

What makes this flow different

each participant has an individual payment link
the booking can be partly paid while other shares remain outstanding
the host may need to cover unpaid shares later, depending on tenant settings

Timeline and enforcement

Split payments usually operate under a timeline:

invitation sent
participants pay
rescue window may open before start time
auto-cancel can happen if the unpaid balance is not resolved

Common blockers

wrong or expired invite link
phone verification not completed
only some participants paid, so the booking remains partially paid
host expects custom share amounts even though the flow uses equal shares
