Splitting a bill

Every night out ends in arithmetic. Splitting settles it: the app works out each person’s share and gives you a link to send the group — they open it, see what they owe, and pay you back.

The first step: photograph the bill or type the items yourself.

Note

Splitting is free. What’s premium is scanning a receipt so the app reads the items for you.

The steps

1. Add the bill — photograph it, pick a photo from your library, or type the items yourself.
2. Check the bill — fix anything read wrong, then set Tax and Service. For a discount, put a minus sign in the Other field.
3. Who is splitting? — how many people and their names, counting yourself. Save the group if you go out together often.
4. How to split — evenly, by item, or let everyone choose on the link.
5. Tax and service — by share, evenly, or you cover it.
6. How they pay you — cash or transfer. For a transfer, enter the address they’ll send to.
7. The link — send it to the group.

The three methods

Method	When
Split evenly	Everyone had roughly the same
Split by item	You know who had what
Let them choose	You don’t — let them pick on the link

With Let them choose, anything nobody claims stays on you.

After you send the link

You can follow who’s paid from Following a split.

Tips

• Scanning works best with the receipt flat and well lit.
• Save the group you go out with most — it skips a step every time.
• Add a note to the link so people remember which night it was.

Common problems

The receipt wasn’t read well — add the items by hand on the check screen; the rest carries on as normal.

I forgot someone — while the split is open you can still edit it.

The numbers look wrong — check tax and service; how they’re divided makes a real difference.
