Split Bill

The Split Bill feature simplifies the process of dividing a bill among multiple individuals, allowing each guest to conveniently pay their share. You can allocate specific payment amounts to each guest and send payment links via email to the intended recipients for easy payment before the event.

Split Bill Insight

To access the Split Bill feature, an order must have an initial deposit paid with a remaining amount due.

Upon clicking the Split Bill button, you will be prompted to add a payee. Selecting the 'Add Payee' option opens a form where you can input the recipient's details for splitting the bill. After entering all the necessary information, click 'Add this payee.'

Clicking 'Start Email Process' in the next step allows you to choose the recipients of the email. The Event Booking Software enables you to add multiple payees, ensuring each individual pays their respective share. By clicking 'Send Payment Request Emails,' the email sending process begins, and recipients receive an email, as shown in the image below.

For ease of use, the link sent to the payee directs them straight to the Worldpay payment page, expediting the payment without the need for registration on the Event Booking site. Please note that the payment link has an expiration date for security purposes.

Upon revisiting the Split Bill screen, you can see all successful payments made by other guests highlighted in green, providing clarity on paid portions.
