Balances

Each group shows the Total spent, Your balance, and what every member owes or is owed. A positive balance means the group owes you; a negative one means you owe.

Settle up

When someone pays another member back outside the app (cash, a bank transfer, a payment app):

  1. Open the group and choose Settle up (or Record a payment).
  2. Choose who paid and who received it, and the amount.
  3. Add a note if you like, for example “Venmo”.
  4. Choose Record.

The balances update for everyone. When all balances are zero, the group shows Everyone is settled up.

Made a mistake?

Remove the payment (Remove payment) and record it again. Balances go back to how they were before it.
