Agree on a payment method, pay your friend outside Spliz, then update the group鈥檚 records.

Spliz distinguishes an expense from a repayment. If a friend paid your share of dinner, pay them back outside Spliz with a method you agree on. Then record the repayment in Spliz.

How to do it

  1. Someone writes by hand in a notebook on a table

    Create a group for the two of you

    Send the link. Your friend joins in the app with a name, no account needed.

  2. A restaurant check beside cash at the end of a meal

    Log what each of you fronted

    The tickets, the deposit, the gift you went in on together. Equal shares or exact amounts.

  3. A notebook, a pen and sticky notes beside a laptop

    Read the net balance

    Two expenses in opposite directions become one number: what one of you owes the other.

  4. Someone checks a phone at an outdoor caf茅 table

    Pay back your way

    Pay back in cash, by bank transfer or with your payment app, then record the repayment in Spliz.

The group鈥檚 expenses and repayments

  • Concert tickets $140 paid by Maya in Lisbon, split between 2: $70 each. Dinner deposit $30 paid by Jon in New York, split between 2: $15 each.
  • Balances: Maya +$55, Jon -$55.
