Bill Splitting App for South Africa: Split the Bill on WhatsApp
Short answer: Send a photo of the restaurant or pub slip on WhatsApp. You are asked "Splitting this one?", you split it by who had what, and each friend gets their share on WhatsApp.
How it works
- Take a photo of the slip and send it on WhatsApp.
- Reply yes to "Splitting this one?".
- Split by who had what, by a voice note, or at the table with a QR code.
- Each friend gets their share on WhatsApp.
Why people use it
No app to download for your friends, no typing every item, and no one is left chasing who owes what. The slip is also kept with your other slips.
Running tabs and the crew
If you eat and drink out with the same people, keep a running tab and see who has paid. This is part of the same service.
