Group Pay gives your customers more payment flexibility at checkout, allowing bookers to invite others to contribute to the total cost of a booking. We calculate the suggested share amount based on items assigned to each guest, but also make it possible for customers to pay a custom amount or pay a deposit.

How to enable Group Pay

When Group pay is activated and the deposit option is available, the lead booker will have the option to either pay in full at the time of booking or Split costs with friends later for no additional fee. Once enabled, this option is only available for future bookings.

1. From your admin dashboard, go to Settings > Payments.
2. Under Payment Methods, switch on Allow guests to make payments on deposits.
3. Click Save to publish changes.
4. Next, go to Experiences, Accommodations or Packages, and select the products you'd like to offer Group Pay for.  
5. Navigate to the Variants tab.
6. Select Guest Fields for a Variant. This allows customers to add guests to their booking so that they can assign items for payment.
7. Navigate to the Payment Settings tab and switch on the option for Deposit.
8. Next, select the percentage Rate of the deposit that customers must pay at time of booking (e.g. 20% of total price).
9. Set the due date for the full balance to be paid.
10. Click Save to publish changes.
11. Repeat for other products that this option applies to.

How to disable Group Pay

When Group pay is disabled, this removes the signposting from checkout and will prevent guests on future bookings from making payments.

When Group pay is disabled after having been in use, guests on bookings made during the time this option was available, will continue to be able to make payments through Group pay.

1. From your admin dashboard, go to Settings > Payments.
2. Under Payment Methods, switch off Allow guests to make payments on deposits.
3. Click Save to publish changes.
