When a table pays separately, working out the bill by hand is where money gets lost: one part charged twice, another that nobody paid. Split the bill divides the remaining balance among the people and guides you through charging part by part, until the bill is covered.
The minimum you need to know
  • There are three ways: Even split, By amount and By item.
  • By item is only available before the first charge.
  • Remove split keeps the charges already made: it only removes the part guide.

Prerequisites

1. Open the split

On the charge screen, tap Split the bill. The window divides the remaining balance between two people; with + you add more, and with each person’s × you remove them.

2. Choose how to split

  • Even split: each person pays the same share of the remaining balance.

  • By amount: edit what one person pays and the others adjust so the total adds up.

  • By item: on each product, tap the number of the person who had it. Anything you don’t assign is charged as The table.

3. Charge each part

The charge screen shows Bill split with each part and who you are charging. The amount already comes with that person’s share: charge as usual.

Remove the split

Charging by hand without applying the split. Without the part guide, it’s easy to charge one person twice or leave another one uncharged. Apply the split and charge part by part.
