Use case

Group checkout for shared food orders.

Build one order, let everyone contribute, and release it for fulfilment once the group completes.

Checkout moment

The cart belongs to the group. The payment lands on one person.

Office lunches, team meals, shared takeaway, catering, and table orders often become a private collection exercise after one organiser pays.

With PayShare

  • The group builds or receives one shared order.
  • Each participant sees and pays their share.
  • The merchant tracks group completion.
