Say goodbye to collecting cash, dealing with bank transfers, and figuring out who owes what: our new service streamlines the process. With it, one person in the group handles the reservation, and everyone can pay their share by connecting to the platform.

How does it work? When making the payment, simply choose the “shared payment” option. Enter the email addresses of your group members and provide their information. Once confirmed, we take care of the rest: Pledg collects the funds and sends reminders to those who have not paid. Keep in mind that your friends have a 48-hour window to pay. Your share will only be debited after the last transaction, and you will receive the tickets upon completing your payment. If your friends don’t pay their share, the total amount is debited from the main buyer after 48 hours.

How do I contact my friends to tell them to make their payments? We send them an email containing a payment link.

How much time do my friends have to pay? Your friends have 48 hours to make their payment. If they don’t pay their share, the total amount is debited from the main buyer.
