Create a group for the night and invite everyone. Each person who paid adds their expenses, and friends claim their items from a link, or the payer assigns them. Slyce merges every payer's expenses into a single simplified plan, so nobody builds a spreadsheet and nobody pays more often than needed.
How it works with two payers
- Make a group for the night. Name it, invite everyone by link or QR code. It takes a few seconds, and the group keeps every payer's expenses together.
- Each payer adds what they paid. Scan the receipt or enter the amount. Leave items unassigned and ask participants to claim them, or assign them yourself.
- Friends claim their own. They open the link, pick their name and tap what they had. Nothing counts until every item has an owner.
- Slyce merges it into one plan. Both payers' expenses and everyone's shares are combined, and the group settles with as few payments as possible.
Worked example: five friends, two payers
You paid for dinner and Dev paid for the bars and a cab. Everyone claimed their own items, and the shares of the night came to: You $55, Dev $50, Ana $40, Ben $45, Chloe $35.
| You paid dinner | $120.00 |
| Dev paid bars and a cab | $105.00 |
| Total for the night | $225.00 |
You paid $65 more than your share and Dev paid $55 more than his. Ana, Ben and Chloe owe the rest. Instead of up to six separate transfers between the three of them and the two of you, Slyce settles it in four:
| Ben pays You | $45.00 |
| Ana pays You | $20.00 |
| Ana pays Dev | $20.00 |
| Chloe pays Dev | $35.00 |
| Payments for the whole group | 4 |
You do not have to chase
Open bills show who has joined, who is done and who is still picking, and you can nudge anyone who has not opened the link. If someone never gets round to it, assign their items yourself and confirm.
When the night is over
Everyone pays the person they owe through that person's own payment details with Slyce Pay, and taps Mark as paid. The group updates as payments are recorded.
Frequently asked questions
What if only one of us paid?
Same flow, with one payer. Share the bill as a claim link and let friends tap their items.
Can both payers add expenses?
Yes. Any member of the group can add expenses, and Slyce combines them into one plan.
What if a friend is not on Slyce?
They can join from the link or QR code without installing the app or creating an account.
Do we have to claim every item?
The bill stays open until every item has an owner. You can assign leftovers yourself.
