Photograph the receipt and Slyce reads the items. At the table, open live mode so everyone taps their own items, or send a claim link if people have left. Tax and tip are shared in proportion, and each person pays the payer through the payer's own payment details, then taps Mark as paid.
Which way to assign?
Scanning gives you the items. After that there are three ways to say who had what. Use whichever fits the moment, and mix them on the same bill.
| Live mode | Claim link | Assign it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| When | Together at the table | Later, from anywhere | Any time |
| Who taps | Everyone, on their own phone | Each friend, their own items | You |
| Best for | A group finishing in minutes | People who have left, or are slow | Small tables, quick bills |
| Connection | Needs one | Works asynchronously | Works offline |
Two or three people can finish a bill for a table of ten in live mode. All three end in the same place: a finalized bill that updates balances.
How settling works, step by step
- Everyone sees their share. Once the bill is final, each person sees exactly what they owe, with tax and tip shared in proportion to what they ordered.
- They open the payer's details. The payer saves their payment details once (PayPal, Revolut, Venmo, bank transfer and more). Everyone else sees them next to the amount.
- They pay in their own app. Slyce opens the payment app or shows the details to copy. Slyce never moves the money itself.
- They tap Mark as paid. Slyce cannot see transfers made in other apps, so the balance clears when the person confirms. Paid in cash? Mark it as paid too.

Tax and tip, shared fairly
Tax and tip scale with what each person ordered, not an equal cut for everyone. If you had 10% of the food, you cover about 10% of the tax and tip. The restaurant bill guide explains the maths if you want to do it by hand.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take?
Scanning, assigning and settling can all happen at the table. In live mode two or three people can finish the bill for a group of ten.
Do the others need to install Slyce?
No. Friends can join through a link or QR code without installing the app or creating an account.
What if two people ordered the same dish?
Set the quantity and assign each unit, or share the item between the people who had it.
What if the payer has not added payment details?
Others can ask them to add details, or pay another way and tap Mark as paid.
