How do payment requests work?

A payment request is a direct ask for money from members: a set amount, split across the people you pick, each with their own SEPA QR code to pay against. It is the tool for one-off collections that are not usage billing (a buy-in, an insurance top-up, a shared purchase).

Creating one

1. Open Money, tab Collect, and click New Payment Request (admins and owners only)
2. Give it a title, an amount and an optional due date
3. Pick the members and the split: equal, by ownership percentage, or custom per member
4. Create it; every selected member gets their own reference and QR code

Getting paid

• Members see the request on My Balance and pay by scanning the SEPA QR with their banking app (or online, when the group has card payments set up)
• The list shows who has paid and who is still open, with a progress bar per request
• Admins can mark a member's part as paid manually when the transfer arrives with the reference

Good to know

• The group bank account (IBAN and account name) must be configured first, in Group settings, or creating requests is blocked
• A payment request is not an invoice: usage is billed through Invoices and Automatic Invoicing instead
