Collect money from a group, the easy way
Splitting a group gift, planning a trip together, throwing a housewarming, organising a hen or stag do? Happy Pot lets you set up a pot in a couple of clicks and get everyone chipping in without the back-and-forth.
Why use Happy Pot to collect money from friends?
Whether it's a group gift, a trip, or splitting the cost of a holiday, keeping track of who's paid what by hand gets messy fast: who's chipped in, who still owes, who's fronted the cash. A pot sorts all of that out at once.
Everyone gives what they want, from their phone, in seconds. Everything's in one place, so nobody's doing maths in a group chat.
With Happy Pot you can:
- Set up a pot in 2 minutes: title, description, photo, done
- Send the link over WhatsApp, email or text to whoever's contributing
- Take contributions by card or TWINT
- Keep more of what's collected: our fees are some of the lowest around
- Withdraw whenever you want, without closing the pot
- See exactly who's chipped in: handy for group pots
How to collect money from a group on Happy Pot
Set up the pot
Give it a title ("Friends trip fund", "Group gift for Julia"...), add a photo and a quick description. Set a target, or just leave it open.
Get everyone in
Share the link however suits you. People give what they're comfortable with, anonymously if they'd rather.
Collect and sort it out
Once the money's in, transfer it to your account. Withdraw more than once if you need to, useful for covering trip costs as they come up.
Everything you need to know
How do withdrawals work?
You can request a transfer at any point. The money goes straight into your account. It takes 1 to 5 business days. No hidden costs: see our pricing page for the full breakdown.
How much should people put in?
Depends on the plan and how many people are splitting it, but roughly:
- A group gift or a housewarming: 30–50 CHF a head is fairly typical
- A trip or holiday with friends: depends on the total cost, split between everyone going
You can suggest an amount right in the pot, so everyone knows roughly what to put in.
