Decide together. Pay together.
Group Commerce lets a group make a shared decision about what to purchase or book, then collect individual payments for their chosen option. It combines a decision step with a payment collection step.
Get startedThe problem
Groups stall without structure
Groups often can't agree on an option without a structured process, and organising who pays what is messy by message. Decisions drag on, money collection becomes awkward, and organizers bear all the coordination burden.
Who it's for
Any group making a shared decision
Friends, colleagues, families, or any group making a shared purchase or booking decision. Whether it's a weekend trip, team event, or a group gift -- Group Commerce keeps everyone aligned.
How it works
Two steps: decide, then pay
Step 1 -- Vote on options
The organiser creates a session with the available options and invites group members. Each member indicates their preference. A configurable decision rule (e.g. simple majority) determines the outcome.
Step 2 -- Collect individual payments
Once the decision is settled, the organiser reviews the allocations and sends contribution links to each member. Each person pays their share independently.
Important distinctions
- Voting ≠ payment authorisation
- Session ≠ Finance Group Wallet
