How to split a booking deposit with friends on Mosey

On a booking that needs a deposit, you can split the deposit with friends. Choose Split with friends on the deposit screen, save your card, add the friends from Mosey who are coming and send each one their share. Each friend gets a message with their share and pays it in the app. If a friend has not paid 12 hours before the booking, their share is charged to your card so that the place is paid, and your booking is locked in.

Where do you find the split option?

On the deposit screen, which is headed Deposit required, there is a Split with friends option beside the pay button. It shows the total deposit at the place and the number of guests. Tap it to start.

How do you set up a split?

1. Save your card. The first step is titled Split with friends, and asks you to save your card with the button Save my card. This is the safety net: it is what pays any share that is not paid by friends in time. Card details are handled by Stripe, and Mosey does not store them.
2. Add your friends. The next step is titled Add your friends. Search Mosey friends by name or username, and add the people who are coming. The screen shows the maths, for example the total divided by the number of people, and about how much each one pays.
3. Send the shares. The button reads Send shares, with the number of shares. Each friend is messaged with their share, and you see a message that your friends have been messaged.

You need to add at least one friend to continue.

What do your friends see?

A message with the place, the booking and the amount of their share, with a button to pay. They can pay straight away. The booking shows how many shares have been paid, for example "2 of 4 paid", and how much has been collected out of the total.

What happens if a friend does not pay?

The screen states the rule: if a friend does not pay 12 hours before the booking, their share is charged to your card, so the place is paid. When the shares are settled, you see the message that the deposit is settled and the booking is locked in. If you cancel the split, the screen says so, and any shares already paid are handled under the place's cancellation rule.

Can you pay your own share the same way?

Yes. Your share shows as Your share is due until you pay it, and then as Your share is paid. Tap the amount to pay.

What if the split fails to start?

The app tells you if it could not load the payment form, set up your card or start the split, and asks you to try again. Check your connection and a card that is not expired.

Can you use a voucher as well?

Yes. A voucher can be applied to the deposit before it is split; see reservation deposits and refunds.
