How Split With Us Works For Merchants

Zero Cost to Merchants

Split With Us is a completely free service for merchants. You never pay any fees - we only charge a small convenience fee to customers who choose to use the split payment option.

Seamless Stripe Connect Integration

We collect payments from customers through our platform and transfer funds directly to your Stripe account. We absorb all processing fees - the full amount is transferred to you.

Keep 100% of Your Sales Revenue

Unlike other payment solutions, you receive the full purchase amount. No revenue share, no monthly fees.

3-Hour Payment Window

All participants must complete payment within 3 hours, or the order is automatically canceled to protect your inventory.

Customizable Cart Button

Our injected code automatically adds a "Split With Us" button to your checkout flow that seamlessly matches your store design.

Business Model: We charge customers a 3.5% + $0.30 convenience fee per transaction. You receive 100% of your product price, shipping, and tax.
Example Order Amount
Product Price $100.00
Shipping $5.99
Tax $8.50
Merchant Receives $114.49
Split With Us Fee (paid by customer) $4.31 (3.5% + $0.30)
Total Customer Cost $118.80
Important: Orders are automatically canceled if all participants don't complete payment within 3 hours. This protects your inventory and prevents indefinite holds.

Step 1: Install the App

Installing Split With Us on your Shopify store is quick and easy. Simply add the app from the Shopify App Store and authorize it for your store.

1

Find Split With Friends in the Shopify App Store

Search for "Split With Friends" in the Shopify App Store or click the installation link on our website.

2

Authorize the App

Click "Add app" and follow the prompts to authorize Split With Friends for your store. We'll request only the permissions needed to function properly.

3

Complete the Installation

After authorization, you'll be redirected to the app dashboard where you can begin the setup process.

Once installed, Split With Friends automatically registers a script to inject the "Split With Friends" button into your Shopify cart. This requires no theme modifications or coding on your part.

Step 2: Connect Your Stripe Account

Split With Friends uses Stripe Connect to securely process payments from customers and transfer the funds directly to your Stripe account. We collect and absorb all processing fees, so you receive 100% of your sale price, shipping, and taxes.

Connect Your Existing Stripe Account

If you already have a Stripe account, simply click the button below to connect it to Split With Friends.

Don't Have a Stripe Account?

No problem! You can create a new Stripe account during the connection process. It only takes a few minutes.

Security Note: Split With Friends never stores your Stripe credentials. We use Stripe Connect's secure OAuth flow to establish a connection that allows us to create charges on your behalf.

No Paperwork

Since payments go directly to your Stripe account, there's no need for additional tax documents or paperwork with us.

Secure Integration

Our Stripe Connect integration is fully PCI compliant and uses industry-standard security practices.

No Merchant Fees

We absorb all Stripe processing fees. You receive the full amount of your sales with no deductions whatsoever.

Step 3: Customize Your Settings

Customize how Split With Us appears and functions in your store. All settings can be changed at any time from your dashboard.
