Split with Maytes is an alternative payment method at checkout. Built for groups that purchase together.

How Split with Maytes works

  1. One person secures the booking

    The organiser selects Split with Maytes at your checkout, sets the split, and pays their own share.

  2. You get paid in full. Without waiting on the group.

    The booking confirms the moment the organiser commits. You're paid through your normal Stripe settlement, whether or not the group has finished paying.

  3. Each mate receives a PayLink

    Sent by WhatsApp or SMS. They tap, see their share, and pay, no app, no account.

  4. Maytes sends the reminders

    Scheduled reminders go out on the organiser's behalf, with a clear 48-hour deadline. Commitment without the awkward follow-up.

TICKETING

Seats don't wait for groups to sort out who's paying.

Concert pre-sales, sporting finals, festival lineups. Your highest demand inventory disappears in minutes. Split with Maytes captures the group at the moment they decide, before the seats are gone.

TRAVEL

The deposit stage is where group bookings fall apart.

One person fronting $5,000 for a group tour is a big ask. With Split with Maytes, the organiser confirms at the moment of intent while everyone pays their own share. More deposits confirmed. Fewer bookings abandoned.

EXPERIENCES

Your best bookings are group bookings.

Golf bays, bowling lanes, escape rooms. One person organises and fronts the cost. Split with Maytes removes that barrier. Groups that commit together show up together.

RETAIL

Group gifts shouldn't live in one person's cart.

Group gifting, shared household purchases, big-ticket buys. One person fronts the lot and hopes the rest chip in. Split with Maytes lets each person pay their share at checkout, so bigger purchases stop depending on one card.

Frequently asked questions

How does Split with Maytes work?

One person in the group, the organiser, completes a purchase at the merchant's checkout, and provides the name and numbers of the friends they want to split with. At that moment, their card is charged for their share, and Maytes sends their friends a PayLink for their share. Merchants receive the full payment, regardless of what happens with the group. Each friend pays their share via Maytes. If someone doesn't pay within 48 hours, their share is charged to the organiser's held card.

Merchants are paid the full amount, regardless of when, or if, the mates pay their shares back.

Is this buy-now-pay-later?

No, and the distinction is worth understanding. Split with Maytes solves a completely different problem. It's not about one person's pocket, it's about a group of people who all intend to pay, but where one person has to front the entire cost and wait for their friends to pay them back. That friction is what kills group bookings at checkout. Split with Maytes moves that cost across the group at the moment of booking. Every person pays their own share directly, so no one has to be out of pocket.

The two products solve different problems and can sit side by side in the same checkout.

What does the merchant actually receive? A split payment or the full amount?
The full amount, paid to the merchant's account regardless of if/when everyone pays. Once the sale has been completed on the merchant site, the merchant treats it as a confirmed sale, the same process as any completed purchase. Maytes settles with the merchant in full and recover the funds from the organiser and friends. The group's repayment to the organiser happens entirely on Maytes infrastructure, in the background, and has no bearing on what the merchant receives or when.
Do my customers need to download an app or create an account?
No app is required to use Maytes, and organiser's accounts are created automatically when they use the Maytes payments portal for the first time. Friends receive a secure PayLink via WhatsApp or SMS. They tap the link, see the event, their share, and who organised it, and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. No friction. Only the organiser interacts with the merchant's checkout directly.
How does it integrate with our existing checkout?

Split with Maytes sits alongside your other payment options such as Credit Card, Afterpay, PayPal, etc. It doesn't replace your checkout.

One drop-in button plus two API calls: your server creates a checkout, then captures it once the organiser returns. Explore the developer docs at developers.maytes.co.

Is it secure?
Split with Maytes is built on Stripe's payment infrastructure. Payments are processed through Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. Each merchant is set up with a Stripe Connect account as part of the onboarding process.
When do I get paid?
As soon as the organiser completes checkout on your site, Maytes will cover the full amount, and settlement will occur within 48 hours. Not when the rest of the group has paid. The group's repayment to the organiser happens in the background on Maytes infrastructure and has no effect on your settlement timing. Maytes will then recover the amount from the friends and/or the hold on the organiser's payment method.
