Pay for what
you ordered.Nothing else.

STEP 1

The check lands on the table

Getting it into the app, in whatever form it arrived.

• Point the camera at it Halver finds the edges, straightens the receipt, and reads the items and prices.
• The reading happens on your iPhone Your phone does it itself. There is no cloud receipt recognizer, and there will not be one.
• It tells you when the scan is off The review screen says in plain words whether the items add up to the printed total, and stops you on a bad scan.
• Already have it as a photo, a screenshot or a PDF Pick it from your camera roll, or send it in with the normal Share button. Forwarded email receipts land in the app's Inbox.

STEP 2

You show a QR code

The only thing you ask anyone to do all night.

• They point a camera and they are in The check opens in their phone's browser — no install, no account.
• Nobody has to ask whether you got the wings Other people's claims land on your screen a second or two after they tap.

• The friend who will not get their phone out Add them by name and claim their items for them. They are still in the split, and they never touched anything.

STEP 3

Everyone taps what they ordered

Claiming, on whichever screen each person happens to be holding.

• Everyone taps their own stuff The check comes up as a list of items and prices. Each person taps theirs and watches their own total add up.
• Split the nachos Claim a whole item, or a share of it — a half, a third, a quarter. On a line like “3 Beers,” say how many were yours.

• Mark the appetizers as everybody's Tap the calamari and the bottle of wine as shared, and they are divided across the table.
• Two people claimed the same steak You see every claim on that line and can trim one or clear it.

STEP 4

The math sorts itself out

No arithmetic at the table, and no round number that quietly costs someone.

• The salad-and-water person does not subsidize the steak Tax, tip and any service fee land in proportion to what each person actually ordered — never a flat split down the middle.
• When three different cards went in Halver keeps the receipts straight and gives each guest one number per person they owe — one “Pay Andy,” one “Pay Priya” — not a stack of charges.
• What nobody claims does not get dumped on the group An item nobody tapped, or a share left behind by someone who went home early, goes on the tab of whoever paid that receipt.

• You owe them, they owe you: one payment If two people each covered part of the other's check, Halver cancels the smaller against the larger so money moves once, in one direction.

STEP 5

Everybody pays you back

Handoff, confirmation, and the paper trail.

• Pay with whatever you already use Tap Pay and hand off to Venmo, Cash App or PayPal with the amount already filled in. For Zelle® payments, Halver copies the host's handle for you to paste into your bank's own app. Halver never touches the money.
• No card numbers, no bank logins All Halver keeps is a Venmo username, a Cash App tag, a PayPal link or a phone number — the things you would text a friend.
• “Paid” means the money actually showed up They mark that they sent it; you confirm when it lands in your own payment app. Your confirmation is the one that counts, and you can check off whoever paid cash.

• Bill the friend who never signed up Type in their email at close and send a one-off itemized bill with a link to pay you. Every one carries an opt-out link.
