Payments on your Stripe
Participant payments run on the merchant’s own Stripe account.
At a glance
Trust summary
No group wallet
PayShare does not operate a shared consumer balance.
Server-side credentials
Long-lived secrets stay on your server; Stripe credentials remain yours.
Confirm from Stripe
Merchants confirm orders from the share payments on Stripe, not the browser.
Controlled session lifecycle
Sessions expire or cancel with clear terminal states.
Refunds from Stripe
Refund a Split session from PayShare in your Stripe Dashboard.
PayShare does not replace your payment provider.
Participant payments run on the Stripe account where PayShare is installed. Payouts, disputes and reporting stay in your Stripe Dashboard.
Secrets stay on your stack.
Install the Stripe app and add Split on checkout. Stripe secret credentials remain in your infrastructure — do not put long-lived secrets in browser code.
Confirmation should follow verified group completion.
Browser success and return URLs are UX only and must not be treated as payment proof. Your systems should confirm bookings from the share payments on your Stripe account.
PayShare is not a stored-value wallet.
PayShare does not create a shared consumer balance and does not hold pooled customer funds. PayShare does not become merchant of record.
Refunds follow your payment provider.
Refund a Split session from PayShare in your Stripe Dashboard. PayShare refunds each participant share on your Stripe account and emails guests. Timing depends on Stripe and the card issuer.
Expiry and cancellation
Group sessions cannot remain open indefinitely. Expired or cancelled sessions cannot accept new join or pay actions. The booking remains unconfirmed through PayShare until the group completes.
Operational visibility
Merchants can see session progress and status in the PayShare Stripe App so support teams understand what happened in a group checkout.
Data and privacy
PayShare applies data minimisation for session orchestration. We may store session references, completion metadata, operational logs, and payer contact details needed for receipts and support — not card numbers. We do not sell personal information.
Patent pending
PayShare has a pending patent application (PCT/NZ2025/050102) relating to split-checkout orchestration for merchant bookings and orders. Patent pending means an application has been filed. It does not mean a patent has been granted.
Responsible disclosure
If you believe you have found a security issue, contact [email protected] or use the Contact page with enough detail for us to investigate.
