70% of online checkouts are abandoned

Baymard Institute's research shows the average online cart abandonment rate is ~70%. PayShare isn't here to squeeze extra margin out of the customers you already convert — it's here to win the customers you're currently losing. When a purchase involves a group, checkouts stall because one person has to front the full amount. PayShare lets multiple people pay their share at checkout, so more "maybe later" checkouts turn into real, completed bookings.

Where PayShare is a must-have

If people are splitting it anyway, checkout should split too. PayShare turns the awkward "who's fronting it?" moment into a clean, multi-pay checkout flow — without chasing transfers.

Accommodation & group stays

Pain: Nobody wants to front the entire stay — and it kills bookings.

PayShare: Everyone pays their share upfront. Booking completes when the group completes.

Tickets, festivals & time-sensitive drops

Pain: One person buys, then spends days chasing money — or doesn't buy at all.

PayShare: Split the checkout instantly so the group commits together.

Venues & experiences (bookings, deposits, activities)

Pain: Deposits are the worst part of group planning — someone always gets stuck.

PayShare: Split deposits or full payments across the group.

Hospitality & group orders

Pain: Nobody wants to be the person asking for a small amount back later.

PayShare: Split it cleanly at the moment of purchase — no awkward follow-ups.

Clubs, teams & recurring groups

Pain: One organiser ends up being the unpaid accountant.

PayShare: Share one link, track progress, finish when it's fully covered.

B2B invoices, quotes & shared procurement

Pain: Deals stall when more than one person needs to pay.

PayShare: One invoice — multiple payers — one completion event.

The awkward tax is real.

Group purchases fail when one person has to front the whole cost — not because people don't want it, but because money gets socially messy. PayShare makes everyone commit at the moment they say yes.

Is PayShare a fit for your business?

  • You sell things people buy together
  • The purchase has friction around who fronts it (big or awkwardly small)
  • You want higher conversion + less admin chasing transfers
