Stop the front-and-chase
One person shouldn't float the cabin or dinner and text friends for Venmo. Everyone pays before the order goes through.
They split evenly, pick amounts, or split by item. When everyone has paid, you get a single charge. If the group stalls, everyone is refunded.
A shopper picks Ante at checkout — next to Card, Apple Pay, whatever else you already offer.
Split evenly, pick custom amounts, or split by line item. Share the link by SMS or email.
Everyone pays their own share from the link. No accounts, no app download.
When the group is fully funded, you get one payment. If someone bails, everyone is refunded.
Ante sits next to Card and Apple Pay. When friends want to buy together but only one person can check out, that order used to fall apart over Venmo. Now it doesn't have to.

Split the room and people take the larger one. Same checkout, larger total — you don't need a discount to get there.
You get paid when the group is fully funded. If someone drops out, everyone is refunded. No half-paid mess to unwind.
No setup fee, no monthly minimum, no contract. Merchant fee starts at 3.5% on settled groups and drops to 1.75% at Elite. Shoppers see a flat dollar fee on their share, not a percentage.
Solo checkouts skip Ante entirely — your normal rate still applies. On group checkouts we take the merchant fee only after the group has fully paid. That fee starts at 3.5% (Standard) and goes down to 1.75%at Elite. Shoppers see something like “Ante Group Fee: $0.29,” never a percentage on screen.
Put Ante next to the payment options you already have. We only tell your store the order is ready once the group has fully paid.
Create a merchant account, connect Stripe, and put Ante next to your other payment buttons. Or try the live demo at splitshop.dev first and pay as a group yourself.
