One pool for the gift. Everyone in it can see it. Tadapool isn't a bill splitter. It's the simple, transparent way friends, colleagues and family chip in for a birthday, a wedding or a farewell — and decide together what to buy. Nobody is assigned a share. One person starts the pool, everyone gives what they like, and the whole group sees the same numbers. THREE STEPS, THEN IT RUNS ITSELF 1. Start the pool Name the occasion, pick a date and a currency, set a target if you want one — or leave it open. Choose how people can pay you: Bizum, Wise, bank transfer, cash. 2. Invite your people Pick friends from your list, or drop a link in the group chat. They say yes or no, so you know who's actually in before you count on the money. Nobody outside the pool can see it. 3. Chip in and choose Everyone contributes what they like and leaves a note. Suggest gift ideas, vote on them, and watch the pool fill. BUILT FOR THE AWKWARD BITS • Invite, then know — Being added isn't the same as agreeing. People say "count me in", and only you, the organiser, see who hasn't replied yet. • One number, same for all — Every contribution is listed with who, when, how and a note. No private spreadsheet, no "did you get mine?" messages. • Decide the gift together — Suggest ideas with a price and a description, vote, and let the top choice win. The group picks the present, not the loudest person in the chat. • Pay however you already pay — Bizum, Wise, bank transfer or cash. You publish the instructions once; contributors see exactly where to send it. • Hide the amount — Give what you can without it being a scoreboard. Others see that you chipped in; only the organiser, who has to reconcile the money, sees how much. • Join with a link — Whoever opens it joins as invited. They still say yes or no, you still see the whole list, and the pool stays yours to close. • Nudges, not nagging — People are notified when they're invited, when someone chips in and when the gift is chosen. You send one reminder instead of ten messages. FRIENDS AND HELD MONEY Somebody is always holding somebody's cash. A friend hands you €20 at dinner for a gift t. That money is real, it is theirs, and until now it lived in your head. They log it, you accept it, and it becomes a balance between the two of you. Then, when the pool comes, you put some or all of it in under their name: their balance drops by exactly what you spent, the pool goes up by the same, and nobody counts it twice. • Two sides, never netted into one confusing number — what you hold and what they hold stay separate, in each currency. • Nothing lands on a balance until the other person accepts it. A balance is never a claim one of you made alone. • Every request keeps its amount, method and date, waiting on whoever owes the answer. No TADAPOOL NEVER TOUCHES THE MONEY There is no wallet, no card on file and no payment processing. People pay the organiser directly, the way they already do — Tadapool keeps the record so everyone can see the same thing. That's why it's free, why there are no fees, and why nothing is ever held up in transfer. • Invite-only, always. Every pool is private: only the people you invite can see the amout. • A record, not a transaction. Saying "count me in" charges nothing — you choose the amount and pay when you're ready. • History that can't be quietly edited. Contributions carry who recorded them and who acc Start a pool for the next birthday — tadapool.com
