Frequently Asked Questions
How do we make sure the birthday person does not pay for their own dinner?
When splitting any restaurant or bar tab in LetzGo, simply uncheck the birthday person from that expense. The remaining total is automatically distributed among all other attendees.
Can we collect money in advance before buying the main gift?
Yes! You can create a payment pool in LetzGo where participants can settle their share ahead of time via UPI directly to the person purchasing the gift.
