The Easiest Way to Collect Group Payments Over iMessage

You paid for the Airbnb. Now you need to collect from six people. You send a Venmo request. One person pays immediately. Two people say "I'll get you later." Three people don't respond. Three weeks pass.

This is the group payment problem. Everyone has experienced it. Nobody has solved it. Until now.

Why group payments are hard

The friction isn't the payment itself. Venmo makes transferring money easy. The friction is the coordination: figuring out who owes what, reminding people, and keeping track of who has and hasn't paid.

Most people do this over text, which means mixing payment logistics with normal conversation. It gets lost. People forget. Nobody wants to be the one chasing everyone down.

A better way

[SettleBlue](/) handles the coordination inside your existing group chat. Add it to any iMessage group and it tracks everything automatically.

When someone pays, they text "I paid" and it's logged. When you need to remind people, text "remind everyone" and the bot DMs each unpaid person individually with exactly what they owe and a pre-filled Venmo link.

The Venmo link approach

Instead of manually sending Venmo requests, SettleBlue generates deep links that open Venmo with the recipient, amount, and note pre-filled. The person paying just taps the link, confirms, and it's done.

Text "settle up" in the group to see who pays who, with Venmo links ready for each transaction.

Setup takes 30 seconds

Add the SettleBlue number to your iMessage group and text "settleblue" to activate. No app, no account, no friction.
