Handling Partial Payments and Adjustments

Keep things fair when amounts change

Life is messy—payments can be too. Splitify lets you accept partial payments, add adjustments, and keep everyone in the loop with a clear history.

Accept partial payments

Record partial amounts as they arrive. We update remaining balances automatically and issue receipts so everyone knows what's left.

Common scenarios

  • Deposits: Someone can only cover part of rent now, the rest on payday.
  • Shared purchases: One person returns an item, so their share drops.
  • Rolling balances: You want to carry over a small remainder to next month.

Apply credits or adjustments

Add discounts, fees, or reimbursements with a short reason (e.g., "credit for outage"). It keeps the history transparent and prevents confusion later.

Stay transparent

Every change is tracked with timestamps and notes. Participants can always see what they owe, what they paid, and why it changed.

Tips for smooth sailing

  • Use short notes to explain partials ("paid $50, remainder $32.20").
  • Align on a simple policy for fees, discounts, or pro-rating.
  • For recurring bills, resolve small remainders monthly so balances don't drift.

Partial payments don't have to be complicated. Splitify makes the math clear and the follow‑through automatic.
