How do I collect money for a group gift with PayShap?

Send each contributor a Payment Request via PayShap from the GoTyme Bank app. It lands in their banking app with the amount and reference already filled in, they tap to approve and the money is in your account instantly. Sending the requests is free, so the whole contribution goes to the gift.

Why it works for office farewells and birthdays

The person collecting usually ends up chasing cash in envelopes or scrolling through bank notifications to see who has paid. With a Payment Request via PayShap you get a notification as each person contributes, so you know your total at a glance and can buy the gift with confidence.

Tips for the organiser

• Agree on an amount up front. A set amount per person keeps things simple and fair.
• Use a clear reference. Something like "Thandi farewell gift" so nobody wonders what the request is for.
• Keep it a surprise. Remember to send requests to the group, not the guest of honour.
• Set a deadline. Ask everyone to approve by a set date so you have time to shop.

Not everyone wants to pay a set amount? Share your cellphone number instead and let people send what they like with an Instant Payment via PayShap. Payment Requests via PayShap can be sent to anyone who banks with African Bank, Capitec, FNB, Nedbank or Standard Bank.
