> Shared expenses, without the chasing.

ChippIn is a web app for organising a shared expense around an event. An organiser creates an event, sets the total cost and the share for each person, and sends one link. Attendees can join without an account. The organiser can see who is joining and who has paid. ChippIn can email payment reminders to attendees who opted in and still have an unpaid contribution.

## Public pages

- [Home](https://www.chippin.com.au/): Product overview, how it works, features, use cases, and a contact form
- [Sign in](https://www.chippin.com.au/login): Sign in to an existing account
- [Create an account](https://www.chippin.com.au/sign-up): Create an account. After sign-up, the person can create an event

## How it works

1. Create an event with the details, total cost, and attendees.
2. Share the event link with everyone who needs to contribute.
3. Track who has joined, who has paid, and what is still outstanding.
4. Let ChippIn remind attendees whose contribution is still unpaid.

## Organisers

- Create an event with a date, location, capacity, total cost, currency, and per-person share
- Share a join link
- Add attendees, including people who do not have an account
- Mark an attendee as joining or not joining, and as paid or unpaid
- Read payment-reminder status for an attendee

## Attendees

- Join an active event with their name, phone, and email
- Opt in to email payment reminders
- Create an account so their events appear on the dashboard
- Cancel joining later if they have an account

## Payment reminders

Reminders are email only. A reminder is sent only when the event is active, the attendee is still joining, they are unpaid, they have a valid email, they consented to reminders, and fewer than 5 payment reminders have already been sent for that attendee on that event.

## Contact

The homepage contact form stores a name, email, subject, and message for the ChippIn team. Submitting the form does not send an email by itself.

## Private pages

Dashboard and event URLs require a signed-in user. They are not public product pages and are not meant to be indexed or quoted as marketing pages.

## What this site does not claim

The public site does not publish customer counts, payment volume, testimonials, reviews, or customer logos.
