How to sign up for the first time
You've subscribed and become a premium user. Now create your account and set up your profile — this video walks you through it step by step. (App language and subtitles in English.)
Create your first group
With your profile ready, it's time to create your first group. This video shows you how to create and set up a group, then add members and invite friends and family to join.
Joining a group
Got an invite? This video shows you how to join an existing group with an invite code, and gives you a tour of the Groups view — where your groups, members, and shared events all live.
Creating your first event
Groups organize spending into events — a trip, a dinner, a night out. This video shows you how to create an event, add the people involved, and customize it to fit the occasion.
Manage your expenses within an event
This is where paylash does the heavy lifting. Learn how to add expenses to an event — choosing who paid and splitting the cost equally or itemizing it line by line. Customize each one with its own date, avatar, tip, and the exact people who took part.
Settling and tracking payments
Once the spending's done, lock the event and settle up. This video shows you how to view everyone's balances, read the settlement plan that lays out who pays whom, and check off each payment in the tracker until the whole group is square.
The web app — from sign-up to settlement
paylash isn't just for your devices — it runs right in your browser. This video walks through the whole web app: signing up and signing in, then browsing your groups, events, and expenses, and reviewing balances, the settlement plan, and the settlement tracker.
