How does split-the-bill work?

Each guest gets a secure link to pay their share of the total. Contributions are tracked live against the booking, and an early-bird discount encourages people to pay sooner.

What happens if a scheduled payment fails?

You're alerted immediately with a failed-charge badge and an automatic retry, so you can resolve it before the event rather than after.

Payments & milestone billing

Get paid on time, automatically — even when a group of thirty owes you.

Deposits, staged milestone balances and split-the-bill are scheduled and charged for you, with failed-payment alerts and a full refund trail — powered by Stripe.

Balances collected without chasing
Groups split the bill themselves
Cash flow you can actually forecast

Chasing balances by hand is where margin quietly leaks away.

A big event might be a deposit, a 50% balance and a final payment across six months — times every booking in the calendar. Doing that manually means missed charges, awkward reminders and cash-flow surprises. Steward automates the whole schedule.

What you get

Everything in Payments & milestone billing, working as one.

Automated milestone charges

Deposit → 50% → final balance schedules are charged automatically to a saved card on the dates you set, no reminders required.

Split-the-bill

Invite everyone in a group to pay their own share, with an early-bird discount to nudge them — each contribution tracked against the booking.

Failed-charge recovery

If a card fails, you're flagged instantly with a retry, so a lapsed payment never becomes a lost booking or an uncomfortable conversation.

Refunds & reconciliation

Issue refunds with a full audit trail and reconcile every Stripe payment against the right booking automatically.
