How do I split a bill using PayPal?

Here’s how to request to split a bill from your PayPal account:

  1. Click Pay & Get Paid at the top of the page.
  2. Click Get Paid.
  3. Type in whom you want to split with, and click Next.
  4. Click Split a bill, and enter the amount.
  5. We'll generate a money request for each of the people you've chosen.

To request to split a bill on the app:

  1. Tap image Payments.
  2. Tap Request.
  3. Scroll down and tap Split the bill.
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Tip: You can split the cost of existing transactions and transactions you haven't made yet. You may see the words "Split this" in your activity when splitting a bill is available.

You can also split a bill on select partner websites, like Fandango.com. As soon as your checkout is complete, you can send a money request to the people that will share the cost with you. Each person will receive an email with a Pay Now button, making it simple for them to pay you back.

Here's how to split a payment on the supported partner site:

  1. Select PayPal at checkout and log in to your PayPal account.
  2. Select or add friends you'd like to split your bill with, and click Next.
  3. Review the details, and click Request Money.
