Group gift
Collect money for a group gift without chasing anyone
Office farewells, teacher gifts, a friend's big birthday: one person organizes, everyone chips in. Share one page with the gift, let people give any amount, and see at a glance who has paid.
One link for everyone
Share it in the group chat or the office Slack. No account needed to chip in.
Any amount or fixed shares
Let each person choose, or split the gift into equal shares so it adds up exactly.
See who paid
Each contribution comes with a name and a message, and you confirm when it reaches your account.
Messages for the card
Contributors leave a note, so you also collect the words for the card.
How to collect money for a group gift
Pick the gift (or a fund, like "a weekend away for Sarah"), set a suggested share or let people choose the amount, add your Venmo, Zelle or PayPal, and share the link with a deadline. As people chip in, you get notified with their name and message — no spreadsheet of "who still owes".
Why not just a Venmo request?
Requests work between close friends; in a group of coworkers they feel like a bill, and the organizer still has to match payments to names. A group gift page explains what the money is for, lets people choose how much to give and keeps the messages together for the card.

How it works
Step 1
Build your registry
Add gifts with a photo and a price, split big ones into shares, or create cash funds where guests choose the amount.
Step 2
Choose how you receive
Add the accounts you already use — Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal and more. Up to six at once.
Step 3
Publish and share one link
Pay $19.00 once and your site is live for 12 months at presentou.com/your-names.
Step 4
Guests send gifts to you
They pick a gift, leave a message and pay with their own app. You get notified and confirm with one tap.

Questions
Is there a fee to collect money for a group gift?
Presentou charges no fee on contributions — they go directly to the organizer's own payment app or bank. You pay a one-time $19 to publish the page for 12 months.
Does Presentou take a cut of the gifts?
No. Guests send money straight to your own Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App or bank account. Presentou never holds the money and charges no fee on gifts — you pay a one-time $19 to publish your registry for 12 months.
Do my guests need an account?
No. Guests open your link, pick a gift, leave a message and pay with the app they already use. No sign-up, no password.
How do I know who sent what?
When a guest says they paid, you get an email and a notification with their name, the gift and the amount. You check your account and confirm with one tap — and you have everything you need for thank-you notes.
Can I build the registry before paying?
Yes. Creating your registry, adding gifts and designing your site is free. You only pay when you're ready to share it with guests.
