Double-check all email addresses because invitations will be sent to each payee.
6. Verify the split totals and submit 3:06

If the total is not 100%, correct the percentages before continuing.
Review the form for accuracy.
Check I Agree on Terms and Conditions.
Click Zplit it to create the split setup.

Other client communication channels
Inform the client that payment is processed securely through Stripe.
9. Client completes payment and payouts are routed 4:24
The client opens the link and sees the payment page.
The client reviews the amount and client name shown on the page.
The client completes payment using available methods, such as:
Credit card
Bank transfer
Other supported payment methods
Once payment clears, Split automatically routes payouts to the collaborators entered in the setup.
Cautionary Notes
Ensure Stripe is connected before creating a split link.
Verify all collaborator email addresses carefully; incorrect emails may prevent invitations and payouts from reaching the right people.
Make sure the split percentages total exactly 100% or the system will return an error.
Confirm the client name and total amount are correct before generating the link.
Review and accept the Terms and Conditions only after confirming all details are accurate.
Tips for Efficiency
Prepare all collaborator names, emails, and percentages before opening the split form.
Use a consistent naming convention for clients and payees to reduce errors.
Keep split percentages simple and balanced when possible.
Copy and store the generated link immediately after creation for easy sharing.
Test your workflow with a sample split first if your team is new to the process.
