Order Together, Pay Separately: Wolt Malta Launches Split Payments For Group Delivery

No more having a single person foot the bill. Customers can now pay for their own items directly in the app when ordering together with friends, family or colleagues.

Wolt launched Split Payments for Group Orders, making it easier to order together without one person having to pay for everything upfront. Group ordering has long been one of the easiest ways to order together with friends, family and colleagues.

With Split Payments, everyone can simply pay for their own items directly in the Wolt app.

The feature is designed for everyday occasions such as office lunches, student gatherings, family dinners and nights in with friends. In workplace orders, people can also use eligible lunch benefits, including Wolt Benefits, when paying for their share.

Shared costs, such as service and delivery fees, are automatically divided between the group. If the person creating the order has an active Wolt+ membership, the group can also benefit from eligible Wolt+ benefits, including free or discounted delivery.

For many people, having to collect money afterwards is one of the biggest headaches of ordering together. Internal data shows it is also one of the main reasons people abandon group orders before completing them.

‘Food has always been a way for people to come together, but ordering together has not always been as simple as it should be. Too often, one person ends up managing the bill. Split Payments removes that friction, so people can focus on spending time together rather than figuring out who owes what afterwards,’ said Chris Tanti, country representative at Wolt Malta.

How It Works

The way it works is, one person starts a Group Order, selects Split Payments and shares an invite link or QR code with the group. Participants then join the order, add their own items and pay for their share directly in the Wolt app.

Service and delivery fees are automatically divided among the group, and if the host has Wolt+, eligible benefits may also apply to the order. Once everyone has finished adding their items,

the host confirms the order, which is then delivered to a single shared location.

Each participant receives their own payment confirmation and can view their purchase in their order history.

The launch builds on a series of features designed to make every day ordering more convenient, including Gifting, which allows customers to send orders with a personal message; Double Order, which enables ordering from two venues in a single delivery and Scheduled Orders, which lets customers plan deliveries in advance.

With Split Payments, ordering together can finally be as easy as deciding what to order.
