The feature allows users to automate calculations via receipt scanning or manual entry, integrating payment monitoring within a single digital platform.",
        "content": "<p>The activity of splitting bills has become a common transactional\nhabit, particularly during group dining, social gatherings, and\ncollective activities. The development of digital payment services is\nfurther driving this process to become more practical.<\/p>\n<p>This demand is now being addressed through the Split Bill feature on\nthe ShoperPay application. The feature enables users to divide bills\nwith friends by either photographing receipts or entering amounts\nmanually.<\/p>\n<p>Through this feature, users can determine each person\u2019s share of the\nbill, distribute it to friends, and monitor payment status in real-time.\nThe process, which previously required a combination of calculators,\nreceipt photos, messaging apps, and separate transfers, can now be\ncompleted within a single service.<\/p>\n<p>Eka Nilam Dari, President Director of ShopeePay Indonesia, stated\nthat the development of digital payment services must keep pace with the\nchanging needs of society in daily transactions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSplitting bills has become part of various daily activities. Through\nthe Split Bill feature, we want to make the process more practical, from\ndividing the bill to monitoring the payment status directly through the\nShopeePay application,\u201d said Lala, the nickname for Eka Nilam Dari, on\nWednesday (30\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The Split Bill feature can be used by scanning or uploading a photo\nof a receipt. The system then reads specific information from the\nreceipt, which users can verify before the bill is shared.<\/p>\n<p>Users can then select the friends participating in the split and\nassign specific items or portions of the bill to each person. Once the\nSplit Bill is created and shared, the payment status can be monitored in\nreal-time.<\/p>\n<p>For transactions without a receipt, users can enter the bill amount\nmanually. After entering the name and total amount, users can select the\nparticipants and determine each individual\u2019s payment amount.<\/p>\n<p>This process can also be used for recurring activities with the same\ngroup of people. The application can display recent groups so that users\ndo not need to repeat the member selection process when creating\nsubsequent Split Bills.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to receipt photos and manual input, Split Bills can be\ngenerated from various eligible ShopeePay transaction histories,\nincluding QRIS transactions, online payments, and ShopeeFood\ntransactions.<\/p>\n<p>The development of this feature demonstrates the evolving role of\ndigital payment services in daily life. Digital wallets are no longer\nused solely for completing payments but are also beginning to provide\nfunctions related to managing shared transactions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy combining the processes of calculation, bill splitting, and\npayment monitoring into one feature, the Split Bill service serves as a\nform of technological adaptation in payment services to meet the\nincreasingly common need for shared transactions in society,\u201d said\nLala.<\/p>\n<p>She added that information regarding the Split Bill feature and its\nterms of use can be obtained through the ShopeePay application and\nofficial channels. Users are also advised to ensure that information\nregarding services or promotions is obtained through official channels\nto avoid links or offers impersonating ShopeePay.<\/p>",
