Calculate the share from the expense.
Suppose a $240 boat cost was shared by four travelers. Each owes $60 for the boat. The person who paid the boat company is a traveler too, so they carry their own $60 share and are owed $180 by the other three.
Record who sent money to whom.
If Ahmad sends Sherif $25, record a $25 transfer from Ahmad to Sherif. Ahmad still has $35 open for the boat. The payment is not a reduction of the $240 boat expense: the boat still cost $240, and Sherif still paid the company in full.
Let the recipient confirm receipt.
The sender can mark $25 as sent and attach a payment screenshot. The recipient checks their account and confirms or declines it. Until confirmation, show the transfer as pending and keep the open balance unchanged. A recipient-specific payment link helps the sender pay the right person, but it does not prove that payment happened.
Preserve credit if a share falls.
If Ahmad had already sent $60 and two more travelers join the boat split, his share drops to $40. Keep the confirmed $60 transfer. The extra $20 becomes a credit in the trip balance. Show the old payment and the new share side by side so everyone can see why the remaining amount changed.
