Match with someone in your community, split bulk and BOGO deals, and each pay half.

A real split, exactly as it looks on a community board.

The problem

Sound familiar?

The better way

Three steps to half the price.

And Halvy, the in-app guide, is right there for all three.

Find or post a deal

Browse our curated catalog, or bring your own — paste a link from any store online, or upload a photo of any in-store deal. If it splits 50/50, it’s a Halfsies deal.

You buy it — they pay their half

Once you’re matched, you buy the item yourself — anywhere, in-store or online. Their half is already on hold before you pay at the register.

Meet up and hand it off

Meet at a curated community spot: you hand over their half, they pay you theirs. Both sides confirm, and the hold on their card is released back to them — it never comes to you.

Why it works

Always exactly half. Never “I’ll get you back.”

The math is automatic

The item, the shipping, and the fees — all split down the middle. No awkward math, no “I’ll get you back later.”

You always get your half back

Before you buy anything, your split partner’s half is held on their card. They pay you at the meetup and the hold is released. If they don’t pay, we charge it and pay you. Either way, you’re never out of pocket.

Trusted community meetups

Rated split partners, curated spots picked for safety, and the safety info you need up front — you always know who you’re meeting.

OUR STORY

Bulk pricing was never built for one person.

“A genuinely good price — and completely useless for one person.”

Standing in front of a BOGO shelf, our founder worked out what the sign actually said: this isn’t a discount, it’s a household discount. Buy-one-get-one assumes a second person. A 12-pack assumes somewhere to put it.

The fix should be obvious — find another solo shopper. What stops people is everything that comes with a stranger: whether it’s safe, and whether you’re actually getting your money back when you’re the one who paid.

So we built for both. Everyone in a Halfsies community verifies with a student .edu or work email, and every handoff happens at a vetted spot. And their half is held before you spend a cent — they pay you at the meetup, or we charge them and pay you. The trust problem is the whole problem. It’s answered before you open the app.

FAQ

Quick answers.

When is my card actually charged?

Not until the handoff. Joining a split places a hold on your half — the money is reserved on your card, not taken. At the meetup you pay your split partner directly with any digital payment app that generates a receipt — such as Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App. Avoid cash: a digital receipt is your proof of payment if there’s ever a dispute. They confirm they got it, and the hold is released back to you. The only real charge is the $1 Halfsies fee on a completed split, and your first split is free. If the buyer doesn’t show, your hold is released and you’re never out of pocket.
