Bill Splitter application with in-app payment feature.

The problem Split Monk solves

It is observed that during any event that we organize in groups it is very difficult to maintain equal contribution among the amount spent by each individual, With this being the case it often ends up with a “enjoy all - pay one” situation.

After analyzing the problem statement deeply I came up with a Bill Splitter Solution that would solve the problem in the following ways: -

  1. A group is made on the bill splitter application and people can join the group using group code. For better understanding let’s say a group of college friends.
  2. Now, whenever any event is completed (let’s take pizza party as our event) and bills are paid then any one member of the group can create an event on the app mentioning the total amount, and how much amount is paid by each individual.
  3. With the event being created, the application smartly calculates and distributes the total amount according to how much each of them paid, and shows a detailed report of who should pay to whom and how much, in order to equally distribute the total amount.
  4. Also, the application provides a payment feature, so that after the report is generated they can transfer the money using UPI in just one click.

Challenges I ran into

We faced the following challenges while developing the application:-

  1. Thinking of a better and convenient way for people to split bills and remain transparent about that. Trying to give some better features and UX than already existing similar apps.
  2. I faced difficulty in implementing Firebase Realtime Database and then, I went through some videos and blogs and solved it.
  3. I was not able to implement the UPI feature for paying due to time constraints.
