Shared Tab: Ability to compile without adding participants

I suppose if there was a situation where you were splitting costs and one participant was short on cash - out of politeness, you might want to wait until they get paid before adding them (but still collate the transactions as and when you pay them).

Couldn’t you just ask the other person to pay you when they get paid?

I think the ability to partially settle a Shared Tab would also help that situation. You can vote for that feature here:

Partially settle a Shared Tab

It would be nice to be able to pay a tab only partially if the amount of money in the account is not enough to pay it 100%. I found myself in a position when I want to repay immediately part of it but I can (example shared monthly mortgage ) but I don’t need to repay the rest. We’d love to use the shared tab but It cannot work like that. Could it be useful? We could use the “request money” feature but we want to keet track of all transactions in the shared tab, it is easier.

Less strong point; If there was uncertainty in vacation expenditure; you might vet the list of transactions as a group, and come up with a finalised list before sending to all the participants.

But wouldn’t you do this as you go along by adding each transaction to a Shared Tab which everyone is already in? That way each person could see exactly what they owe and even pay it off during the holiday.
