Everyone chips in what they want, wherever they live, and nobody sees who gave what. Your friend picks their own gift, gift cards or a prepaid Visa card, and opens a KadoBook of everyone's names and messages.
Add your friend, choose the closing date, and turn on "Surprise pool" if you like. It takes about two minutes.
Invite your friends
Invite them by e-mail from the app, so the reminders reach them, and drop the link in the group chat too. Everyone chips in by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, from any phone or computer, with no app or account.
Let the reminders do the chasing
With automatic reminders on, KadoPool nudges the people you invited by e-mail who haven't chipped in yet, about 3 days and 12 hours before the closing date. You see who has chipped in, never who gave what.
Send the gift
Your friend opens it in the KadoPool app: everyone's names and messages, then gift cards or a prepaid Visa card.
Anyone with the link can chip in, wherever they live, with a card from any country.
December birthdays, holiday hosts and farewells
The occasions friends plan together: a birthday that deserves its own day, the friend who hosted all year, the one who's moving away.
What it costs
Organizing is free. Each payment carries the card processing and KadoPool's 2% fee: about $1.53 on a $25 gift. You choose whether it comes out of the gift or is added on top. See pricing
Questions
Do my friends need the app?
No. They chip in from the link on any phone or computer. Only you, to set up and send the gift, and your friend, to open it, use the app.
Can friends abroad chip in?
Yes. Anyone with the link can pay by card, wherever they live.
Can I keep it a surprise?
Yes. Turn on "Surprise pool" and the person you're thanking hears about it only when you send the gift.
What if someone pays late?
The pool takes payments until its closing date. A payment after that is refunded in full, automatically. You can move the date later to reopen the pool, until you send the gift.
What does it cost?
Organizing is free. About $1.53 on a $25 gift, and you choose whether it comes out of the gift or is added on top.
Start the group gift
