Tips
- The pledge shows on each person's Commitments tab with “shared by …”.
- With percentages that don't divide evenly (3 × 33.33%), the few cents left over go to the last person.
If something isn't working
It says “The shares add up to $… but the commitment is $…”.
With “Each pays a share” the shares must add up to the full amount. Fix the shares, or choose “Pay it down together”.
It says “This person already paid toward it — move their payments to another commitment first”.
Someone who paid can't be removed. Move their payments away first, or leave them on.
It says “That's the main person on the commitment — use “Move to another person” instead”.
The main person can't be removed from the list. Move the commitment if needed.
It says “Enter a percent between 0 and 100”.
Type the share like 25% (with the % sign) or as dollars.
