Have any questions?

Can I split the money between the teacher and the TAs?

Yes, you can choose how much to withdraw for each gift. For example, you could use part of the collection to buy gift cards directly through Collctiv and withdraw the remaining balance to your bank account to purchase a present. You decide how to split the funds (the teacher often gets a bit more, since they're doing more of the day-to-day work).

What's the best way to share the pot with the rest of the class?

Share the link or QR code in the class WhatsApp group, or by email if that's how your class communicates. Parents can pay in without needing an account.

Can I set a deadline so it's ready before the end of term?

Yes, you can set a payment due date and close the pot manually whenever you're ready, which stops any further payments coming in. It's worth doing this a few days before you actually plan to buy the gift so you've got time to withdraw the money and go shopping.

How can I show parents exactly how the money was spent?

You can choose to show contributors how much has been collected by setting a target for the pot , although payees can choose to remain anonymous there. You can also share what the money went on so there's no ambiguity or awkward questions later.

Can I suggest how much each person should pay?

Yes, when you set up or customise a pot, you can add a suggested amount, and it'll pre-fill that figure for anyone who opens the payment link. The contributor can still choose a different amount if they wish.

Can parents leave a message when they pay, to go in the card?

Yes, parents can add a personal note along with their payment, which you can then pull together and print or copy into the teacher's card.
