How to send a payment or request
Here’s how to send or request money from the Venmo app:
- Tap Pay/Request at the bottom of the screen
- Use the Search bar to add the person you want to pay or charge, using their name, Venmo username, phone number, or email address
- Enter an amount and add a note
- Tap Request or Pay
To quickly pay or charge one of your top payment partners, you can tap their avatar at the top of the Home tab.
Note: Before you send a payment to someone's phone number or email address, have the recipient confirm that the number or email is verified on their Venmo account. This can help ensure that your payment reaches the correct account.
If you're using Venmo on the web, sign in to your account and click on Pay or Request at the top of the sidebar. Then, fill in the required fields and click Pay or Request.
Paying multiple people
If you want to pay more than one person at a time, you'll need to add everyone as a recipient before sending your payment.
Follow these steps to send a payment or request to multiple people from the Venmo app:
- Tap the Pay/Request button at the bottom of your screen
- Search for or tap on the name of your first recipient
- Next to the first recipient’s name, tap the plus icon (+)
- Search for and select your remaining payment partners
- Tap Next at the bottom of your screen
- Enter the amount of money you’d like to pay or request from each person
- Enter a payment note
- Tap Pay or Request
When you send a payment to more than one person:
- The same payment note will be visible to each your payment partners
- The "Total amount" you enter will be split evenly between your payment partners and yourself, but you can edit individual amounts for each person or remove anyone you don't want to include in the split
