Split Card Payments, Instantly!

Built for studios and businesses that work with independent contractors. Each payment is split at the point of sale, with clear records for everyone.

The Solution

Never calculate a split again!

A cleaner way to take payments with contractors

SplitSum lets you collect your fee while your contractors are paid directly, all in one payment, without manual tracking or after-the-fact payouts. Powered by Stripe, one of the world's largest and most trusted payment providers.

Studios use SplitSum to avoid handling contractor earnings, reduce reconciliation and admin, and keep cleaner records as they grow.

ABOUT

Built by a Studio Owner Who’s Been There

SplitSum was created by a tattoo studio owner who experienced first-hand how complicated commission-based card payments can become. When contractors are self-employed but payments flow through one business account, things get messy, and fast.

SplitSum was built to solve this problem.

Today, it supports studios across the UK who work with independent contractors and want payments handled properly, transparently, and automatically.
