Party Pot is a simple, thoughtful way to come together and give better. Instead of buying random gifts, friends and family pool money into one pot for something truly meaningful.

You create a pot, share the link with friends and family, everyone contributes, and once you close the pot the funds are released to you.

You can share your pot link however you like. Send it by WhatsApp, text, or email, or copy the link to share on your socials.

Once your pot reaches its closing date, we’ll send you a reminder so you don’t miss it!

If no action is taken within that time, your pot will be marked as “expired”. The funds will remain safely held by our payment provider (Stripe) for up to 6 months. After that period, unclaimed balances may be refunded to contributors where possible, or handled in line with our unclaimed funds policy.

We do this to keep things secure and compliant, and to make sure money never just sits around forgotten.

Right now, Party Pot is only available in the UK.
