Onboarding — Up and Running in 5 Steps¶

After registration, a setup wizard guides you through the essentials in five short steps. Every step can be skipped and revisited later in your profile — you don't have to decide anything on the spot.

Step 1: Welcome¶

A greeting with the SplitHappens logo and three short feature highlights:

• Scan receipts — the AI recognizes items automatically
• Assign positions — everyone pays only what they consumed
• Settle fairly — multi-way netting minimizes transfers

Step 2: Your Profile¶

• Choose your display name — how friends will see you in the app
• Tap the avatar placeholder to upload a custom photo from your gallery. Without a photo, you automatically get an avatar from your initials and a color.

Step 3: Personalization¶

One step covers two things at once:

• Currency — the default currency for your bills and your balance. EUR, USD, GBP, CHF and more are directly selectable. Tap "Show all" to reach all 150+ supported currencies.
• Appearance — pick Light, Dark or System. The choice takes effect immediately.

Step 4: Add Friends¶

SplitHappens shows you your personal invitation QR code and the matching link:

• Copy — put the link on your clipboard
• Share — send it directly via messenger, email or AirDrop

This step is optional — you can always invite later from the Friends tab.

Step 5: Ready!¶

A final screen with three tips to get started:

• Photograph your first receipt and let the AI do the work
• You can invite friends any time from the Friends tab
• Payment methods and notifications live in the settings

Tap "Let's go" and you land straight on your dashboard.

1. Open SplitHappens
