Making your social life simpler. You ask, We integrate @ MyPoolin

Hi everyone..

Happy to see many of you already using our product for various activities like movies, events, parties, travel and more; cheers for being a part of the MyPoolin community! We are constantly looking for ways to improve your experience as a whole and simplify your social life at the same time. 

That is why, our tagline as evolved to ‘The place to plan and pay with your friends’. I am happy to share some of the key updates from the past few weeks with all of you! 

Firstly, on the partners side, we have added two cool new online partners. One is a SME – OpenWithSmile which basically deals with all kinds of gift cards and vouchers available across the country and other one is of course our very own MakeMyTrip. Both of them now have the option of group-gifting powered by us on their respective websites. That means, that you can basically select gift cards/vouchers directly on their site as well as invite your group of friends or colleagues to collect the money for a combined purchase. Isn’t that cool! 

Second news is on our mobile app front. Since we have been empowering a simplified social payment experience for so many people, we noticed along the way that some people also desired a simpler method to do just 1-to-1 transfers. Hence, in our latest update, we have launched P2P mobile transfers using any of your linked wallets. The flow is pretty simple – 

  1. Simply tap on ‘Pay/Request Money’ from your home screen on the Android app.

    This would show your linked wallet balance (If you haven’t linked your wallet yet, you can do so on the same page by clicking on Link wallet. We will send an OTP to verify it and your wallet would be linked with the app in a few seconds!)

  2. In the search bar, start typing the name of your contact and the list will show up automatically.

    Select the name, enter the amount (and a message (that could even be a code word!)) to pay / request to that person.

  3. And voila! As soon as you hit pay, the money gets transferred to the recipient’s mobile wallet (in this case — Mobikwik wallet) instantly.

    If you want to, you can even share the same with your friends in the app (or outside) with the next screen that comes up.

Since you are busy in your daily lives, let us handle the tough part for you.Go ahead, experience the seamless flow of money like never before.

You ask, we integrate. Feel free to let us know how you like it!

Cheers

UPDATE DEC 7, 2015

Features Fiesta @MyPoolin

It’s been a while everyone…. Hope you all had an amazing festive season and are geared up for some of the cool new features  that we have implemented! 

Without further ado, here they are –

  1. Explore your favorite movies, events and dining deals in a detailed & beautiful view

    First up, we’ve added a brand new event explore section in our Android app to allow you to view event details such as Time, Venue, Booking Details and a ‘What’s cool’ section. Check it out!

  2. Missed Call based verification for new signups

    For the rare cases where the mobile network misses the SMS delivery for registering your mobile on our application, we have now added a simple and convenient solution. You can now just press on the missed call button on the same screen (where OTP is verified) to activate and register by giving us a free missed call.
  3. Use your favorite emoji while chatting or sending payments

    Now you can use emoticons of any kind while chatting with your group of friends in the pool! Also, you can use descriptive emojis like Beer for parties, beach for trips and more!

  4. Add more members seamlessly in your pools on the web

    For all the pools on the website, now you can simply add more people by clicking on ‘Edit shares or invite more people’ on the pool tracker page without worrying about the limit of the total amount. Hence, for example, if the initial total amount for the party / event / gift was Rs. 600 and you want to add another person whose share would be Rs. 200, then after you add him simply using 2 clicks, the total amount becomes Rs. 800 automatically.

We love building our product to the core and we are very excited as we empower all of you to simplify your social life using all the new features! Look out for some more updates over the next week as we launch a couple of new partnerships. 

Cheers

  1. Sorry – how does it work if my friend has a Citrus wallet?

    Also, whats the differentiator here between you and PayTm etc? They do split billing also… as do many others 

  2. Hi Alok

    We believe in adding things step by step rather than all at one go (unlike some other companies). Even though we already have tieup with other wallets like Oxigen and more, we will introduce them soon on the platform after making sure everything works well

    As for the product, I believe the best way is to try it out yourself and see the difference 🙂

    I haven’t seen Paytm do any split payments (p2p is different). Will be happy if you can share a screenshot.

    Cheers

  3. UPDATE – We have now added Oxigen wallet as well in the growing list of payment partners. 

    Go on, try your first movie booking with friends via @mypoolin. Use the promo DEC100 and your Rs. 100 are on us 🙂 

  4. UPDATES –

    1. We are delighted to share that we just added Paytm wallet as well in the growing list of payment partners. 

    2. For those who have not yet explored our recently launched referral system, do check it out – https://medium.com/@mypoolin/launching-referrals-more-820aff6fae45#.c92jnrk28

    3. We have changed the design to a new and awesome one. 

    Do share how you all like it. 

    Cheers
