Poolsy is a digital group-gifting platform. It lets a group of friends, family, colleagues or parents collect money together for a shared gift, celebration or occasion — all through one private link, with a clear total and a clear list of contributors.
No. Poolsy is not for public fundraising, donations or causes. It's a private group-gifting tool for people who already know each other — friends, family, classmates, teammates, colleagues. Pools are invite-only and built around celebrations and shared gifts.
Anyone can be a pool organiser — a parent, a class rep, a maid of honour, a team captain, a colleague. You just need a mobile number to get started.
Anything that's a private group gift, celebration or shared experience. Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, farewells, teacher gifts, sports tours, weekend trips, group dinners, milestone presents — that sort of thing. Poolsy isn't for medical, charity or public fundraising.
Contributors click your private link, choose an amount, and pay securely through Poolsy's payment flow. No bank details are shared between people, and no one needs to download an app or create an account just to chip in.
Yes — the running total and the list of contributors are visible on the pool page so everyone can see how close you are to the goal. Individual contribution amounts stay private to the organiser by default.
Yes. Payments are processed through a regulated South African payment gateway. Poolsy never stores card or bank details. Every pool clearly shows who created it, what it's for, the target, and the deadline — and our team reviews suspicious activity. Pools are private and invite-only.
Absolutely — this is one of the things Poolsy is built for. Class reps, parent committees, sports teams and school groups can use Poolsy to coordinate teacher gifts, end-of-year collections, sports tours, and other school-related pools. Schools can also partner with us as verified affiliates.
When you're ready, you close the pool. Poolsy transfers the collected money to the organiser's verified account, who then spends it on the gift, experience, or occasion. You can also close a pool early or extend it if you'd like more time.
