How to use SportsPay
Collect cricket match fees over WhatsApp. You type a few slash-commands in your team’s group; SportsPay splits the ground fee equally, gives each player a secure pay link, and tracks who has paid.
The chat images below are illustrative mockups rendered from the bot’s actual replies.
1. Start a match & set the roster
Create a match with the total ground fee, then send the team (one name per
line; add +1, +2 for guests). The fee is split equally
— the organizer is never counted — and each player gets their own pay link.
2. Confirm payments & see status
Anyone can confirm a payment with /paid <name>.
/status shows a consolidated board across all open matches.
3. One combined link across matches
/payall group posts one combined link per player covering
everything they owe across all open matches.
4. The payment page
Tapping a link opens the secure checkout page with the player’s name and exact amount, then Razorpay handles Cards, UPI, Netbanking and Wallets. On success the player is auto-marked paid.

+1,+2after a name; they pay that many shares. - Match id is optional — skip it when one match is active.
