Question 1

Can we add new people to the pool?

Accepted Answer

Guests come in all shapes and sizes—last-minute RSVPs, long-lost relatives, ‘Maybe’s that turn into ‘Yes!’s. It’s easy to loop in (and vice-versa, remove) people from your pool.

Question 2

It takes a village to host a baby shower. Can more than one of us admin our pool?

Accepted Answer

Braid is meant for groups. Your pool can be managed solo, or you can invite other people to manage the pool with you

Question 3

Does everyone have to download Braid to contribute?

Accepted Answer

Collect money from your friends, their friends, and their friends’ friends with a simple link share of your Pool page.

Question 4

Everyone’s busy, but the big day is approaching and we’re still waiting on [name redacted]. How can we make sure everyone remembers to contribute to our pool?

Accepted Answer

Send a simple reminder to your Pool contributors so everyone remembers to chip in. That spiffy new stroller isn’t going to roll itself to the party…

Question 5

Does Braid charge fees?

Accepted Answer

No fees are collected, so you keep 100% of what you pool. You’re celebrating the soon-to-be parents in your life—and a new life! That shouldn’t come with fees.

Question 6

How many debit cards can we get for each pool?

Accepted Answer

Each member of a Braid pool can get their own debit card for spending; for one-time occasions, however, it might be easier to stick with one. Up to you! The Braid debit card lets you spend from the pool instantly. For each member, you can set spending permissions like daily spending limit or if they can spend from the pool at all!
