How do I create a cash drop?

- 2Enter the total amount and number of recipients.
- 3Choose Equal Split or Lucky Split.
- 4Pay for the pot and receive your link and PIN.

How do recipients get paid?
Each recipient taps the link, enters the PIN, and adds the phone number linked to their bank. The money is sent to their account through Paystack, subject to verification and the payment partner. Recipients do not need a Goodiebag account and do not download anything to claim.
Which banks can receive money?
Money is sent to phone-linked fintech accounts: OPay, PalmPay, and Moniepoint, which together serve tens of millions of Nigerians. The reasoning is in why Goodiebag supports OPay, PalmPay, and Moniepoint.

Create a GoodiebagIs it safe, and where does my money sit?
Goodiebag is pass-through, so it does not hold your money in a wallet. Funds move from your payment to each recipient's bank at the moment of claim. A claim requires the correct PIN and an available slot, and each slot locks once claimed so no one can claim twice.

Goodiebag charges a small percentage of the drop, which is capped so large drops are not penalised, plus a small flat fee per recipient to cover the bank transfer. The full total is shown before you pay, so there are no surprises afterward. See Goodiebag fees explained for the breakdown.
What happens to money nobody claims?
Unclaimed shares are returned to the sender after the drop closes. You only pay out what people actually claim. Details are in what happens if a Goodiebag is not fully claimed.
Frequently asked questions about Goodiebag
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to download an app to use Goodiebag?+
To claim money, no. You claim through the link in your browser. The downloadable app is for people who create and send drops often, so it is a one-tap habit rather than a requirement.
Can someone claim more than their share?+
No. Each slot locks the moment it is claimed, so no one can claim twice, and a valid claim needs both the correct PIN and an available slot.
How many people can I pay in one drop?+
A single drop can be split across many recipients at once, enough for a class, department, or fanbase. See how to send money to 100 or 200 people at once for the large-group version.
Does Goodiebag ask for my card PIN or OTP to claim?+
No. A genuine claim only asks for the drop's PIN and the phone number linked to your bank. It never asks for your card PIN, bank password, or an OTP. Treat any such request as a scam warning.
What is the minimum I can send?+
There is a minimum per recipient that depends on how you split the drop, so amounts stay meaningful. You will see the applicable minimum when you set up your packet.
How fast does the money arrive?+
Claims are processed and sent to the recipient's bank promptly, subject to verification and the payment partner. Recipients typically see a bank alert shortly after claiming.
