The organizer adds a participant list and contribution amount — for a colleague's gift, team lunch, or company event. The bot posts an announcement in the Slack channel with a "Pay" button, accepts payments via Stripe, and automatically updates statuses. Those who haven't paid receive a personal reminder — no manual follow-ups, no chasing transfers.

Why it works

💸 One-click payment — right in Slack, no QR codes or bank transfers

🔔 Reminds non-payers automatically — no need to message each person

📊 Real-time statuses — see who has paid and who hasn't

🔄 Any occasion — gifts, lunches, team events, office expenses

Solution KPIs

⏱ −1-2 hours saved per collection — bot handles what was done manually

💳 100% online payments — no cash, no bank transfers

✅ Reminders sent automatically — organizer saves time

📋 All statuses in one table — full transparency for the team

Who it's for

Based on an office gift collection example, adapts for any team dues scenario: HR managers, team leads, event organizers, office managers, Slack workspace admins.

⏱ Launch: upload participant list → set amount and occasion → bot starts immediately.

How it works

The bot works in three steps: the organizer launches a collection and uploads a participant list, the bot posts an announcement in the Slack channel with a payment button, and participants pay directly in the messenger. Non-payers receive automatic reminders, and statuses update in real time in the table.

The bot announces the collection in the channel — participants see the amount and pay with one click right in Slack. No bank transfers, no manual tracking.

Non-payers get a personal message with the amount, deadline, and payment button. The organizer doesn't spend time on follow-up messages.

All statuses in one table: who paid, by which method, who hasn't. The organizer sees the full picture in real time.

What payment systems are supported?

Stripe. Setup takes 1 day — a BuddyBot manager helps with the configuration.
