Shared Jars

Shared Jar lets one jar show linked jars.

It is useful when a team, venue, or organization wants one QR code or one webapp flow that points to several jars at once.

What a Shared Jar is

A Shared Jar shows a set of linked jars in one place. People choose one or more of those jars, and money goes directly to the jars they select. The Shared Jar itself does not need to receive any money. It connects people to the right jars without making the team flow confusing.

Jars are linked through email invitations.

Why teams use Shared Jars

• one QR code can launch a whole team
• venues can invite staff without rebuilding the experience for each person
• customers can choose the right person or split across the team
• linked jars keep payouts direct to the selected recipients

Invitation flow

If the invited email address does not belong to an existing Kharisma jar:

1. Kharisma sends an invitation email
2. The invited person is asked to sign up and create a jar

If the invited email address already belongs to a jar:

1. That jar's owner receives a notification or invitation
2. They can accept and link their jar into the Shared Jar

What a Shared Jar can do

• show a group of linked jars in one place
• present a folder-like structure inside the webapp
• let givers choose a specific jar or split evenly across the group
• support tips and donations
• simplify venue launch with invite-based setup

What a Shared Jar cannot do

• collect service payments directly

Split behavior

In the webapp, givers can:

• split a tip or donation evenly across linked jars
• choose one specific linked jar

Group and tag examples

Users can organize linked jars into groups, tags, or folders such as:

• Kitchen
• Bar
• Servers
• Cleaning Staff
• Volunteers
• Support Team

Use case examples

• Restaurants can link servers, kitchen staff, and bar teams into one Shared Jar.
• Hotels can link front desk, concierge, and cleaning staff into one Shared Jar.
• Bars can link bartenders and floor staff into one Shared Jar.
• Salons can link stylists, assistants, and front-desk staff into one Shared Jar.
• Churches and nonprofits can organize volunteers, teams, and support roles.
• Creative teams can organize performers, musicians, or collaborators.

Why this matters

A Shared Jar makes Kharisma feel like a team system instead of a single jar.

That helps venues launch quickly while keeping the experience human and clear for customers.
