Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for a digital wallet for a group of people. A group of customers may gather for an event, e.g., a party, in which each person in the group may purchase goods or services on behalf of the group from a merchant. A customer device executing a digital wallet application program acts like a wallet for the entire group. The customer device creates group tab. The customer device associates images of each person in the group to the group tab, and submits information on the group, including the images, to a merchant device operated by the merchant. The merchant device opens the group tab for managing purchases related to the group. At the end of the event, upon receiving an input to close the tab, the customer device can receive a single bill including a total amount, and divide the total amount among people in the group.
