Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to know about Oriva’s flow, security, and how it all works.
What is Oriva?
Oriva is a beautifully simple way to split group payments at restaurants, hotels, and events — in real time.
How does Oriva work?
You scan a QR code at the table, hotel room, or venue. Everyone taps what they ordered, pays their share, and the whole bill is handled instantly.
Is Oriva secure?
Yes — Oriva is powered by Stripe, one of the most trusted payment processors in the world. All transactions are encrypted and processed securely.
Do I need to download an app?
Nope. Oriva works entirely in your browser. Simply scan and go.
Can everyone pay separately?
Yes! Everyone sees the same tab in real time and can split things however they want, evenly or item by item.
How does Oriva handle tips?
You choose your tip on checkout — either a custom amount or a preset. Tips are distributed directly to the business.
What happens if someone forgets to pay?
You’ll see who has paid and who hasn’t. Oriva keeps the bill open until everyone is covered. No surprises.
Where can I use Oriva?
Oriva is launching with restaurants and hotels across the U.S. You’ll see a QR code at participating venues — or just ask your host.
