Post your Cakeday link and your mates shout you real things — a cold beer, a hangover brekky, the whole bar tab — even when they can't be there. And every cent of the menu price lands with you.
Cakeday is an Australian birthday group gift app. Instead of chipping in for one present, the birthday person shares a single link with a menu of themed gifts — a beer, a coffee, a hangover brekky, a $100 bar tab — and mates tap and pay in seconds with Apple Pay or card. The birthday person receives 100% of every menu price as real money, paid straight to their bank by Stripe. It's a birthday registry crossed with a round at the pub: mates pick a thing, so it feels like a gift, not a transfer — and every shout gets thanked with a cheers-back photo.
Your name, the big day, your menu. Or set one up for a mate — you never need their bank details or ID.
Instagram story, the group chat, Facebook. One link does the lot — mates don't need to download anything.
They tap, pick off your menu, pay in seconds. Every shout lands on your tab with a birthday message on the wall.
100% of the menu price, straight to your bank — free in a couple of days, or instantly for a small fee.
Snap the drink they shouted you, and they get the photo back — framed by Cakeday, with their name on it. Mum in Perth sees the bubbles she bought you land in your hand in Melbourne. That's the whole magic, right there.
Beautiful. You only need their first name — never their bank details or ID. Shouts collect on the page while you keep the secret; your mate claims it with their own quick Stripe verification and the money unlocks. Best surprise ever, zero awkwardness.
Nope. They just tap your link, pick off the menu, and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card. The app is for you — your dashboard, your tab, your cheers-back camera.
100% of the menu price, every time. The person shouting pays a small flat fee on top ($3 for most items, $5 for $100+), shown clearly before they pay. There are no other charges.
Standard payout is free and lands in about two business days via Stripe. In a hurry? Instant payout to your debit card arrives in minutes for a small fee (about 1%).
All payments, identity checks and payouts are handled by Stripe — the same infrastructure behind millions of businesses worldwide. Cakeday never holds your money and never sees anyone's card numbers or bank logins.
It's better — it's the money for one. Shouts are gifts of the menu value, paid straight to the birthday person, so they can put it across the bar on the night or towards something bigger. (And no, we don't sell or supply alcohol — 18+ theming, money gifts only, celebrate responsibly.)
Yes — you only need their first name, never their bank details or ID. Shouts collect on the page while you keep the secret; your mate claims it with their own quick Stripe verification and the money unlocks.
Cakeday is made in Australia and launching first on the Australian App Store, with payouts to Australian bank accounts. Mates can shout from anywhere in the world — the link works in any browser.
