Yes, you can run multiple group pots at the same time on Potje. And honestly, it is one of the most useful things about the platform.

If you are the person your friend group, sports team, or office always turns to when money needs collecting, you already know the feeling. One collection for the holiday. Another for the leaving gift. A third for the team dinner. Suddenly you are juggling three WhatsApp threads, two spreadsheets, and a growing list of people who "will pay later."

There is a better way to manage it all from one place.

This guide walks through exactly how multiple pots work on Potje, why keeping them separate actually makes your life easier, and how to stay on top of everything without losing track.

Why Organisers Often Run More Than One Pot at the Same Time

Most people do not plan to become the group's money manager. It just happens.

You organised the ski trip last year and it went smoothly. Now you are the go-to person for every collection. Before long, you are running:

• A holiday fund for a group of eight friends

• A birthday collection for a colleague leaving next month

• A sports club pot for kit and match fees

Each group is completely different. Different people, different goals, different timelines.

Trying to manage all three through one shared pot would be a disaster. Money gets confused, contributions get mixed up, and nobody knows which payment is for what.

Keeping each collection in its own dedicated pot is the only approach that actually works.

How Multiple Pots Work on Potje

Potje lets you create and manage as many separate money pots as you need, all from a single organiser account.

Each pot is completely independent. It has its own:

• Goal amount and progress tracker

• Contribution link to share with that specific group

• Payment history so you always know who has paid and who has not

• Payout controls so you can withdraw funds whenever the time is right

You do not need to create a new account for each collection. Everything sits inside your existing Potje account, clearly separated by pot.

What the Organiser Sees

As the organiser, your dashboard gives you a clear overview of every active pot. You can see the current balance, the progress towards the goal, and who has contributed, all in one place.

Switching between pots takes seconds. You share a different link for each one, so contributors only ever see and interact with their own group's pot. There is no confusion between groups.

What Contributors Experience

Contributors do not need a Potje account to pay into a pot. You share the link, they contribute, and the money lands directly in the pot. Simple.

This matters a lot when you are running multiple collections. Your ski trip group and your office colleagues never need to cross paths. Each group gets their own link, their own pot, and their own experience.

Practical Tips for Managing Several Pots at Once

Running multiple collections is straightforward once you have a system. Here is what works well.

Give Each Pot a Clear Name

When you create a pot, name it specifically. "Summer Trip 2026 - Barcelona Group" is far more useful than "Holiday Fund." You will thank yourself later when you are switching between pots on a busy week.

Set a Realistic Goal for Each Pot

Potje lets you set a target amount for each collection. Use it. A clear goal gives contributors something to work towards and helps you know exactly when a pot is ready to use.

Research on group saving behaviour consistently shows that groups with a defined goal contribute more consistently than those saving without a clear target.

Use Instant Payouts When You Need the Money

One of the most practical features for busy organisers is instant payouts. Potje offers instant payouts of any amount, with no minimum threshold. If the Airbnb deposit is due tomorrow and your pot has enough, you can pay out immediately.

There is also no fee on partial payouts. So if you need to draw down part of the pot to cover an early expense while the rest of the group is still contributing, you can do that without any penalty.

Keep Each Group in the Loop

Potje automatically tracks contributions, so you are never left manually chasing people or updating a spreadsheet. But it is still good practice to share progress updates with your group occasionally. A quick message showing the pot is 70% full keeps people motivated to contribute.

How Much Does It Cost to Run Multiple Pots?

Each active money pot costs €5.00 per month in total. That fee is shared automatically across the entire group, not paid by one person alone.

Here is how the cost typically splits:

If you are running three separate pots for three different groups, each group shares the cost of their own pot. You are not personally paying for all three.

Your first month is completely free. So if you want to test running multiple pots before committing, there is no risk.

Real Scenarios Where Multiple Pots Make Sense

Still not sure whether you need more than one pot? Here are situations where organisers typically run several at the same time.

• Friend groups: One pot for the group holiday, another for a shared birthday gift, a third for a recurring dinner fund

• Sports clubs: Separate pots for kit, match fees, and the end-of-season celebration

• Workplaces: A leaving gift collection running alongside a team event fund

• Student associations: Multiple trip funds for different sub-groups, all managed by one treasurer

In every case, the key is separation. Each group's money stays in its own pot, which keeps things transparent and avoids any confusion.
