A statement lists everything between you and one person for a period, with an opening balance, every addition and payment, and a running balance. It’s the clearest way to answer “how did we get to this number?”.

View a statement

  1. Open the person and choose Statement.
  2. Pick a period: All time, This month, Last month or Custom range.
  3. Turn on Show notes if you want each line’s note included.

The statement shows the opening balance, what was Added (+) and Taken off (−), the closing balance and a running-balance table of up to 2,000 lines.

Download as PDF

Choose Download PDF. Your browser’s print dialog opens; choose “Save as PDF” as the printer.

  1. Choose Share statement.
  2. Decide whether to Include notes.
  3. If you share groups with them, choose Include group balances to add each group with the expenses, seller refunds and payments between the two of you and the balance after each. Other members and their shares never appear. Include people they pay for adds the records of anyone they pay for.
  4. Choose Copy link, Send on WhatsApp or show the QR code.

Anyone with the link can see this statement without signing in. It stays up to date as you add records until you turn it off. You can see how many times it has been viewed.

  • Make a new link replaces the old link, which stops working.
  • Turn off link stops it immediately.

Getting paid

While the person owes you, the shared statement shows Pay with your payment details: your UPI ID (with a button and QR code for the exact amount), your PayPal.Me link, and any payment methods you added, such as bank details. Each detail has a copy button.

A new statement link shows all your turned-on payment methods. To show fewer, choose Change next to Payment details in Share statement and pick the ones you want, or none. OweJar doesn’t see or confirm payments; record the payment yourself once it arrives.

Treat links like a document you hand over

Only send statement links to the person they’re about. If a link is shared further than you meant, turn it off or make a new one.
