Do I need to add money to Venmo to pay someone?

I’m having trouble splitting a payment or request.
Before sending the payment, you can edit the total or the individual amounts to make sure each person receives the amount you want. If you receive an error message, the amounts you added may not match. Clear out your inputs and try again.
Throughout the email, remain polite and professional, and include a call to action (preferably with a link to where they can pay) to make it clear as to why you are contacting them. You can end your email with a classic sign off, such as 'sincerely' or 'best' to maintain the professional tone.
In your message asking for financial assistance, clearly explain what has led you to your current position. In addition to explaining the financial impact of your situation, remember to explain how this rough patch is affecting your emotional well-being.
To request payment professionally, it's important to first make sure there was no error or miscommunication about the invoice. Send a polite email to your client explaining that the payment is now past due and ask to make sure they received the initial invoice and there were no problems with it.
Be direct about your needs but soften the request with kindness and gratitude. You could say something like, “I feel a bit awkward asking, but I really need some help with [specific thing].Could you lend me some money?I really appreciate your support and understanding.”
