Built for how you actually run

No finance department? No problem.

Most ECD centres run lean — an owner, a few teachers, and no dedicated admin team. Paylio is built to handle payroll and fees without adding a second job to your day.

Pay part-time and casual staff correctly, every time — no manual calculations.

Send parent fee reminders automatically, with a secure payment link built in.

Stay POPIA and SARS compliant without hiring a bookkeeper.

Run it all from WhatsApp — no new software to learn, no training needed.

From Paylio schools

Hear from centres like yours.

“As a school, time is incredibly valuable. Paylio has helped us take a lot of the administration off our plate. Being able to manage payroll and send parent invoices without jumping between different systems makes such a difference. It's simple, convenient and gives us much better control over our finances.”

Yasmin AbrahamsLittle Scholars, Gauteng

“I love how easy Paylio makes things that used to take so much time. Whether we're dealing with staff payroll or sending an invoice to a parent, we can get it done quickly and without all the usual admin. Having that convenience through WhatsApp has been a real game changer for us.”
