Fee Collection
Generate invoices and collect school fees digitally — built for Nigerian schools.
Scholary's fee collection module lets school bursars generate structured invoices per student, track payment status in real time, send reminders, and reconcile collections — all without a separate accounting system. Paystack integration is built in.
What's included
Invoice generation
Create school-fee invoices per student or in bulk for a class. Each invoice carries a unique reference, line items, amount, and due date.
Paystack-ready payments
Parents pay directly from their portal using Paystack — bank cards, bank transfer, or USSD. No manual bank confirmation needed.
Real-time payment status
The bursar dashboard shows paid, pending, and overdue invoices at a glance. Payment webhooks update status automatically.
Payment history
Every payment is logged with a timestamp, amount, channel, and Paystack reference — a full audit trail with no manual entry.
Outstanding fee reports
Filter by class, term, or student to see who has outstanding balances and send targeted reminders.
How Scholary stands out
A direct comparison against how most Nigerian school software handles the same problems.
Online payment integration
Most Nigerian school fee systems still rely on bank tellers, manual confirmation, and Excel reconciliation.
Paystack is wired directly into the parent portal. Parents pay online; the bursar sees it instantly. No middlemen.
Invoice traceability
Invoices are often generated in Word or printed — no digital trail, easy to dispute.
Every Scholary invoice has a unique ID, a Paystack payment reference, and a full status log that neither side can alter.
Cost to the school
School fee software in Nigeria typically charges per-student or per-term licensing fees.
Scholary's fee collection module is free. Only Paystack's standard transaction fee applies — and that comes from the payment itself.
