Fees and online payments
School fees collection software for Nigerian schools
Parents pay school fees from their phone with Paystack, in naira. Every payment is matched to an invoice, so your bursar can see who has paid and who has not.
At a glance
An invoice split into dated installments
The bursar can split an invoice into dated installments. Parents see what is paid and what is due on the parent web portal.
- Invoices and fee structures per class and term
- Installment plans for an invoice, and sibling discounts
- One Paystack payment for several children, on the parent web portal
- Disputes and refunds with a trail
- Defaulter and ageing lists
EduPrefect charges a 0.5% platform fee on online payments. It is waived for payments of ₦2,000 or less, capped at ₦2,500 per transaction, and shown before the parent pays. Paystack's own charge is separate.

What you get
What it does for your school
Money goes to your school, not to us
Online payments settle to your school's own verified Paystack subaccount. EduPrefect never holds your fees.
Installments and sibling discounts
The bursar can split an invoice into dated installments, and set a sibling discount rule once. Parents see their installments on the parent web portal.
One payment for several children
On the parent web portal, a parent with two or three children in your school can pay for all of them in a single Paystack payment, split across each child's invoice. The mobile Parent app pays one invoice at a time.
Cash and transfers in the same ledger
Payments taken at the bursary are recorded against the invoice too, so online and bursary payments sit in one place and one total.
Disputes, refunds and a clear trail
Paystack disputes and refunds are tracked against the payment. Refunds and reversals need a second person to approve, so no single member of staff can quietly move money out.
