Schoolamer.
In development — not yet open to schools

Term fees, invoiced and collected. Parents kept informed.

Schoolamer is school management software for Ghanaian schools, built around the two jobs that take the most time: getting the term's fees in, and telling families where they stand. Fees settle to the school's own account.

Pricing is not set yet. Not yet supplied: monthly subscription price, and how it is banded When it is, it will be published here before any school is asked to commit.

How a term runs

  1. Set up the year once

    Classes, terms and your fee structure, entered once per academic year. Pupils and guardians can be brought in from a spreadsheet rather than typed in again.

  2. Issue the term's invoices

    One run produces an invoice per pupil from the fee structure that applies to them, with your own invoice numbering. Scholarships, sibling discounts and individual arrangements are applied as recorded adjustments, not by editing figures.

  3. Each family gets its own payment link

    The guardian receives a message with a link to one invoice — theirs, and only theirs. They open it, see the breakdown, and pay by mobile money or card on the payment provider's own checkout. There is nothing to download and no account to create.

  4. The money arrives and the books update

    Funds settle to the school's own bank or mobile-money account. The payment is matched to the invoice, the balance falls, the family gets a receipt, and the entry is attributed in an audit trail that cannot be quietly edited.

How it is arranged, and why that matters

Fees settle to your account
Each school's fee income goes to that school's own bank account or mobile-money wallet, through the payment provider's split settlement. Schoolamer never holds your fee money, so there is no payout to wait for and no float sitting with us.
A subscription, not a cut
Schoolamer charges the school a monthly subscription. It takes no percentage of any fee payment. Collecting more fees does not cost you more.
Parents need no account
No app to install, no password to forget, no portal to log into. A parent gets a message with a link and pays. That is the whole journey.
A family's data stays with the school
A parent's phone number is visible to the staff chasing that fee and the teacher of that child — not to everyone who can sign in. The app shows Schoolamer's own staff counts and totals across schools, never an identifiable pupil, guardian or payment record. We operate the database, so that is a limit of the application rather than of our access — the privacy policy says exactly what that means.

What it handles

  • Enrolment, pupil records and withdrawals
  • Classes and class registers, year by year
  • Guardians, and which guardian pays
  • Academic years and terms
  • Fee categories and fee structures, including boarding and optional items
  • Term invoice runs, with your own numbering
  • Discounts, bursaries, scholarships and corrections, each with a reason
  • Mobile money and card payment links for guardians
  • Cash, bank transfer and cheque payments recorded by the bursar
  • Part payments, overpayments and credit carried to the next term
  • Receipts and payment confirmations to guardians
  • Reversals, refunds and chargeback handling
  • Staff roles and invitations, with an audit trail of who did what

What it does not do yet

Worth knowing before you ask, rather than after.

WhatsApp messages are not switched on
WhatsApp requires message templates that Meta approves in advance, and that approval has not been granted yet. Fee notices and receipts go out by email in the meantime. SMS is not connected.
No attendance, marks or report cards
The product covers enrolment, fees and family communication. Attendance and academic records are not built.
No parent login, by design
Guardians have no account and no portal. A payment link is their whole access, and it reaches exactly one invoice.

A school holds data about children. We treat that as the serious part.

Running fees for a school means holding pupils' names, their classes and what their families owe. The privacy policy says plainly what is held about pupils, guardians and staff, which companies process it, how long it is kept, and what is still unsettled — including Ghana's Data Protection Commission registration.
