What's new in Paylo
What we've been building for the merchants and shoppers who use Paylo. New features, small improvements, and the occasional fix.
October 2026
Your own customers are free, your bookings grow up, and Paylo organises your shop
NewFor sellers
Your own customers are always free
Paylo charges a fee only on the buyers it brings you, and only for their first 12 months. The customers you already had never carry one, and you can bring them in from your contacts so they never do. Every order and settlement spells out why a fee applied or did not, and if one lands on a customer who was always yours, you get it back on the spot.
Shipped in Paylo Business v1.11.6 (2026-10-03)
NewFor sellers
Send a customer their receipt by phone
On sales of ₦2,000 or more, the till can take the customer's phone number and send their receipt, with any warranty attached, straight to their phone. Leave it blank and nothing changes, so a busy counter loses nothing, and the customer is recognised as yours, so they stay fee-free.
Shipped in Paylo POS v1.0.4 (2026-10-03)
NewFor sellers
Run your bookings like a business
Take a deposit to hold a slot so a booking is one the customer is committed to. Add the people who work with you, and customers pick who they want. Make or move a booking yourself when plans change, and set your real hours, open around the clock or closed for a holiday.
Shipped in Paylo Business v1.13.0 (2026-10-11)
NewFor sellers
Let Paylo organise your shop for you
Paylo suggests ready-made categories and collections from what you already sell, so shoppers browse by what they want. Review, rename, or drop any, then approve. It keeps the names you use and flags when a clearer one would help, and it runs in the background while you get on with other things.

See what each plan unlocks for your store
The fee is the same on every plan, so the plan page now lays out the tools each one adds (staff accounts, more tills, extra branches) against your own store

See your whole day at a glance
The Activity screen opens with the numbers that matter: money taken, how many sales, who's working, and anything worth a second look, each written as a plain sentence.

NewFor sellers
Know who's selling and who's stuck
The Team screen shows each person with today's takings, with a tap for their week and trend. It flags anyone who can't sell yet because they haven't set a PIN.

Decide refunds without having to ask
When a cashier requests a refund, you see the item, its photo, and the reason they gave, so you can approve or decline from your phone.

NewFor everyone
Paylo, inside your AI assistant
Connect Paylo to Claude or any connector-capable assistant, and it answers from Paylo's live stores, plans and fees, and gives sellers a one-tap signup link. Start at usepaylo.com/ask.
NewFor sellers
Turn your WhatsApp Status into a storefront
Pick products to show off and Paylo makes a ready-to-post image for each, photo, price and store included, so people watching your Status come straight to you to buy.
Shipped in Paylo Business v1.14.1 (2026-10-15)
ImprovedFor sellers
Add all your customers in one go
When bringing in customers from your contacts, Select all adds everyone at once instead of one tap per person, so your existing customers get marked as yours sooner.

ImprovedFor shoppers
Every nearby store is a verified store
Your state's feed now shows only stores that have passed verification, so what you see is what you can safely buy. Pictures load faster, and long scrolls stay smooth.

Show a service from every angle
Add more than one photo to a service, the same way your products already work, so customers see the whole picture before they book.

Your added customers keep their names on a new phone
Switch phones and the customers you added are matched back to your device contacts, so their names come straight back. Kept on your phone, never stored by Paylo.

Big catalogues open smoothly, in full
Stores with thousands of products now open without a pause, and every product shows everywhere in the app, not just the first thousand.
Shipped in Paylo Business v1.13.0 (2026-10-11)
NewFor shoppers
One photo, several products
Add a flat-lay or haul photo to a wishlist and Paylo now spots the separate products in it, offering to save each as its own item with its name and price filled in. If it groups two things you'd rather keep apart, duplicate the photo while you review and split them in a tap.

Add your phone number at checkout
One optional field at checkout keeps your delivery updates and receipts with you, and lets shops you already buy from recognise you as their customer.

Sharing into Paylo, now dependable
Share a link or photos from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, X or your gallery and your find can no longer get lost: signed out, offline or interrupted, it waits safely and finishes the moment you open Paylo. You can sign in and start your first wishlist right from the share sheet, reliably now, and a post a friend already shared brings in every product, not just the main one.

Your local shopping, remembered
Grant location once and your local experience is there every time you open the app, and if it's off, Paylo shows you the way to turn it back on. Shopping from Abuja works properly now too.

Book with the person you want
When a store has more than one person offering a service, you can pick who you want and see only their open time slots. No preference still shows every slot.

Stock a whole shelf in one scan
Scan a barcode and the camera comes straight back for the next product, keeping a running count as you go. Each one lines up for review, and anything that isn't a product barcode is turned away on the spot. When Paylo doesn't yet know a barcode, type the product's name to steer the match or add it by hand.
Shipped in Paylo Business v1.11.6 (2026-10-03)
FixedFor sellers
Your barcodes survive a rename
Renaming a variant's size or colour used to disconnect it from its barcode. Now the variant keeps its barcode and links through any change, so the till keeps ringing it up and shared links keep working. Products added with several photos also keep all of them, and store logo and cover uploads are faster now, saying so plainly if one fails.

Discover and store pages, cleaned up
A round of visual cleanups tidied curated category images on Discover, store pages with very wide banners, and where promotions sit on the home screen.

Shop first, sign in when you pay
Fill your cart on any store without an account, then sign in with Google, Apple or email when you pay. Checkout itself now moves one step at a time.

Your cart follows you
Your cart is saved to your account and follows you across devices. Leave it behind and Paylo emails a reminder with a link to finish; one tap unsubscribes.

September 2026
The Paylo POS and Staff apps, orders straight from your chats, and branches for every location
NewFor sellers
The Paylo POS app
Turn an iPhone or iPad you already have into a till for your store: no terminal to buy, no browsing, no distractions, just your products and the next sale. Pair it by scanning a code from Paylo Business, add cashiers by name with their own PIN while they stand at the counter, and every sale comes straight out of the same stock your storefront sells from. Now on the App Store.
Launched in Paylo POS (2026-09-04)
NewFor sellers
The Paylo Staff app
A shop-floor app for your store team. Add a staff member by phone number in Paylo Business, a code arrives, and they are in, claiming paid online orders, scanning each item as they pick, and sealing the bag with a photo before it goes out the door. Pickers never see customer names or order totals, and managers can fix a stock count from the shop floor in a couple of taps. Now on the App Store.
Launched in Paylo Staff (2026-09-30)
NewFor shoppers
Pay right inside your chats
When a store sends you a cart in Messages, it appears as a tidy order you can open, review and pay for without ever leaving the conversation. Your money stays protected by Paylo the whole way, just like any other order.

NewFor sellers
Turn a WhatsApp chat into a paid order in seconds
Select the order messages in WhatsApp, share them to Paylo Business, and the order builds itself: items matched against your stock, quantities filled in, and anything unclear flagged for a one-tap fix. You get a checkout link to paste back into the conversation, your customer reviews, adjusts and pays, and the sale, stock and records update on their own.

Customers get their receipt on their own phone
Every sale completed on the till ends with a QR code the customer scans to open their receipt on their own phone, or a share button for sending it as a text.
Launched in Paylo POS (2026-09-04)
NewFor sellers
Send a cart in chat, get paid in chat
Build a cart right inside a customer conversation: pick the products, set the quantities, and send. Your customer sees it as a neat order in the same thread and pays without leaving the app, so the sale is done before the conversation goes cold.

NewFor shoppers
Can't find it on Paylo? Ask The Plug
When a search comes up empty in areas where sourcing is live, one tap sends your request to our sourcing partners. They hunt it down and send you quotes, so you pick the one you like, pay in the app, and track it like any other order.

Commitments customers can count on
Sign the store commitments Paylo stands behind: same-day delivery, genuine products, honest stock and fast replies. For delivery you choose the speed you can keep, shoppers see exactly that on your store before they order, and you can withdraw a commitment whenever you need to.

The till keeps selling when the network doesn't
If the connection drops mid-sale, the sale is saved on the device and sent automatically the moment you're back online, with stock, payment method and receipt all intact and never duplicated. A running count shows how many sales are still waiting to sync.

Print your store
Share your store now makes more than a QR code, it makes the poster too.

Every download is crisp print quality, and if your store has its own web address, that is what the code opens.

Shopping near you just got smarter
Paylo now detects your area automatically, so nearby stores and local picks match where you actually are, with nothing to type and nothing to set up.

A receipt that sells again
The QR on every till receipt now brings customers back for more: scanning it rebuilds their purchase as a ready-to-pay cart, at current prices, with anything sold out set aside, on your storefront or straight in the Paylo app for shoppers who have it. A counter sale becomes a repeat customer without you lifting a finger.

Confirm delivery right on the store's website
When your order arrives, or you pick it up, you can now confirm it on the store's site, no app needed. On protected orders, confirming sends the held payment to the seller right away and returns your buyer-protection fee as Paylo credits.
NewFor shoppers
Your orders speak up while you browse
Keep a store's site open and order updates find you: the moment the seller confirms, ships or marks your order ready for pickup, a note pops up with a chime (a system notification if you're in another tab) and the tracking page updates itself, no refreshing.
NewFor shoppers
Everything you need to decide, on one product page
Swipe through every photo, see the delivery fee and buyer-protection cover before you decide, and keep browsing with a 'More from this store' shelf right there. As you change the quantity, your full total updates live, so you see the real amount before you add to cart, not after.

Store pages that lead with the seller
Store pages now put the seller's own branding first: banners display exactly as designed, with the name, location and opening hours gathered neatly beneath, and product photos show edge to edge with no black bars. When a store is about to close you'll see 'Closes in 40 min' so same-day orders still make it, and a store's rating appears only once there are enough reviews to be meaningful.

Chat carts tell your variants apart
Chat carts now show exactly which variant is in the order, 'Ankara Gown (M · Red)' rather than just the product name, and search finds a product by its size or colour.

Uploads, saves and deletes used to fail quietly on a weak connection: you'd tap and nothing would happen.

The app also opens faster and moves more smoothly, and the till remembers your PIN after you reinstall.
