Features
Everything your shop runs on, in one system.
Inventory, staff, the till and your online store share one set of data. Here is every feature, and the plan it comes on.
Inventory
Inventory that keeps its own records.
Stock is shared by every channel, held while customers pay, counted against what the system expected and logged with a name on every change.

One inventory across every channel
Online orders, marketplace sales and till sales draw from a single stock count, updated the moment a sale happens.
Stock per variant
Track each size and colour on its own, with its own quantity and price.
Stock held at checkout
Items are held while a customer pays and released if they leave, so two buyers can never pay for the last unit.
Oversell detection
If a sale ever lands on stock that is no longer there, it is flagged for you instead of silently going negative.
Low-stock flags
Products that are running low are marked in your inventory so you can restock before you run out.
Barcode scanning
Scan to sell at the till, or scan a barcode when adding a product and Paylo fills in the details from its product catalogue.
Bulk import
Bring in your catalogue from a CSV or Excel file, or import products straight from Instagram.
Stock counts
Count a branch and Paylo compares it with what the system expected, showing the difference product by product.
Receive and adjust stock
Staff record deliveries and corrections from their own phones, with a reason attached to every change.
Audit trail of every stock movement
Each sale, delivery, adjustment and count is logged with who did it, on which device, at which branch.
Multiple branches
Run several locations, each with its own stock, its own tills and its own team.
Team and staff
Roles, permissions and approvals for your staff.
Five ready-made roles, more than twenty permissions you can set per person, and manager sign-off on refunds and cancelled sales.
Staff on their own phones
Your team uses Paylo Staff on the phones they already carry, so nobody shares a login or uses your account.
Ready-made roles
Manager, Cashier, Stockkeeper, Picker and Rider, each with sensible permissions from day one.
Fine-grained permissions
Over twenty separate permissions, from adjusting stock to approving refunds or seeing financial reports. Grant or remove any of them for one person without changing their role.
Manager approvals
Refunds, voids and new staff PINs can wait for a manager to approve them before they go through.
Staff activity log
See what each person did and when, from sales at the till to stock changes.
Performance per person
Sales, order picks and totals for every member of your team.
Instant removal
Remove someone and they are signed out everywhere at once, on every device.
Order picking without customer details
Pickers see a list of paid orders to pick, scan and seal. They never see customer names or order totals.
Staff assigned to branches
Choose which branch each person works at, so they only see and change that branch’s stock.
Point of sale
Paylo POS for the counter.
Offline selling, shift cash-ups and tills registered to your store. One till on Free, more on Pro and up.
Phone and iPad till
Turn a device you already have into a till. One till on Free, more on Pro and up.
Works offline
Keep selling when the internet goes. Sales are saved on the device and sync when you are back online.
Shifts and cash-up
Open a shift with a float, count the cash at close and see the difference against what was expected, with an end-of-day report.
Tills registered to your store
Each till is paired to your store and opened with a staff PIN, so a stolen phone is not a working till.
Refunds and receipts
Issue refunds against the original sale and give a receipt for every transaction.
Selling online
Sell online, get paid safely, and prove every delivery.
Every Paylo store comes with a storefront and a place on the Paylo marketplace, with checkout that protects your buyers and delivery that proves every handover.
Your own storefront
Your own store on the web, with a free .com domain on Business and up.
Listed on the Paylo marketplace
Shoppers in the Paylo app can find and buy from your store.
Protected checkout
Buyers pay into escrow through Paystack or with crypto, and you are paid when the order is delivered.
Instagram and Facebook catalogue sync
Paylo keeps your Meta catalogue up to date, so the prices on Instagram match your store.
Proof of delivery
Riders on Paylo Dispatch collect sealed bags and record every handover, so you have proof if a delivery is disputed.
Discoverable by AI assistants
AI assistants can find your products, as well as search engines.
Every feature, by plan
Free covers a shop run by its owner. Pro adds your team and stock controls. Business adds more branches.
