How Karo works

1

Issue invoice

Import your students and fee structure. Generate term invoices in one click.

2

WhatsApp payment link

Each family gets a tappable link — one for siblings combined, one per child, your choice.

3

Auto reconciliation

Payments attach to the right student, update balances live, and clear open invoices.

4

Instant receipt

The guardian receives a branded receipt on WhatsApp — no manual work for your bursar.

Everything a bursar's office actually needs

Parent balance self-service

Guardians check any child's balance from a private link. Zero phone calls to your office.

One-link family billing

Siblings roll up into a single family bill so parents pay once for all their children.

Fee clearance certificates

Generate exam-day clearance letters in one click for students with a zero balance.

Director's daily digest

A WhatsApp summary each morning: collected yesterday, outstanding today, top defaulters.

Audit pack

Every invoice, payment and message is immutable and exportable for your auditors.

Works with M-Pesa and bank

Your existing paybill or bank account stays yours — Karo just reconciles the flow.

Simple pricing

KES 299 per student per term. Volume tiers for larger schools. No setup fee. Cancel any time.
