Services · Ecommerce development · Employee attendance subscription sites
Codeeo offers employee attendance subscription website development UK software companies use to sell nationally: one platform for plans, checkout, recurring billing, VAT invoices and customer accounts, built around UK payment methods and UK law. Whether your buyers are a household employing a nanny, a regional care provider or a public body buying through a framework, each gets a purchase route that fits, and your finance team gets records it can file without rework.
This is the commercial platform, not the attendance app. It sells your product, collects payment, tracks entitlements and keeps revenue records straight, while your own software handles clocking, rotas and timesheets.

Platform capabilities
Selling attendance software across the UK means meeting very different buyers with one platform. Sole traders and households may count as consumers, with cancellation rights and stricter pricing rules. Private employers expect prices before VAT and Direct Debit. Councils, NHS organisations and housing associations buy through frameworks and purchase orders and read your accessibility statement before they read your feature list.
Underneath, every payment has to satisfy Strong Customer Authentication, every invoice has to meet HMRC's VAT invoice rules, and every customer's employee data sits under UK GDPR with your company as processor. The capabilities below are how we bring those requirements into a single platform. We phase them so the routes that bring most revenue go live first. A vendor selling mostly to private employers might launch with business checkout, Direct Debit and VAT invoicing, then add the public sector route for the next tender season and the consumer route only if household demand proves real. Each phase reuses the same billing engine and catalogue, so later routes are additions rather than rebuilds.
Buyers say at the start whether they are buying for a business. Consumers see VAT inclusive totals and every mandatory charge up front, as DMCC Act drip pricing rules require, plus their cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Businesses see prices before VAT and enter company details.
Each buyer type gets the terms and price display the law expects.
Where a consumer buys, the platform records the date of the contract, the cancellation period, and any request to start the service early, then calculates the proportionate charge if they cancel after using it. Confirmation emails carry the information the regulations require.
Consumer cancellations handled correctly without manual calculation.
Online Direct Debit mandates for recurring business billing, plus open banking pay by bank for one off charges and invoice settlement. Both sit beside card payments that pass Strong Customer Authentication on setup and run as merchant initiated payments afterwards.
Lower collection failures across a national customer base.
Public buyers can request a quote, attach a purchase order, receive invoices on terms and download the documents procurement teams ask for. If you list on a framework such as G-Cloud, framework pricing and service definitions can sit on the site in matching form.
Public bodies can buy from you through their normal process.
Invoices and credit notes carry the details HMRC requires, with sequential numbering and correct VAT treatment for UK and overseas customers. Records sync to accounting software that files under Making Tax Digital, so returns are built from the same data customers were billed on.
VAT returns that reconcile with billing.
For vendors selling to Welsh public bodies and employers who work in Welsh, we build Welsh versions of key pages, checkout labels and emails, with content managed side by side in the CMS so updates do not leave one language behind.
A credible offer to bilingual buyers in Wales.
Scotland has its own legal system, and some Scottish buyers expect contracts governed by Scots law. The platform can present terms by jurisdiction, record which version each customer accepted, and keep a full history when your terms change.
A clear record of the terms every customer signed up to.
A data processing agreement accepted at sign up, a sub processor list, and UK or EU hosting choices stated plainly. Buyers who must complete a data protection impact assessment for monitoring workers find the information they need in one place.
Shorter security and privacy reviews for every new customer.
If you sell clocking terminals with plans, delivery to Northern Ireland follows different VAT and customs arrangements from Great Britain. We handle the address logic, tax treatment and shipping options so hardware can be ordered anywhere in the UK.
One checkout that works in all four nations.
Pages, checkout and the account area tested against WCAG 2.2 AA with keyboard and screen reader checks, and an accessibility statement that public sector buyers can review. This also supports your duty under the Equality Act to make reasonable adjustments.
Accessibility evidence ready for tenders.
Who this is for
The UK attendance market includes national HR suites, specialist tools for single sectors, and newer vendors moving from one region to national sales. Each needs a different balance between self serve checkout and contract sales, and between consumer and business rules. These four profiles cover most of the vendors we work with, and the platform is shaped around whichever matches you. We ask early about your three year plan, because a platform built only for today's buyers often has to be redone when you add a new nation, a public sector route or a second product.
Families employing nannies, carers or cleaners need to record hours and pay at least the minimum wage, and some attendance products serve them. These buyers can be consumers in law. We build a consumer route with full pricing, cancellation rights, plain English terms and card or Direct Debit payment, while keeping your business route separate. Household buyers often need simple guidance on what to record, which your content can give.
Consumer rules are stricter, so this route is tested on its own.
Selling to councils, NHS trusts and housing associations means frameworks, purchase orders, accessibility statements and data protection questions. We add the ordering route and documentation those buyers need, so public sector deals no longer require your finance team to raise invoices and chase payments outside your billing system. Public sector revenue then appears in the same reports as every other customer.
A product that grew in one city often has billing habits that do not scale, such as hand made invoices or a single plan for everyone. We move you onto plans and billing rules that suit customers across the country, migrate current subscriptions carefully, and give you reporting by region so you can see where growth comes from. Regional pricing, if you need it, can be added without separate plans for every area.
If attendance is one paid module among several, buyers need to add it, trial it if you allow that, and remove it without touching their core contract. We set up modular pricing, entitlements your product reads and invoices that list each module, so customers anywhere in the UK can change what they use without a sales call. Module changes take effect in your product as soon as payment clears.
Engagement models
Codeeo has no UK office; our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and serves UK clients remotely, with discovery, design reviews and acceptance testing run by video call. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews. Most vendors begin with a fixed scope first phase, then keep a retainer for new plans, routes and regulation driven changes, or add dedicated developers to their team. Repositories and billing accounts are in your name from the start, and every decision is recorded so your own staff can take over at any point.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We typically pair Next.js or WordPress with Stripe Billing, Chargebee or GoCardless, and connect to Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, HubSpot or Salesforce. Tools are chosen for your team's skills and your buyers' needs, and we will tell you plainly when an existing tool is good enough to keep.

Because national sales bring consumer, business and public buyers with different rules.
Payment links work for a few customers. They do not show the right prices to different buyers, handle proration, raise compliant VAT invoices, process cancellations correctly or tell your product what each customer has paid for. As you sell across the UK, those gaps become refunds, disputes and manual work. A proper subscription platform handles them by design and gives you reliable revenue data. It also gives investors and acquirers figures they can check against invoices.
