Services · Ecommerce development · Payroll subscription sites
Codeeo provides payroll subscription website development Birmingham accountancy practices, payroll bureaux and software firms use to sell payroll as a monthly plan. We build the packages page, the sign-up and Direct Debit set-up, recurring invoices and a client account area, so a Jewellery Quarter workshop, a Black Country manufacturer or a Colmore Row professional firm can start paying for payroll online instead of waiting for an engagement letter and a manual invoice each month.
We build the commercial layer around your payroll service: what clients see, sign and pay. Your payroll software or engine stays as it is, and we link billing to it so the service a client pays for matches the service they receive.

What we build
Much of Birmingham's payroll work is done by practices and bureaux rather than in-house teams. A firm near Colmore Row or Brindleyplace may run payroll for dozens of small employers across the city and the Black Country: manufacturers paying weekly, retailers with seasonal staff, family firms in the Jewellery Quarter with a handful of employees. Those clients rarely want to read a proposal. They want a clear package, a monthly Direct Debit and a way to tell you about a new starter. The features below turn a service sold by quotation into one clients can choose and pay for online, while your team keeps the right to price unusual jobs by hand. We usually start with packages, sign-up and billing, then add the practice tools once the first clients are live. HS2 construction around Curzon Street and the steady growth of business services in the city centre keep bringing new employers into Birmingham, and each one is a potential payroll client who will compare providers online before ringing anyone.
Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly and monthly payrolls cost you different amounts to run, so the packages page prices them separately. A manufacturer paying shop-floor staff weekly and office staff monthly sees both payrolls in one quote, with the total calculated as they enter headcount for each.
Prices reflect the real work behind each payroll.
Pension auto-enrolment administration, P11D support, extra pay frequencies or a named contact for queries can be added at checkout or later from the account area. Each add-on carries its own price rule and appears as a separate line on the invoice so clients see exactly what they pay for.
Extra services sell without a new proposal.
Most small employers in the West Midlands expect to pay their accountant by Direct Debit. We set up mandates through a Bacs-approved provider, with the Direct Debit Guarantee shown where it should be, advance notice of each collection and card payment as a fallback with Strong Customer Authentication.
Collections run on time without chasing.
Some practices pay for payroll on behalf of their clients and recharge it in their own fees. The billing model supports both: each client pays you directly, or the practice receives one consolidated invoice listing every client company and its headcount. You can mix the two across your book.
The billing model fits how each practice works.
After payment, new clients complete a guided form with their PAYE and accounts office references, pay dates, pension scheme details and current payroll provider. Starter information and documents upload securely, and the form flags anything missing before your team begins the first pay run.
Onboarding starts with complete information.
Payroll billing integration services for Birmingham firms usually mean connecting three systems: the payroll software that runs the pay, the practice management tool that holds client records and the accounting package that records income. We use their published APIs so a new client created on the website appears in each system once, with the same reference everywhere.
No client is keyed in three times.
Clients report new starters, leavers and pay changes from their account rather than by email. Each notice updates the headcount used for billing at the next cycle and lands in your team's queue with a deadline linked to that client's pay date.
Payroll changes and billing changes happen together.
Recurring invoices show the details a UK VAT invoice requires and feed your accounting software, so the practice's own Making Tax Digital records stay accurate. Clients download past invoices and statements themselves, which removes a regular source of admin emails.
Your books and your clients' records agree.
The account area carries your practice's brand, not a software vendor's. Clients see their package, upcoming collections, invoices and outstanding requests, and can upgrade or cancel within the notice terms you set. Every change is logged with the user and time.
Clients manage routine matters without calling you.
Pages target the way Birmingham businesses search for payroll help, by sector and by area such as Digbeth, Edgbaston or Solihull, with structured data and fast loading. Referral links let partner accountants and existing clients introduce new employers, with each sign-up tracked to its source.
You see which channels bring paying clients.
Who this is for
We work best with Birmingham businesses that already deliver payroll well and want to sell it more simply. The firms below differ in size and in how they bill today, but each has the same problem: the website explains the service and then stops, leaving pricing, paperwork and payment to email and phone calls. Payroll SaaS website development in Birmingham looks different for a practice than for a software company, so we start from your situation rather than a template. Across Birmingham, the firms that gain most are those already turning away small payroll jobs because quoting them takes longer than running them.
Payroll is often a service the practice offers alongside year-end accounts and VAT returns, priced client by client. Turning it into published packages with online sign-up lets the practice win small employers who would never book a meeting, and frees partners from writing quotes for straightforward payrolls. Bundles with bookkeeping or VAT returns can sit beside the payroll packages.
Bundles can include services beyond payroll.
Manufacturing clients across the Black Country and Birmingham's industrial areas often run weekly payroll with shift premiums and overtime. A bureau serving them needs pricing that reflects pay frequency and headcount, onboarding that captures shift patterns, and billing that adjusts as agency and permanent staff numbers move through the year. We also allow for clients who use employment agencies, so temporary workers paid by the agency are not counted in the client's billable headcount by mistake.
For a software company, the site has to do the selling alone. We build per-employee plans, a sign-up that provisions the product account automatically, card and Direct Debit billing and an account area for upgrades, so small employers across Birmingham and beyond can buy at any hour without your team stepping in. Payroll subscription platform development in Birmingham for a software firm also covers usage reporting, so you can see which plans grow and which customers are close to their next headcount band.
Some Birmingham bureaux run payroll on behalf of smaller practices that do not want to process it themselves. Partner accounts let each practice add clients, choose who is billed and see consolidated invoices, while you keep the client relationship records you need for compliance and service. Partners can also download a monthly statement for their own records and recharge it to clients in whatever way their engagement letters allow.
White-label options are agreed during discovery.
How we work together
We are not based in Birmingham and do not visit client offices in the UK. Our team works with you remotely, with workshops, reviews and sign-offs over video call. A practice usually starts with a fixed scope first release, then keeps us on a monthly retainer to add packages and refine billing as the client base grows. Software businesses with a longer roadmap can take a dedicated team. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, with a team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. Clients rate us 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
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 pick tools your practice can live with after launch: a content system your staff can edit, a recognised Direct Debit and card provider, and integrations with the accounting and practice software you already use.

The number of packages, payment methods and systems the site must connect to.
A simple site with a few packages and Direct Debit sits at one end. Partner accounts, consolidated practice billing, onboarding forms linked to your payroll software and migration of existing clients add work at the other. Content volume, such as sector pages, also matters. We scope these in discovery and give you a written estimate before design begins. Where budgets are tight, we suggest a first release that sells the two or three most common packages well, then add partner billing once clients are paying online.
