Inherited from 古期英語 sċot, ġesċot, from Proto-West Germanic *skot, from Proto-Germanic *skutą.
However, forms with final -e (such as schote) appear in texts where it indicates /ə/ rather than being orthographic, meaning that reinforcement from an *sċote (probably an alteration of sċyte with the vocalism of (ġe)sċot) is likely. The "payment" sense is perhaps from 古期英語 sċēotan (“to pay”) (a sense that is not recorded for 中期英語 scheten).
