Rent Collection & Invoices
Payments
A payment records money received and applies it against one or more invoices.
Online payments
When Stripe is connected, tenant payments are recorded automatically and applied to the matching invoice — no manual entry needed.
Record a manual payment
- Open the invoice (or go to Payments → Receive Payment).
- Pick the payer (a tenant or a program/housing authority).
- Enter the amount, date, and method (cash, check, bank transfer, money order, Zelle, Venmo, credit card, ACH, Stripe, or other).
- Confirm which open invoice(s) the payment applies to.
- Save. The invoice updates to paid (or partially paid), and any overpayment is held as a tenant credit.
Partial payments
If a tenant pays part of a balance, record the amount received — the invoice shows the remaining balance and stays open until fully paid.
Voids and corrections
To reverse a payment, open it and Void the payment (a reason is required) — this releases the applied amount back to the invoice. You can also Edit a completed payment to change the amount, date, method, or how it's allocated. Refunds for online payments are issued through Stripe.
