ACH + Credit Card

Tenants choose how to pay. ACH for lower fees, credit card for convenience. Both powered by Stripe with bank-grade security.

Autopay Enrollment

Tenants opt into automatic monthly payments. No more chasing rent. No more missed due dates. Funds arrive on schedule.

Overpayment Detection

If a tenant overpays, PaxRent auto-detects the excess and creates a credit using FIFO allocation. No manual reconciliation needed.

How Rent Collection Works

From billing to bank reconciliation, every step is automated.

Monthly charges auto-generated

On the billing date, PaxRent generates rent charges for every active lease. Recurring charges (pet fees, parking, utilities) are included automatically. Journal entries are created in the background.

Tenants pay through their portal

Tenants log in, see their balance, and pay with a saved payment method or new ACH/card. Autopay tenants are charged automatically. Manual payments (check, cash, Section 8) can be recorded by managers.

Real-time payment tracking

Payments appear instantly in the ledger. Stripe webhooks update status in real time. Managers see who has paid and who hasn't on a single dashboard.

Late fee escalation

After the grace period, PaxRent can trigger delinquency workflows: friendly reminder, formal warning, final notice, legal referral. Each stage is configurable by the manager.

Owner statements compile

Collected rent flows into monthly owner statements automatically. Management fees are calculated. Net distributions are ready for payout via Stripe Connect.

Bank reconciliation

Match Stripe deposits to GL entries. Auto-matching algorithm handles the common cases. Manual override for exceptions. Trial balance stays clean.

How PaxRent Rent Collection Compares

No per-transaction fees to you

Buildium charges the PM for CC processing (~$1,159/mo for 170 units per Brad's invoice). With PaxRent, Stripe charges the tenant directly via a convenience fee. Your invoice shows $0 in processing fees.

Delinquency agent with staged escalation

When a tenant is late, your agent auto-creates a violation, drafts the right escalation notice (reminder, warning, notice, referral), and tracks resolution. You approve every send. Competitors offer basic late fee posting with no workflow.

Payment plans built in

Tenants going through hardship? Set up equal or custom installment plans without leaving PaxRent. Track paid vs remaining. No third-party add-on required.
