After the initial setup of your payments, you can add monthly or one-time charges by clicking "Create Charge" in either the Payments tab or in the specific Lease Profile* under Payments and following the required steps.

*The Lease Profile is like an electronic version of an old-school file folder for your lease that holds the tenant, payment, document, and property information.


To Create Charges in the Lease Profile

Step 1: Go to the Leases tab and select the profile for which you need to create the charge.

Step 2: Go to the Payments section of that lease profile

Step 3: Select "Create Charge" and select whether you are creating a monthly charge or a one-time charge.

Step 4: Once you select the charge type, enter the charge information and select "Next." Once you review the charge to make sure it looks correct, select "Create Charge" (one-time or monthly will listed)

Voila! Your charge has been created and sent to the tenants on that lease. With one-time charges, they are automatically sent to the tenant. Monthly charges will be posted to the account 15 days before the due date, with reminders to pay sent to the tenant's email 7, 3, and 1 day before the due date.

As a note - Past due payment reminders are sent out 1, 3, and 5 days after the due date passes without the charge being paid.


To Create Charges from the Payments Tab

Step 1: Go to your Payments tab in your account

Step 2: Select "Create Charge" in the upper right corner.

Step 3: Select the Lease you are creating the charge for, and select if this will be a monthly or one-time charge

Step 4: Once you select the lease and charge type, enter the charge information and select "Next." Once you review the charge to make sure it looks correct, select "Create Charge" (one-time or monthly will listed)

Voila! Your charge has been created and sent to the tenants on that lease. With one-time charges, they are automatically sent to the tenant. Monthly charges will be posted to the account 15 days before the due date, with reminders to pay sent to the tenant's email 7, 3, and 1 day before the due date.

As a note - Past due payment reminders are sent out 1, 3, and 5 days after the due date passes without the charge being paid.
