Available now - Online rent payments

Posted on December 17, 2011

Online rent payments allows tenants to pay their rent using a credit card online.  More and more tenants are asking for this option as a fast and convenient way of paying their rent.  Which is also good for the property manager or landlord.

This is available now to all RentRecall.com web site subscribers.  

The payment processing will all be handled by paypal.com.  At no point do you get to see the tenant's credit card details.  After the payment is made, an email will be sent to you with the details of the payment.  The tenant gets to see their current balance due, and can choose how much to pay, prior to the transaction taking place.

To enable this feature, which is disabled by default, you need to log into the managers login at rentrecall.com, and choose the Setup option in the top right corner.  You need to have already set up a paypal.com account to receive payments.  Enter you paypal.com account email address.  You can also optionally choose to charge the tenant a credit card fee, which can be a percentage of the amount paid, or a fixed amount, or both.  Paypal.com will charge you a fee for their service, so this enabled you to cover some or all of those costs.
