FAQ

How do I delete a saved account or card? 

Click Edit next to the card and click Delete in the top right. 

 

If the customer has a credit on their account, will the payment type be charged the full amount? 

The software will apply the credit balance to the invoice and charge the payment type on file for anything remaining. 

 

Will the card be charged the entire balance on the account every month?

No. The payment type will only run for the current invoices due (rent, fees, etc). Any additional fees or past due balances will need to be charged manually.  

 

Can I change the billing date to after the due date for a customer? 

Yes, you can offset the date of RECURRING BILLING to charge the tenant after the due date. This change will not take effect for any bills already invoiced on the account.
