Payment Integration
Native or API-based connections to Stripe that support one-time charges, recurring billing, and saved payment methods to streamline tenant payments and automate receipts.
Using a Stripe invoice example in real estate centralizes billing, payment capture, and signature capture into a single digital record, reducing errors and accelerating collections while preserving an auditable trail.
Agents generate invoices for application fees, commissions, and prorated rent, then send documents for signature. They need simple templates, mobile signing, and clear audit trails to support closings and leasing agreements while tracking payments in accounting systems.
Property managers manage recurring rent invoices, one-off maintenance charges, and security deposit settlements. They require bulk invoice tools, tenant-facing payment links, signer authentication options, and integrations to property management and accounting platforms for reliable record-keeping.
Consolidating invoice issuance, payment capture, and signatures improves auditability and reduces manual reconciliation across teams.
Native or API-based connections to Stripe that support one-time charges, recurring billing, and saved payment methods to streamline tenant payments and automate receipts.
Customizable templates for leases, move-in invoices, and closing statements with merged fields to minimize manual edits and maintain consistent formatting across properties.
Multiple authentication options such as email verification, SMS codes, or knowledge-based checks to confirm signer identity consistent with ESIGN and UETA expectations.
Comprehensive event logs capturing timestamps, IP addresses, and signer actions so each invoice-signature record is verifiable for audits and disputes.
Configurable reminder schedules for unpaid invoices and unsigned documents to increase completion rates without manual follow-up from staff.
Responsive signing experience and mobile apps for on-site lease signings, enabling tenants and agents to complete invoices and signatures from any device.
Prebuilt invoice templates let teams reuse property-specific line items, tax rules, and payment terms to reduce input errors and standardize billing across units and properties.
Embedding a Stripe payment link on the invoice simplifies tenant payments by accepting cards, digital wallets, or ACH and immediately recording the transaction in Stripe.
Mapping signature, date, and initial fields directly to invoice PDFs saves time and ensures the required authorization appears at the correct document locations.
Automated transfer of paid invoice data to accounting or property management systems reduces reconciliation time and minimizes posting errors.
