Property Management

Collect Rent. Pay Owners. All on One Platform.


Payload automates rent, deposits, fees, and owner and vendor payouts for property managers and the property management software platforms that serve them — across ACH, card, and instant payment rails, through one unified API.

Less time reconciling, more time managing properties.

Monthly rent, HOA dues, application fees, security deposits, and late fees arrive on different rails and schedules, while vendor payouts and owner disbursements go out on their own timelines. With Payload, every one of those flows runs on a single platform — and every transaction hits the same ledger.

Built for both sides of property management

Whether you manage properties or build the software that does, Payload runs every property payment on one platform.

Every dollar, routed automatically

Residents pay on the rail they prefer. Payload applies your funding rules and routes each payment to the right account — owners, managers, vendors, and deposit accounts — on one ledger.

All flows. Any direction.

Any method. One platform.

Collect from residents

Residents pay rent, deposits, and fees by ACH (Next Day and Same Day), credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, RTP and FedNow, or Check21.

Pay owners, managers, and vendors

Payload applies your funding rules and routes each payment: net proceeds to owners, management fees to managers, payouts to vendors and contractors, and security deposits to segregated per-unit accounts.

Put rent on autopay

Integrated invoicing and billing schedules keep rent on time. Recurring ACH includes retry logic and resident notifications, so fewer payments slip through the cracks.

  • Billing schedules with autopay
  • Brandable invoice PDFs and receipts
  • Automatic retries and resident notifications

Split every payment automatically

Set split-funding rules once — management fee to the manager, remainder to the owner — and Payload enforces them on every transaction, across complex ownership structures.

  • Dynamic split routing per property
  • Netted, gross, or itemized funding
  • Supports LLCs and multiple funding accounts
Example: $2,000 rent split into a $200 management fee and $1,800 to the owner

Handle security deposits the right way

Collect deposits at lease signing and refund them automatically at lease end. Synthetic accounts segregate deposits per unit — designed to help meet state trust account requirements like California and New York.

  • Per-unit deposit segregation
  • Automated refunds at lease end
  • Available in the US and Canada

Launch quickly with hosted payment links, a branded payment portal, and ready-made UI components.

Modular APIs

Mix the REST API with embeddable components to build payments natively into your product.

Backend-only

Keep your own front end and use Payload for processing, split funding, payouts, and webhooks.

import { Checkout } from 'payload-react'
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react'

export default function CheckoutButton() {
  const [clientToken, setClientToken] = useState(null)

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/checkout_intent')
      .then((r) => r.json())
      .then((data) => setClientToken(data.token))
  }, [])

  if (!clientToken) return <div>Loading...</div>

  return (
    <Checkout
      clientToken={clientToken}
      amount={49.99}
      onSuccess={(evt) => {
        console.log('Payment:', evt.transaction?.id)
      }}
    />
  )
}
