Payment Methods

The Payment Methods section lets you define how payments are represented in your space.

You can access it from:

User menu > Settings > Payment Methods

Configured payment methods are used in generated documents, including:

• Rent receipts
• Rent due notices
• Lease-related document templates

Important:

• At least one method should be marked as default.
• After adding or editing methods, click Save Changes in the main section to apply updates.

Current limitation
