Property Management Payment Processing & Merchant Services
Rent by ACH, automated recurring payments, and invoicing for tenants and owners. GoPayhawk builds property management payment solutions around bank transfers instead of card fees.
Property Management Payment Solutions Start with Rent by ACH
Rent is large, recurring, and predictable. That is exactly the payment ACH was built for.
Rent is a check-sized payment that arrives on the same day every month, and running it on a card means paying a percentage fee on every one. ACH moves money bank to bank at a lower per-transaction cost than card processing, which is why GoPayhawk lists property management among the ideal uses for its ACH product. Tenants authorize once, the draft runs on schedule, and the money lands without anyone re-keying a card number.
GoPayhawk sets property managers up with one-time and recurring ACH scheduling, web-based tenant authorization through a simple online form, same-day ACH for time-sensitive transfers, and NACHA-compliant processing with full return code management. Card acceptance, a virtual terminal for phone payments, and invoice payment links for owner billing and move-in charges sit on the same account. Processing is powered by Elavon, a U.S. Bank company.

Card Fees on Check-Sized Payments
A percentage fee on a $1,800 rent payment is a very different number from the same percentage on a coffee. ACH charges a flat per-transaction fee rather than a percentage, so the cost of collecting rent stops scaling with the rent.
Late Rent and Manual Follow-Up
Chasing payments is staff time. Recurring ACH drafts run on schedule without anyone touching them, invoice reminders go out automatically, and you can see which invoices were sent, viewed, and paid in real time.
Reconciling Across Properties
Dozens of units means dozens of deposits to match. Transactions auto-post to QuickBooks Online or Desktop, reconciliation is instant, and your merchant dashboard keeps full transaction history and reporting in one place.
