How matching works
Every unit gets an account number. When a tenant pays using it, the payment lands against their balance within seconds and a receipt goes out automatically.
Payments made with the wrong account number appear in Unmatched. Assign them manually and RentPoa remembers that phone number next time.
Partial and overpayments
A partial payment reduces the balance and keeps the invoice open. Overpayments become a credit applied to the next cycle.
