What sits underneath

Your money. Your bank. A clear record.

Rent goes straight to your bank.

It settles directly to you, from your own merchant account. DoorStax never holds your money.

Every payment is on the record.

Each payment and charge is a permanent entry. Corrections are added, never rewritten.

Checked every night.

Your ledger is reconciled against processor settlement each night. A declined payment never shows as paid.

Card processing by Kadima Payments. PCI DSS compliant.

What it costs

$1 per unit per month.$100 monthly minimum.

With fewer than 100 units you pay $100 a month. If you own just a few units, weigh the minimum before you start. That is the software price; payment processing is priced on your merchant account.

Questions landlords actually ask

Is DoorStax a good fit for a small landlord?

DoorStax is $1 per unit per month with a $100 monthly minimum, so it suits you when you run enough rentals to want one clear system for all of them. If you own just a few units, weigh the minimum before you start. The 14-day trial is free, with no card.

How do my tenants pay?

By bank account (ACH) or card, in the tenant portal or the mobile app. They see the amount before they confirm, and every payment lands in your ledger with a receipt.

Who actually holds the money?

You do. Rent settles directly to your bank from your own Kadima Payments merchant account. DoorStax never holds, pools or transmits your funds.

Do I need a merchant account?

Yes. Rent settles directly to you, so you open a merchant account in your name with Kadima Payments, with our help, before you collect rent through DoorStax. Timing depends on your merchant account approval, so we do not quote a number of days.

Can I move my current properties and tenants over?

Yes. Import properties, units and tenants from a CSV export, review them, then invite each tenant by email. Each tenant adds a bank account or card once.

What does DoorStax cost?

$1 per unit per month, with a $100 monthly minimum. No percentage of rent, no per-building fees and no setup costs. That is the software price; payment processing is priced on your merchant account. Start free for 14 days, no card.

Is DoorStax available on mobile?

Yes. The mobile app is live on Google Play, with a side for you and a side for your tenants. On iPhone it is available by invitation only at the moment. Tenants can also pay in the tenant portal.
