Your entire portfolio. One dashboard. Real product, demo portfolio.
What serious operators check first
You're the merchant of record
Rent settles to a merchant account you own. It never routes through us — DoorStax is the technology, not the middleman.
An append-only ledger
Corrections post as new entries, not edits. Your books stay provable — to owners, accountants, and lenders.
Two prices, tenant's choice
Bank price and card price, shown side by side before the tenant confirms. Card costs never land on you.
Payments-company DNA
DoorStax Technologies, LLC is payments infrastructure first. The property software grew around the ledger, not the other way round.

Sound familiar?
Rent collection shouldn't feel like a second job.
Most property managers are stitching together spreadsheets, bank transfers, and manual follow-ups every single month.
How many hours does your team spend chasing late payments each month?
Every hour on collections is an hour not spent on growth.
Do you know exactly which units paid, which are pending, and which failed — right now?
Without real-time visibility, you're always operating a month behind.
What if your rent collection could generate revenue instead of just costing you?
On the right platform, collecting rent supports your margins instead of eroding them.
01 — Collect
Every payment arrives with a name, a unit, and a ledger entry.
This is the live Money In view — every payment across the portfolio with its method, status, and settlement. Tenants pay by bank or card, with both prices shown side by side before they confirm. No mystery deposits, no end-of-month spreadsheet archaeology — rent settles to a merchant account you own, and it never routes through us.
- ACH and every major card, on a merchant account you own — you're the merchant of record, and rent settles directly to you.
- Autopay with pre-charge notices and smart retries — failed payments re-run themselves before your team hears about them.
- Chargebacks surface the moment they hit, with the reason, deadline, and ARN — nothing slips past the response window.
Real product, demo portfolio.
Illustrative entries — the real ledger is yours.
02 — Prove it
Books your accountant can trust without taking your word for it.
Every payment, charge, refund, and adjustment is an entry with a timestamp and an author. Nothing is ever overwritten — a correction is a new entry that references the one it reverses. Underneath sits a real general ledger, so the numbers your owners see and the numbers your accountant exports are the same numbers.
- Append-only by design: refunds and corrections reference the original entry — no silent edits, even by us.
- Every payment is matched to its unit and its settlement automatically, every day. No spreadsheet ritual.
- A real general ledger behind it: owner statements, clean exports for your accountant, and a tax center with 1099s.
03 — Pay owners
Owner statements that add themselves up.
Gross rent, management fees, and expenses roll up per owner straight from the ledger — not from a spreadsheet somebody maintains. Review the drafts, approve, and send. Every figure on the statement traces back to an entry an owner can be shown.
- Monthly payouts calculated automatically, with your management fees and pass-through expenses already deducted.
- Draft → approve → send in one pass, for every owner at once.
- Owners stop calling to ask where a number came from. The answer is on the statement.
Real product, demo portfolio.
Depth where payment platforms usually get thin.
DoorStax runs the whole tenancy — from the first application to the final inspection — on the same ledger the money lives on.
04 — Lease & onboard
Leasing & tenants
- A full leasing funnel: listings, applications, and screening — every applicant tracked from listed to approved.
- Tenant portal and mobile app: pay by bank or card, autopay, receipts, maintenance requests — nobody calls the office to pay rent.
- 7-step guided tenant onboarding and 20+ branded emails — reminders, receipts, overdue notices — all under your logo.
- Lease-expiration alerts before they become vacancies.
05 — Maintain & turn over
Maintenance & vendors
- Work orders by priority, assigned from a vendor directory with W-9 status for clean 1099s.
- Templated move-in / move-out inspections with photos, e-signatures, and auto-generated work orders.
- Guided turnovers from notice to make-ready, so vacant units get back to revenue faster.
- Expenses with splits — assign to tenants, owners, or insurance; tenant-payable expenses invoice themselves.
06 — AutomateStax AI · Beta
The month runs itself. You read the digest.
Rent reminders, overdue notices, autopay runs, lease-expiration alerts, recurring expenses, and daily reconciliation all fire on their own. On top sits Stax, the AI copilot built into DoorStax. “Who's behind on rent?” “Which leases expire next month?” — answers in seconds, no reports to run. It sends a daily morning digest, and you can even connect your own Claude or ChatGPT. Read-only and scoped to your account; it never touches your money.

The second revenue line
Your rent roll is already generating payment volume. Start earning from it.
Most property managers pay for payment processing. DoorStax flips the model — you earn a revenue share on every card and ACH payment processed through your portfolio. The more your portfolio grows, the more you earn.
- Tenants choose between the bank price and the card price — card costs never land on you.
- You control ACH fee structures for your property owners.
- Revenue share rates improve automatically as your portfolio scales.
- All earnings tracked and reported in your dashboard.

A note from the founder
I spent years in payments before I ever touched property management, and everywhere I looked I saw the same thing: software that treats rent — the entire point of the business — like a checkout button bolted on the side. So we built DoorStax the other way around. The ledger came first, and everything else grew on top of it. You're the merchant of record here, on a merchant account you own; rent settles directly to you and never routes through us. And every payment, refund, and correction is a permanent entry — because when you're managing other people's buildings and other people's money, “trust me” isn't an accounting method. If that's how you already think about your business, you'll feel at home in about ten minutes.
— Moshe, founder, DoorStax

Frequently asked questions
How do property managers earn on rent payments?
DoorStax lets you set your fee structure. With dual pricing, tenants see a bank price and a card price and choose; you can pass card costs through or absorb them. On qualifying volume you can also earn a share of processing — so collecting rent can support your margins instead of eroding them.
Is DoorStax the merchant of record?
No. The property manager or landlord is the merchant of record, operating under their own merchant account. DoorStax is a payment technology provider — not the merchant of record and not a money transmitter. Payment processing is powered by Kadima Payments.
Can I migrate from Buildium, AppFolio, or Yardi?
Yes. Import your entire portfolio — properties, units, tenants, and balances — with the CSV migration tool, or start from our template. Most portfolios are set up in well under an hour.
How fast do funds arrive, and how does reconciliation work?
Card payments typically deposit within 1–3 business days; ACH settles on the standard bank timeline. Every payment posts to an immutable ledger and is matched to the right unit automatically, with clean ledgers generated daily.
Do tenants need to call my office to pay?
No. Tenants pay online or in the mobile app by bank or card, set up autopay, download receipts, and submit maintenance requests themselves — so your team spends less time on collections.
