How to Collect Rent Online
Accept rent payments via Ozow Instant EFT, SnapScan QR, or PayFast card. Payments settle directly to your bank with zero percentage cut — Plinth never holds tenant funds.
Step-by-step rent collection
Set up your lease
Create a lease record for your tenant with the monthly rent amount, due date, and payment reference. This gives Plinth the expected payment data it needs to match incoming transactions.
Invite your tenant to the portal
Send your tenant an invite to the Plinth tenant portal. The portal is mobile-friendly — no app download required. Tenants can pay rent, view receipts, and download their lease.
Tenant chooses a payment method
Tenants can pay via EFT using a reference number, instant EFT through Ozow, PayFast card, or QR code through SnapScan. Payments settle directly to your bank account — Plinth never holds or touches tenant funds (zero custody).
Automatic receipts and reconciliation
Receipts are generated automatically and emailed to tenants. Payments are matched to your lease using 4-factor scoring (amount, reference, date, tenant name). High-confidence matches post automatically to your ledger.
Track payment status
See who has paid, who hasn't, and who is overdue at a glance. Set up automated payment reminders and rent notifications via email and WhatsApp (WhatsApp charged separately).
