How pre-authorized debits (PAD) work in Plexflow
How PAD works in Plexflow
PAD (pre-authorized debits) let you collect rent automatically, directly from the tenant’s bank account.
👉 Once they are enabled, payments are:
- withdrawn automatically
- recorded in Plexflow
- associated with the corresponding rent
This reduces manual follow-up, limits missed payments, and centralizes all payment management in one place.
Why use PAD?
PAD offers several advantages:
- ✅ Less manual work
- 📊 Centralized payment tracking
- 🔄 A reliable, automated process
👉 The result: you save time and improve your rental management.
Usage fees
- 💲 $0.99 per completed transaction
- 🚫 No monthly fee
👉 You pay only when the payment is completed, the following month.
Payment receipt timelines
Two options are available:
- ⚡ the option that advances the funds: deposit in 1 business day
- 🏦 Without advance: a variable delay depending on the financial institutions
👉 Funds advance lets you receive your money faster, even if the withdrawal is still being processed.
If a payment is declined
Fees may apply:
- 💸 $25 (insufficient funds)
- 💸 $5 (other reasons)
Verification required (mandatory)
Before you can use PAD, you must connect and verify your bank account.
👉 This step is mandatory to meet security standards and allow withdrawals.
