Does Paidnice work with that? Yes, that is exactly where Paidnice sits: it reads the tenant invoices already in QuickBooks or Xero and runs the reminders, late fees, statements and payment portal for self-storage operators from there. Nothing about your billing run changes, and there is no second system to keep in sync. Can a self-storage facility charge late fees on unit rent? Yes, when your self-storage rental agreement provides for one, and Paidnice adds it to the invoice on schedule with the running balance visible to the tenant. Many states cap the amount or timing in their self-storage statutes, and Paidnice does not decide that for you: you set the fee your agreement and state allow. Check your state rules if you are unsure. What happens when a tenant's autopay card fails? The storage tenant fixes it from their phone, usually before anyone at the front desk picks up a handset: when the invoice in QuickBooks or Xero goes past due, Paidnice starts the schedule you set, an email in the first day or two and an SMS behind it, each carrying a pay link. Usually it is an expired card and the tenant is still willing to pay. What does Paidnice cost for self storage operators? Self-storage operators start on Essentials from US$69, £49 or A$99 a month, priced by invoice volume, not revenue. There are no contracts, and your first 20 actions are free. A contractor rents three units from us. Do they get three separate chases? One statement and one payment: a self-storage business tenant with several units gets a consolidated statement covering everything they owe, with a single link that pays all of it in one card or ACH transaction. The payments match back to the right invoices in QuickBooks or Xero automatically. No tenant has to untangle three emails about three units to work out one balance. Does this replace our facility management software? No, self-storage operators keep their gate software, unit map, and move-ins exactly where they are today. Paidnice only works the money side: it reads the tenant invoices in QuickBooks or Xero and handles reminders, late fees, statements, and payment. If your billing never reaches the ledger as per-tenant invoices, talk to us first and we will tell you straight whether it fits. ## Stop letting past-due rent quietly pile up. Connect Xero or QuickBooks and Paidnice prepares draft policies for you. Nothing runs until you approve them.
