Simplify Multi-Unit Billing with the New Billing Profile Feature

  • Bill Date: Specifies when tenants are billed.
  • Email Invoice: Controls for sending invoices via email.
  • Autopay Payment Method: Details the autopay method used.
  • Offset between Autopay Date and Bill Date: Customizes when autopay is processed with the bill date.
