  2. Select Pay balance
  3. Choose one of the following options and select Next
    1. The outstanding balance only
    2. The outstanding balance and prepay for future months. Changing the # of months the tenant prepays will automatically calculate how much they owe
    3. A fixed amount if you accept partial payments
    4. An upfront discount package
  4. Enter a new payment method or select a pre-existing payment method
    1. Cubby’s payment methods include: 
      1. Credit / Debit cards 
      2. ACH
      3. Manual methods (Check, Cash, Offline Card and more)

  5.  When adding a new Credit / Debit card or ACH method, you can also opt into AutoPay with your tenant’s approval. Select Save, select your newly entered payment method and hit Pay Now

  2. They will receive a confirmation email each month when AutoPay runs
  3. If a tenant opens their unique payment link and they are already enrolled in AutoPay:
    1. There is a message informing them that their card will be automatically charged on their next payment date
