Connecting your bank and payouts

Connect Stripe so tenants can pay rent in-app and payouts settle to your bank — and how payout timing works.

For an eligible account, a landlord connects Stripe under Settings → Accept rent payments and completes the provider's hosted onboarding. Available methods, settlement timing, provider charges, and any Aptoria payment charge are shown during setup; completing a form alone does not guarantee payment availability.

It helps to have a few things ready before you start, since the Stripe form is the most common place a new landlord stalls.

The agent cannot collect, refund, or move any money until Stripe onboarding is complete and your account is fully verified. Until then the rent ledger is read-only. The connected view shows three flags — charges enabled, payouts enabled, and details submitted — so you can see exactly where verification stands and continue onboarding if Stripe needs more.

Once your account is verified, rent that tenants pay settles to the bank account on your Stripe account. Payout timing follows Stripe's standard schedule for your account rather than a fixed number set by Aptoria, so the exact timing is what Stripe shows for your account.

Where bank-linking is enabled, a tenant can use Plaid to connect and verify a bank account during payment setup. Plaid does not itself pull rent in this workflow; the eligible Stripe-connected payment flow processes the authorized payment. Autopay also requires tenant authorization and an enabled account workflow.
