Keeping rental payments up to date is essential for effective property management, especially when tenants pay through bank transfers, cash deposits, mobile wallets, or other payment methods that are not integrated directly with ShifTenant. Manually opening each invoice and confirming the payment one by one can be slow and repetitive.
That is where Bulk Pay comes in.
What is Bulk Pay?
Bulk Pay is a ShifTenant feature that allows you to manually confirm multiple invoice payments at the same time. It is designed for situations where payments have already been received through external payment channels and you need to update your invoices quickly and accurately.
By processing invoice notes or payment messages in bulk, you can confirm dozens or even hundreds of invoice payments in a single upload, saving time, reducing manual work, and improving payment reconciliation.
When should you use Bulk Pay?
Bulk Pay is ideal when:
- Tenants pay via bank transfer.
- Payments are received in cash.
- Payments come through third-party payment platforms.
- You receive a batch of payments that need to be reconciled against existing invoices.
How to use Bulk Pay
Using Bulk Pay in ShifTenant is simple:
- Select the payment type you want to use when processing the invoice notes or payment messages.
- Download the Bulk Pay import template provided in ShifTenant.
- Replace the values in the INVOICECODE column with the invoice codes you want to process. You can obtain these invoice codes from the Invoice Notes / Payment Messages page.
- Upload the completed template to confirm all the selected invoice payments in bulk.
Why property managers use Bulk Pay
Bulk Pay helps landlords and property managers:
- Save time by confirming many payments at once.
- Reduce manual errors during payment reconciliation.
- Keep tenant payment records accurate and up to date.
- Improve financial reporting by ensuring invoices reflect their correct payment status.
Whether you manage a small apartment building or a large portfolio of residential and commercial properties, Bulk Pay in ShifTenant simplifies payment reconciliation and helps you maintain accurate invoice records with minimal effort.
If you are looking for a faster way to update payments received outside your integrated payment channels, Bulk Pay is one of the most efficient tools available in ShifTenant.
