Opening Configuration and understanding the tabs
In the account portal, click Configuration in the sidebar.
Tabs:
- Guidance — expandable help for each integration (Stripe, Plaid, Firma, Checkr, QuickBooks, accounting).
- Organization keys — per-org API keys and toggles (e.g. Plaid client IDs, Firma workspace IDs). Stripe platform keys are managed by Tenantivo, not here.
- Payment & Stripe — Stripe Connect onboarding, accept-payments toggle, fee absorption, late fees, auto-pay, and fee preview.
- Checkr — default screening packages, payer, and screening fee for new applications.
- Tenant uploads — settings for documents tenants can upload in the portal.
Guidance tab — integrations overview
Expand each integration on the Guidance tab for requirements, setup steps, and links to detailed training:
- Stripe / tenant payments — Workspace → Payments training; connect and configure under Payment & Stripe.
- Plaid — bank linking and transaction import; Plaid training; org keys under Organization keys.
- Firma — e-signatures for leases; Firma training; enabled by Tenantivo, optional workspace IDs in Organization keys.
- Checkr — Tenantivo provisions API access; set defaults on the Checkr tab (not Organization keys).
- QuickBooks, accounting — see linked training topics from each guidance panel.
Mark integrations as reviewed when setup is complete so your team knows what is ready.
Organization keys tab
- Open Organization keys.
- Enter required API keys or IDs for each integration (e.g. Plaid, optional Firma workspace IDs).
- Toggle Active to enable or disable each integration.
- Save changes.
Note: Checkr and Stripe platform credentials are provisioned by Tenantivo administrators; Account Managers configure Checkr defaults on the Checkr tab and tenant rent on Payment & Stripe.
Payment & Stripe tab
This tab is your control center for tenant rent and deposit payments (separate from your Tenantivo subscription billing):
- Connect with Stripe — Stripe Express onboarding so rent routes to your bank.
- Accept payments — master switch to pause all tenant charges.
- Fee absorption, partial payments, auto-pay, late fees — see Payments training for full detail.
A live fee preview against a sample rent charge shows what the tenant pays vs. what you receive before you save.
Checkr tab — screening defaults
- Open the Checkr tab.
- Select default screening packages.
- Choose who pays for screening (applicant or organization).
- Set the screening fee.
- Save changes.
Tenant uploads tab
- Open Tenant uploads.
- Select allowed document types for tenants.
- Set any upload limits if applicable.
- Save changes.
Tip: Align upload requirements with your application checklist so tenants know what to provide upfront.
How configuration affects management users
What to know: Organization-level configuration applies to everyone using the management app for your org. When you disable a module or turn off accept-payments, managers and tenants see the result immediately or on next login. Account Manager & Managers only pages (Organization, Users, subscription billing) are not visible in the management app.
Best practice: Communicate with your team before turning off a feature they rely on.
