What is No-Cost AvidPay for Rent Manager users?
For over eight years, AvidXchange and Rent Manager have been working together to bring users the best accounts payable (AP) automation solution, and No-Cost AvidPay emerged as the next step in the evolution of our partnership.
No-Cost AvidPay is an automated payments solution embedded within Rent Manager that allows users to streamline their payment process without leaving the Rent Manager ecosystem – for no cost.

How does No-Cost AvidPay work within Rent Manager?
We’ve had the same integration with Rent Manager for more than eight years – but we made a couple updates. Once your business has implemented No-Cost AvidPay, you’ll enter the bills like you do now. When you click on the “pay bills” to make the payment, you will now have an option called AvidPay.
Within that single-screen dashboard, you can also see the status of your payments. This means you don’t have to spend extra time switching in and out of several different software programs.
We also changed how we bill users of this solution. We waive fees for companies that process at least 50% of their payments through AvidXchange.
