Credit or debit card payments can be made from a Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Diners Club, Discover, and UnionPay branded card from any country. American Express, gift cards, or prepaid cards are not accepted.

You can use a personal or business checking or savings account. Make sure to enter the routing and account number exactly as they appear on your checks and confirm the account has sufficient funds before paying.

You are shown the maximum you can pay at the time of payment in the Online Portal. If you encounter the following message, you may have hit a limit we put in place for fraud protection. Please ask your property manager to contact AppFolio about the issue.

You are shown the maximum you can pay at the time of payment in the Online Portal. The maximum amount allowed for a single credit or debit payment is shown in the table below:

Please note, if your recurring charge amount increases or if you start paying for a new unit in the same Online Portal, the max allowed for a credit or debit card payment will not change. This only applies to payments made via credit or debit card, so you can switch to eCheck to pay a larger amount in one payment.

To increase the max amount you're allowed to match your current recurring charge amount, please ask your property manager to contact AppFolio about the issue, but please know that your transaction fee will also increase.

eCheck payments appear as "[your management company]". Credit or debit card payments appear as "AF* [your management company]." Any applicable fee will appear separately as APPFOLIO_TXNFEE.

Please contact your property manager and they can provide you with a receipt. You can also see record of your payments on the Account Ledger in your Online Portal.
