How M-Pesa Rent Collection Works
1
Tenant or customer receives a ZivoPay link, Paybill reference, Till, or STK Push prompt.
2
RentalDesk captures the payment or your team records a manual payment.
3
The payment is matched to the correct tenant and unit.
4
Partial payments reduce the balance, and overpayments are visible for review.
5
Rent balance and arrears status are updated automatically.
6
Tenant or customer sees the page update to paid and receives receipt context.
7
Landlord sees paid, part-paid, unpaid, and overdue tenants.
8
Unmatched, unclear, or duplicate payments are reviewed in the reconciliation queue.

FAQ
Common questions about RentalDesk
Answers about setup, security, payments, and how RentalDesk fits landlord and agency workflows.

ZivoPay is the branded payment-link experience inside RentalDesk and Zivo. Teams can share secure invoice links from WhatsApp chats, trigger M-Pesa STK prompts, and let the invoice update automatically after payment confirmation.
Can tenants pay partial rent?
Yes. RentalDesk can show part-paid tenants and update the remaining balance so managers know who has paid in full and who still owes rent.

Unmatched, unclear, or duplicate M-Pesa payments can be reviewed in a reconciliation workflow before they are linked to the correct tenant, unit, or account.
