Connecting your M-Pesa paybill

How payments find the right unit, what tenants should type as the account number, and what to do when they get it wrong.

Automatic reconciliation depends on one thing: every payment arriving with enough information to match it to a unit. A few minutes on this step saves hours every month.

  1. 1In Hodi, open Settings and choose Payments.
  2. 2Enter your paybill or till number and confirm the business name.
  3. 3Choose how tenants identify themselves — unit label is the simplest.
  4. 4Send tenants the updated payment instructions from Hodi.

When the account number is wrong

Payments that cannot be matched land in an Unmatched list rather than disappearing. Assign them to the right unit once, and Hodi remembers that phone number for next time.

TipKeep your paybill for rent only. Mixing in other business payments makes reconciliation — and your MRI figure — harder to trust.
