Payments Tailor-Made for
Property Management
Pay Theory focuses on what we call “Must Pay”—industries people must access whether or not they have the money. At the top of the list stands housing. We are building payments not for the needs of retail or eCommerce but for the unique challenges of must pay industries like housing.
Get Started
Thinking Differently About Payments
Pay Theory offers three classes of tech wrapped in one solution: Functionality designed specifically for property management, hard-to-find features, and standard features you'd expect from a payments company.
Inclusive Payments
Accept card, ACH, and cash! Digital payment solutions have made paying with cash a real problem. We work with what we call “must-pay services” to help remove barriers between families and organizations by providing payments solution built for everyone.
Information Hierarchy
Most payment solutions don’t allow you to see ‘sub-merchants’ information. For example, a hospital could see what each location is doing but they wouldn’t be able to see individual transactions. With Pay Theory, they can.
Contained Systems
Every Pay Theory client is run on a unique isolated environment, causing their payment solution to be unaffected by other systems. Should one system go down, your system is untouched and keeps running smoothly.

Multiple Bank Accounts
Most payment solutions don’t allow you to associate various bank accounts per client. Now you can, with Pay Theory. This is a huge win for property management and all complex networks.
Underwriting
Don’t let this be a barrier to offering payments. We safely and securely underwrite must-pay industries like housing.
Transactional Meta-Data
Create A-ha moments by combining your data models with Pay Theory’s data models.
Revshare
Our SaaS partners have the opportunity to share in the payments revenue. That means not only do you get a new feature without the developmental costs, but you get a new revenue generating feature.

Tailored Implementation
More than a form! We break down implementation into 4 sections; Financial Solutions, Technical Success, Team Training, Payments Go-To-Market.
Level 2/3 Processing
Enhances transaction detail and eligibility for lower interchange rates with Level 2 and Level 3 processing.

API’s
