Taking Partial Payments in 6Storage
Steps for taking a tenant's payment that does not cover the entire balance
Partial payments cannot be paid by tenants online through the Rental Hub. This option is only available for the facility Operators through the Admin Portal.
Step 1: Locate the Tenant Profile
Start by navigating to the tenant’s profile:
- Use the search bar at the top for a quick search
- Or, go to the Tenants tab in the toolbar at the top and find the tenant in the list

Step 2: Select the “Pay Now” Option
At the top of the tenant’s profile, you will see:
- The tenant’s account balance
- A Pay Now button—click this to begin the payment process

Step 3: Choose Invoices to Apply the Payment To
After clicking Pay Now, a list of the tenant’s outstanding invoices will appear:
- All invoices are selected by default
- You can uncheck invoices to apply the partial payment to specific charges only
- If a tenant has multiple units you will need to select invoices from one unit at a time
- You cannot make one partial payment that applies to multiple units

Step 4: Changing the Payment Amount
On the right side of the screen, you'll see:
- Amount Paying — This shows the total amount that will be recorded for this transaction
Make sure this amount reflects what the tenant is paying in this transaction.

Step 5: Viewing how the Payment is Applied
On the right side of the screen, you'll see:
- Click To Open Payment Details — This shows the details of how the partial payment will be applied to each line item


Adjusting the Partial Payment Order
In settings > Financial settings > Payment > Payment adjustment you can choose the order these partial payments are applied.
- Click the Pencil Icon to Edit

- Here you can click and drag the item categories into any order you would like using the boxes on the left
- When a partial payment is made the funds will apply to the items on this list in order until the remainder is left as a balance still owed.

Step 6: Select the Payment Type
At the bottom of the screen, use the Payment Type dropdown to choose how the tenant is paying:
- Credit Card or ACH – You’ll be prompted to enter the tenant’s payment details
- Cash, Check, or other manual methods – You’ll simply select the payment date and reference number if needed
