How to Set Up and Use Billing Profiles

Billing profiles help simplify your billing process by allowing you to create separate profiles, add logos, and set defaults. They also help maintain a professional appearance in your financial documents, strengthen brand consistency, and improve billing efficiency.

Note: TrueCost is currently in beta and available to all customers on our Ops tier plan. If you’re not on the Ops tier but are interested in learning more about TrueCost, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
 

Create a New Billing Profile
 

Step 1: Open your company menu

From anywhere in Property Meld, click your company name in the upper-right corner, and then click on Account Settings.

Step 2: Open Invoicing settings

In Account Settings, click Invoicing.

Step 3: Add a new billing profile

On the Billing Profiles page, you will see your current default profile. To create a new one, click Add a new profile.

Step 4: Enter the billing profile details

Fill in the billing profile information, including your business address, phone number, and website. If you want this profile to become your default, turn on Make this the default billing profile.

Step 5: Choose which logo to use

Under the Logo section, choose whether to use your existing white labeling logo or upload a new logo specifically for this billing profile.

Step 6: Upload a billing profile logo

If you choose to upload a new logo, click Upload your own logo and select the image file you want to use.

Step 7: Create the billing profile

After all details are entered, click Create to save the new billing profile.


Billing Profile Payee Options by Integration

The payee, or Pay To, options available when creating a billing profile depend on your accounting integration.

  • AppFolio and Rentvine: You can select either Management Company or a specific Vendor as the payee.
  • Buildium and Propertyware: Only Vendor is available as the payee. Management Company will not appear as an option.

This is expected behavior based on how each accounting integration supports bill payees and applies whether or not TrueCost is enabled.

If you use Buildium or Propertyware, select Vendor as the payee type and choose the vendor record you want to use as the payee.
