Flux gives commercial real estate firms ACH for rent and deposits, cards for application and holding fees, and a QuickBooks sync so three people can agree on the same number.
Why commercial real estate firms choose Flux
ACH for rent and deposits
Collect recurring rent and large deposits over ACH instead of paying card rates on every payment.
Card fees for the small stuff
Application and holding fees are a natural fit for cards where speed matters more than rate.
Books that match
A QuickBooks sync categorizes rent, fees, and deposits so reconciliation is not a monthly argument.
How commercial real estate firms get paid
Commercial Real Estate Firms usually collect rent and earnest money over ACH for the friendlier economics, take application and holding fees by card, and reconcile it all through Flux.
A typical Flux setup for commercial real estate firms
Commercial rent is large, scheduled, and invoice-driven. Tenants pay five and six figure monthly amounts against a lease ledger, which makes ACH the working rail, settling in 1 to 3 business days without card-limit concerns. CAM reconciliations, percentage rent true-ups, and tenant improvement billings go out as invoices with payment links attached. Card acceptance stays available for smaller items like parking, conference space, or application fees at the flat 2.9 percent plus 30 cents.
At portfolio scale the interesting part is the plumbing. The full REST API posts payments back into lease administration software so a tenant's ledger, not a bank statement, is the source of truth, and QuickBooks sync covers entities that keep their books there. Firms with meaningful card volume, corporate cards on smaller recurring charges for instance, can move to custom interchange-plus pricing rather than the flat rate as volume grows across the portfolio.
What commercial real estate firms should watch
Net terms create a gap between invoicing and cash that consumer-style processing never sees. A tenant on net 30 who pays by ACH on day 29 has funds settling on day 31 or 32, so aging reports should distinguish initiated from settled. Partial payments are common in commercial tenancy, especially during CAM disputes, and how you apply them can affect default remedies, so post every payment per the lease's application-of-payments clause.
The compliance texture here is entity complexity. Each property typically sits in its own ownership entity with its own lender requirements, lockbox instructions, or cash management agreements, and payment flows must respect those documents, so settle each entity to its own designated account. Chargebacks are rare with business tenants, but when a dispute arrives it tends to be large, so keep executed leases and invoices linked to payments where a response can cite them directly.
Simple, transparent pricing
Flux charges a flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume commercial real estate firms and the option to pass the fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow. No setup fees and no contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee.

Can a tenant pay a six-figure monthly rent through Flux?
Yes, by ACH, which handles commercial-scale amounts and settles in 1 to 3 business days. Most firms send an invoice with a payment link and let the tenant's accounts payable team schedule it. Card payments remain available for smaller ancillary charges.
Can Flux post payments back into our lease administration system?
Yes, through the full REST API. Payments, refunds, and settlement events can flow into lease administration or accounting software so tenant ledgers update without manual entry. QuickBooks sync covers entities that keep their books there instead.
How should we handle CAM reconciliation billing?
Send the reconciliation as an invoice with an ACH payment link, and accept partial payment where the lease contemplates disputes. Because payments post against specific invoices through the API, a contested CAM balance stays visibly separate from base rent, which keeps default notices accurate.
