Getting started

Create your first facility

Set up a facility in Storage Facility Creator: name and address, unit capacity, time zone, grace period, late fee and how you want to get paid.

5 stepsUpdated

Steps

  1. Step 1: Open Facilities in the sidebar and click Create Facility.

  2. Step 2: Enter the name, address, phone and email, then the Unit capacity (max) and the Time Zone the facility runs on.

  3. Step 3: Set the Grace Period (Days) and the Late Fee Type (Flat Amount or Percentage) with its amount. You can change both later.

  4. Step 4: Pick Payment Processing: Stripe if you want to take cards right away, or I'll decide later.

  5. Step 5: Finish the wizard. Then open Settings > Onboarding for the checklist that takes you from here to taking rent by card.

Good to know

  • More settings live in Facilities > the facility's menu > Edit: Charge late fees automatically, Default security deposit ($), Message on statements and the online rental switches.
  • One login runs every facility you create. Pick All Facilities at the top to see them together, or one facility to work in it.
