For billboard and outdoor advertising operators
An ad face is a rented space like any other: it has a location, a rate, and a term. RentMerchant treats each one as its own unit, so a bulletin, a wall mural, and a slot on a digital display can each carry their own rate and their own invoice. Your client pays online, and the bill lands where their accounts payable team can actually process it.
Your tenant is an accounts payable department
The name on the contract is a brand or an agency, and the person who signed it is not the person who pays it. The invoice has to arrive by email, as something AP can file and route, carrying the contract or purchase order reference. A nudge to the marketing lead who booked the face does nothing.
Every face prices differently
Traffic, size, illumination, and whether the face is digital all move the rate, so there is no single rent across your inventory. Rebuilding the billing by hand for each contract is where the errors creep in, and a face billed at the wrong number for a full term is money you never see.
Flights end, and the gap is expensive
Contracts run in flights and terms, not open-ended tenancy. A term quietly runs out, the renewal conversation starts late, and the face goes dark while the structure still costs you ground rent, power, and permits.
Invoices built for accounts payable
Set the rate once and the invoice goes out on schedule and emails itself to the address on the account, so put the accounts payable address there. Every invoice also has a PDF you can download and send on for their records. Email templates are yours to edit, so your contract reference and remittance wording ride along every time. Clients pay by bank transfer, where the cost to the payer is the processor's cost capped at $5.00 plus a $2.00 RentMerchant fee that Pro waives, and you receive the full invoice amount. When AP still mails a check, record it against the invoice so the ledger matches the bank.
A face is just a unit with a rate
Add each bulletin, panel, mural, or digital slot as its own unit under the location it sits on, and give it its own rate. A location can carry as many faces as it has, because there is no limit on units. Rent roll shows what each face is earning, and the delinquency report shows who is behind, face by face rather than lumped together.
Renewals before the face goes dark
Renewal reminders land before a term ends, so the conversation starts while the campaign is still up, and the new term can be signed electronically instead of couriered around. Track ground rent, power, permits, and production as categorized expenses against the structure, so you can see what a face actually nets between campaigns.
Common spaces
Highway bulletins and poster panels, digital displays and rotating slots, wall murals and wallscapes, transit shelters and bus panels, mall and venue panels, and ground leases under someone else's structure.
