How the money moves
Credit or debit card
Stripe's rate for running the card. Stripe charges it to the paying community on a line of its own, and Stripe keeps it.
Bank transfer (ACH)
Stripe charges the paying community its ACH price on a line of its own.
Card and bank payment inside VendoRFP switches on when the processor is connected, and the rates above are what each way to pay costs once it does. Today your invoice goes out in your own name, and the community pays you on the payment details printed on it.
You send your own invoice, under your own name and number, on the same terms as every other company here. The community reads it on one screen with every other invoice it gets, and pays you on the payment details printed on it. Record the payment on your invoices page and the invoice closes.
An example invoice. Prices shown are examples.
Approval, company by company
Joining is free. Approval is the part you pay for.
You pay approval once per management company, however many communities that company runs. It is the one charge that grows with you.
Getting approved with a management company
$49 a year, per management company. A person reads your file, and the fee is for that reading — you pay it whether they approve you or turn you down. A complete file is answered in 2 business days, and you get 30 days to fix anything it turns up.
Staying current
Free, for as long as you are listed. Three documents before you can propose: general liability, workers’ compensation, and the credential your trade requires. Your business registration and W-9 are verified on the same file. The insurance and the credential are what let you propose.
None of these fees is charged per proposal. What answering one commits you to — how long your price stands, and what happens if you withdraw — is the proposal terms.
How the approval fee scales
$49 × each management company × every year
One approval covers every community a management company manages, so the fee follows companies rather than communities. Add another and it repeats at the same price.
| 1 management company | $49/yr each |
|---|---|
| 3 management companies | $49/yr each$147 in total |
| 10 management companies | $49/yr each$490 in total |
The work and the record
You do the work, and VendoRFP keeps the record of it.

Moving the money
See who charges for a card, a bank transfer and an early payout
Stripe charges for running a card, and Stripe keeps it. A bank transfer arrives in full. Taking your money early is optional, and that fee is ours.
- 2.9% + $0.30
Credit or debit card
Stripe’s price for running the card. Stripe charges it to the paying community as its own line on the invoice, grossed up so the line also covers Stripe’s cut of itself, and Stripe keeps it. The line is capped at 3% of the amount due, and VendoRFP absorbs whatever Stripe charges above the cap.
- Free
Bank transfer (ACH)
Stripe charges the paying community its ACH price on a line of its own.
- $35 + 3%
Quick payout, if you take it early
Optional. Charged once, on the money you take early, and never on the normal schedule.
Card and bank payment inside VendoRFP switches on when the processor is connected, and the rates above are what each way to pay costs once it does. Today your invoice goes out in your own name, and the community pays you on the payment details printed on it.
