Many of the OTAs and lead gen sites, like Furnished Finder, are pushing credit card payments. 99.9% of the time I get a message from FF saying 'your tenant would prefer to pay by credit card so activate Stripe now!' 

I guess I'd like an option like that though instead of "Reject".Right now, they're just "Pending" in limbo.I'd be curious to hear others processes for handling this in PM software, even if you don't use RentRedi.I've tried to explain the situation to RentRedi support many times and they're making me want to pull out what hair I still have.Thanks in advance,Brandon
