Billing

Locari charges per rental case — you choose a duration and tier, pay once, and Locari handles the AI-assisted rental process for that case. All payment processing runs through the Stripe billing portal.

Common Tasks

• Extend or reactivate a subscription
• Download invoices
• Change payment method
• Store company details for invoices

How to

First Purchase When Creating a Case

You make the first purchase for a rental case not in the Billing tab, but in the rental-case wizard:

1. Create the rental case and proceed to the Tier & Duration step.
2. Choose a duration: 2 weeks, 1 month, or 3 months.
3. Choose a tier: Basic or Plus (both include the same core features; the only difference is portal access — see pricing overview).
4. Enter payment details in Stripe Checkout and confirm.

The rental case is active immediately.

Example: Landlord Stefan creates a rental case for the apartment Musterstrasse 5 and selects Basic – 1 month for 69 € in the wizard. Locari immediately takes over applicant communication.

Pricing overview:

Basic includes export to Kleinanzeigen, Plus additionally to ImmoScout24.

Extend or Reactivate

1. Open Settings > Billing tab.
2. Find the desired rental case in the Rental Cases section.
3. Click Extend (or Reactivate if the duration has expired).
4. Choose a duration and tier if needed, then confirm in Stripe Checkout.

Invoices and Payment Method

1. Open Settings > Billing tab.
2. Click Visit billing portal — you are redirected to the Stripe portal.
3. There you can:
   • download all invoices as PDF,
   • change payment method (credit card, SEPA direct debit),
   • update billing address.
4. After completing, you are automatically returned to Locari.

Company Details

To ensure your invoices contain correct company details:
