Property Fees Configuration

Rent Fetch provides flexible property fees management through two main configuration levels:

1. Global Property Fees Settings

• Location: WordPress Admin > Rent Fetch > Settings > Properties > Property fees
• Purpose: Set default fees that apply to all properties when property-specific fees aren’t needed/available.
• Use Case: single property websites, or websites with multiple properties that all share the same fees.
• Options:
  • CSV Upload/Link: Upload a CSV file or provide a URL to a CSV file containing fee data
  • Embed Code: Paste custom HTML/embed code (e.g., PDFs from Canva, iframes) for fees display

2. Property-Specific Fees

• Location: Properties > Individual Property ‘Edit’ Screen > Property Fees metabox
• Purpose: Override global fees with property-specific fee information.
• Use Case: websites with multiple properties that have different fees for each property.
• Options:
  • CSV Upload/Link: Upload or link to a property-specific CSV file
  • Embed Code: Custom embed code unique to this property

Priority System

When displaying fees, Rent Fetch follows this priority order:

1. Property-specific fees (if available)
2. Global fallback fees (if property-specific fees aren’t set)

CSV Data Format

Fees data should be provided in CSV format with these columns:

• description: Fee description (e.g., “Application Fee”)
• price: Fee amount (e.g., “$50”)
• frequency: How often the fee applies (e.g., “One-time”, “Monthly”)
• notes: Additional notes about the fee
• category: Fee category for grouping (optional)

Example CSV content:

description,price,frequency,notes,category
Application Fee,$50,One-time,Non-refundable,Application Fees
Pet Deposit,$300,One-time,Refundable,Pet Fees
Pet Rent,$25,Monthly,Per pet,Pet Fees

Display Features

• Automatic Formatting: CSV data is automatically converted into responsive HTML tables
• Category Grouping: Fees are grouped by category when categories are specified
• Responsive Design: Tables adapt to different screen sizes
• Flexible Display: Can show as structured tables or custom embed content

Administrative Features

• Sample CSV Download: Access sample CSV files to understand the required format
• Current Data Export: Download existing fee data for backup or editing
• File Upload: Direct CSV upload through the WordPress admin interface
• URL Linking: Link to externally hosted CSV files that are automatically fetched

Usage Context

Property fees are displayed in relevant locations throughout the website:

• On individual floorplan/property pages
• In property search results
• On property archive pages

This configuration system allows property managers to clearly communicate all associated costs to potential tenants while providing the flexibility to set fees at both individual property and global levels.## Display Features
