In plain English

RentPey is a WhatsApp bot built for landlords in India to automate the monthly rent collection process. Managing rent manually means remembering to message each tenant, chasing up late payments, checking payment confirmations, and sending receipts. This project tries to handle most of that through WhatsApp, which is already the communication channel most landlords and tenants in India already use. The bot sends automatic monthly reminders to tenants so the landlord does not have to do it personally. When a tenant pays, they share a screenshot of the payment through the same WhatsApp chat. The bot runs a verification flow where the landlord reviews the screenshot and confirms the payment. Once confirmed, the bot generates and sends a receipt automatically. If a tenant has not paid by a certain point, the system sends late-payment follow-up messages. The tech stack is Node.js with Express for the server logic, MongoDB Atlas for storing tenant and payment records, and the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API for all the messaging. The project is deployed on Render.com. The README is brief and notes the project is still under active development, so features may change. There is no detail in the README about pricing, onboarding steps, or how landlords configure their tenant list.
