Learn how to connect Payscore with AppFolio using the Payscore browser extension so you can send verification requests and access reports directly within your existing AppFolio workflow.


Overview

The Payscore + AppFolio integration allows you to:

  • Send verification requests directly from AppFolio

  • Automatically populate applicant information

  • Access completed reports without leaving AppFolio

  • Keep your leasing workflow unchanged

This integration works with both rental applications and guest cards in AppFolio.


Before you begin

Make sure you have:

  • An active Payscore account

  • Access to your AppFolio account

  • Permission to install browser extensions


Step 1: Install the Payscore Browser Extension

To enable the AppFolio integration, you must install the Payscore browser extension.

Once installed, you will see the Payscore icon in your browser toolbar.


Step 2: Log in to the Extension

  1. Click the Payscore icon in your browser toolbar

  2. Enter your Payscore login credentials

  3. Sign in to activate the integration

After logging in, the extension will automatically connect Payscore to your AppFolio environment.


Step 3: Use Payscore Within AppFolio

Once the extension is active, embedded Payscore links and actions will appear directly inside AppFolio.

You will be able to:

  • Send income or verification requests from applicant records

  • Launch screenings without re-entering applicant details

  • Keep property and unit information in sync


How the integration works

Automatic data population

When you initiate a verification request from AppFolio, applicant details (such as name, email, and property information) are automatically populated into the Payscore side panel. This reduces manual entry and speeds up the process.

Status tracking

You can monitor the status of each verification directly within AppFolio while the process is in progress.

Completed reports

When an applicant completes their verification:

  • You will receive an email notification

  • The email will include a secure link to the completed report

  • Reports can be accessed quickly without changing your workflow


Best practices

  • Ensure applicant contact details (email and phone) are accurate in AppFolio

  • Keep your properties and units properly configured for seamless syncing

  • Use the browser extension in conjunction with AppFolio for the best experience
