Getting Started / Account Setup
Account Setup
Configure your RentBridge account, company profile, and subscription.
Create Your Account
- Go to rentbridge.ai/signup
- Enter your company name, full name, email address, and a strong password
- Click "Create Account"
Signing up creates your organization and makes you its owner — the highest-permission role. You're logged in immediately and land on your dashboard.
Have a beta invite code instead? Use the guided onboarding at rentbridge.ai/onboard — it sets up your company, first location, and first equipment in four steps.
Your Organization
Your company details are captured at signup and used across the platform:
- Company Name: appears on your account and reports
- Locations: add your yards and depots on the Locations page — each holds an address, phone, and the equipment stationed there
Subscription & Billing
RentBridge subscriptions are billed through Stripe:
- Pick a plan (see Plans & Pricing) — checkout is a secure Stripe payment page
- Manage your subscription anytime through the Stripe Billing Portal (update card, change plan, view invoices), available from your account
- Your plan tier also sets your marketplace commission rate — higher tiers keep more of every rental (see Payouts & Deposits)
Owner payouts from rentals are separate from your subscription — they settle same-day via Branch instant payout.
Security
- Authentication: email + password, with JWT session tokens that expire automatically
- Roles: owner, admin, and member roles control access — the platform dashboard, for example, is restricted to owners and admins (see Team Invites & Roles)
- Rate limiting: login attempts are rate-limited to block brute-force attacks
- Encryption: all traffic is TLS; data is encrypted at rest (see Data Handling)
Coming soon: self-service password reset, two-factor authentication, and Google single sign-on. Until then, if you're locked out, email support@rentbridge.ai and we'll restore access.
For Developers
The full REST API is available at api.rentbridge.ai using the same JWT authentication as the app — log in via POST /api/v1/auth/login and use the returned bearer token. See API Overview.
Troubleshooting
Can't log in?
- Check that you're using the email address you signed up with (case-insensitive)
- Too many attempts in a short window will be rate-limited — wait a minute and retry
- Still locked out? Email support@rentbridge.ai
Payment or subscription issue?
- Open the Stripe Billing Portal from your account to update your card or plan
- Contact support via the Help icon if a charge looks wrong
Still stuck? Contact support via the Help icon in your dashboard or email support@rentbridge.ai.
