Your HOA's public website
We auto-generate a public page at <your-hoa>.hoasite.org so Stripe accepts your HOA as a business.
Your HOA's public website
Stripe — the payment processor Fourplex uses for dues — requires every business to have a public URL. Most HOAs don't have one, so Fourplex auto-generates a simple, single-page website for your community at <your-hoa>.hoasite.org. You don't have to build, host, or maintain anything.
How to find your URL
- Open Dues → Settings.
- Look at the Business website step in the Stripe setup form.
- The third option, "Use the site we generated for you", is selected by default and shows your URL — for example,
clover-densmore.hoasite.org. Click the URL to preview the page in a new tab.
What's on the page
We use information you've already entered. The page covers everything Stripe requires:
- Your HOA's name and a short description of your community (city, state, unit count).
- A statement that you collect HOA dues, special assessments, one-time payments, and fines.
- Your contact email (the same address members use to email your board).
- A standard refund / cancellation policy explaining that dues are non-refundable per governing documents.
- A short privacy statement and payment-security disclosure.
What's NOT on the page
To protect board members and residents, the auto-generated page does not show:
- Street addresses (only city + state).
- Individual unit numbers or owner names.
- Member directories, documents, or meeting minutes.
- Phone numbers.
- A member portal login link (members access the portal at the main Fourplex app).
Is it searchable?
No. The page tells search engines and AI crawlers to skip it (via robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag header, and a <meta robots> tag). It exists for Stripe verification — not for marketing or discoverability.
What if I want to use my own website instead?
In Dues → Settings, choose either:
- I have a website — paste your URL.
- I have a social media page — paste a Facebook group, Nextdoor, or similar URL. Stripe accepts these.
The auto-generated page will keep existing (it costs nothing to keep) but Stripe will use whichever URL you provide.
Coming later
We plan to let boards customize the auto-generated page with a logo and a custom description. For now, the page is fully automatic.
