How do we Pay Bills in QuickBooks Online?

 Paying with bill payments

Clients are provided with the option to either use their bank account or establish a credit card in QuickBooks Online to make payments towards their bills. This process of payment leads to a reduction in accounts payable as well as the equilibrium of the bank or credit card account. In addition to these features, QuickBooks Online presents any bills that have been overdue in the Expenses center, thereby enabling clients to keep track of their outstanding payments. Clients can initiate payments directly from the Action column in the Expenses center or the Vendor List through the quick link, making the payment process even more convenient. Overall, the availability of these features within QuickBooks Online ensures that clients can easily manage their payments and bills, thereby promoting an efficient financial management system.

Paying a bill

Let’s see how to pay a bill that's overdue.

1. Go to the Expense center
2. Select the Vendors tab
   
   Note that the Vendors tab has a money bar that groups payments according to their status:
   - Unbilled purchase orders are blue
   - The orange section shows overdue payments
   - The gray section is for open bills
   - The green section is for settled payments from the last 30 days
3. Select the orange section that represents Overdue payments
   
   
   
4. In the line of the bill to pay, select Make payment from the Action column 
   
   
   
   
   
   The Bill Payment screen then shows the vendor, with the amount already filled in.
5. Select the bank or credit account to make the payment from
   
   Note that clients can pay the bill in full in a single payment or make partial payments. To make a partial payment, just change the payment amount.
   
   To print the check, select Print check at the bottom of the screen. This automatically saves the payment.
6. To save without printing the check, select Save and close

That's it.
