Inputting independent contractors pay and usage fees.

I am a opening a mini call center using the Arise platform. Each contractor has to pay service fees to utilize the platform. I have payroll and was looking to offer direct deposit. When entering payroll in quickbooks online, I notice that there is not a way for me to add a line item for contractor fees. How do I input this? Should I submit the direct deposit and then keep track of full transaction details under expenses --> vendor?

    I'm little confused, contractors typically do not work for you, or do they?
    If not why would you even think payroll?

    They pay you a fee, that is your income.

    When a person contracts with a contractor, are you the middle man? Collecting the full amount of the contract and then paying the contractor?

    Yes. Essentially I am the middle man. Arise only does business with incorporated businesses. So if a customer service professional desires to operate on the platform, they would need to sign up under a company.
