How do I issue a paycheck using the app?

Hello there, @uptosnuffmutt-gm.

Thank you for coming to the QuickBooks Community! I'd be glad to help you issue a paycheck in QuickBooks.

Creating paychecks using QuickBooks mobile app is unavailable. However, you can process an expense or bill pay in the mobile app. This way, you can pay your contractor with a bank transfer (ACH) or debit for free.

Here's how:
 

1. Sign in to your account on the QuickBooks Online mobile app.
2. Choose Menu ☰. Then tap Bill pay.
3. Hit the Settings ⚙ icon.
4. In the Payment methods tab, tap Add this method for either the Bank account, Credit card, or Debit card option.
   • Bank account (free): There are two ways to connect your bank account.
     • Choose either Connect instantly to sign into your bank with your login credentials, or Verify with deposits to connect your bank account via micro-deposits (takes 1-2 days). Then follow the prompts to connect to your bank.
   • Credit card (has transaction fee):
     • Follow the prompts to connect to your credit card.
   • Debit card (free):
     • Follow the prompts to connect to your debit card.
5. Once you’ve connected your bank or your card, click on the Payment account in QuickBooks dropdown ▼ and tap the matching QuickBooks account you want to sync with the payment activity. If you don’t see your account, click + Add this as a new payment account in QuickBooks.
