You're in the right place, lisatbookkeeping. I can help you send electronic payments to vendors in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

 

QBO works together with Online Bill Pay to let you:

 

  • Pay bills electronically within QuickBooks Online.
  • Pay vendor bills directly from within QuickBooks Online with ACH (bank transfer) or a paper check.
  • Record payment transactions accurately and automatically in QuickBooks Online

 

To get started, you need to sign up for Online Bill Pay by following these steps.

 

  1. Open QuickBooks, then go to the Apps menu.
  2. In the search field, search Bill Pay.
  3. Choose Bill Pay for the QuickBooks Online app card.
  4. In the app card, hit Learn more.
  5. Once on the Learn More page for Online Bill Pay, select Get Started.
  6. Enter your company information, then Next.
  7. Now, follow the prompts to connect your bank account, then hit Next.
  8. Enter your personal information, then Next.
  9. Lastly, answer a few identities check questions. If you have issues with this process or are declined during the identity check process, contact Intuit's Care Support.

 

You may also sign up using the direct link. Here are the instructions: Learn about QuickBooks Bill Pay.

 

Although there is no monthly subscription fee for this service, you will be charged a transaction fee for each payment you process.

Is the Online Bill Payment still valid?  I cannot find the Bill Pay for QuickBooks Online app.
