Question

How do I pay bills already entered in QB with a credit card

I have multiple bills entered and some of them get paid with checks and some of them get paid with credit cards.  I would like to select existing bills to be paid with a credit card.  Right now, I have to re-enter them as a credit card charge and delete the existing bills.  Seems like a waste of time to me.  Thanks!

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Community page, @ascades.

 

Paying bills is as simple as creating bills in QuickBooks Desktop. If the bills are paid by credit card, then you can select Credit Card as payment method under the Pay Bills window.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click on Pay Bills under Vendors.
  2. Choose the bills you want to pay under the Pay Bills window.
  3. Pick Credit Card under Method.
  4. Select the credit card account under the Account section.
  5. Hit Pay Selected Bills.
  6. Tap Done.

 

Here are the articles you can read more about the bills feature in QuickBooks Desktop.

Let me know if there's anything you need assistance with. I'm always here to help. Have a good day!

I DON'T have the Credit Card option - how simple that would be.  

I have long standing credit cards.  Under the Pay By Account, they do not come up in the drop down window.  I tried to set up a credit card act thinking I could merge it with an existing one but I get a warning Notice saying this account is the wrong type for this field.  Please enter a different account of the appropriate type fore this field.
