Keep in mind, your vendor may need 5 business days or more to accept your ACH payment. If you need to pay a quick payment, you should signup for a free Melio account as the backup. You can use the Fast ACH payment.

Hello, @meredith-brickho.

I'd be happy to help you set up an efficient bill payment.

To get started, let's check if you have subscribed to bill pay. That way, we can ensure that you have all the necessary tools to manage your bills efficiently.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to Get paid & pay, then Bills.
3. Select the Unpaid tab.
4. Create a new bill, then select Schedule payment. Don't worry; you don't need to schedule any payments for the next steps.
5. Take note of what you see in the footer of the Schedule payment screen. If you see Bill Pay powered by Bill.com, then you have Bill Pay powered by Bill.com.

If you have already subscribed, you can simply submit your scheduled payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Check out the following instructions below to get this done:

1. Log in to your QBO account.
2. Click Get paid & pay, then choose Bills.
3. Create a new bill or select an existing unpaid one. Select Schedule Payment or Save and Schedule Payment.If you make a new bill, you'll have the option to schedule the bill right away by clicking Save and Schedule Payment and For unpaid bills, schedule directly from Expenses, Vendors, or Bills.     
4. Choose which bank account you want to use as your funding source and withdraw funds from. Banks you've already connected to your account will appear as options, but you can also choose Add a bank account. The total amount of the bill is displayed by default. You can select Edit if you want to schedule a partial payment.
5. In the Payment account dropdown, select the corresponding account or pick + Add new to create a new account to track your bill payment information.
6. Choose which payment method your payee prefers and complete the required fields.
7. Select the date when you want the funds to be withdrawn from your bank account up to 90 days in advance.
8. Review the payment instructions, then select Schedule payment if everything looks correct.
