Paying Bills Online

Whether you use the bill paying service that your financial institution offers or you subscribe to QuickBooks Bill Pay service, you don't have to use any special dialog boxes to make electronic payments. Here's how you turn the three ways you make payments into electronic transactions:

  • Write Checks. In the Write Check dialog box (page 293), turn on the Online Payment checkbox.

  • Account register window. If you "write" checks by entering a transaction in your checking account register window (page 295), you can turn a transaction into an online payment by right-clicking it and then choosing Edit Check. When the Write Checks dialog box opens, turn on the Online Payment checkbox and save the transaction.

When you set up a payment as an online transaction, QuickBooks adds the payments to your list of items to send. When you open the Online Banking Center window, you'll see these online bill payments in the Items to Send box.
