Get paid through QuickBooks Bill Pay
Learn how to set up a free QuickBooks account to get paid through QuickBooks Bill Pay after a customer invites you to connect.
When one of your customers pays bills with QuickBooks Bill Pay, they can invite you to get paid directly through it. When you accept, you set up a free QuickBooks account, connect your bank, and start receiving payments — without sharing your bank details with anyone.
Setup takes just a few minutes. Here's what to do after you get the invite. Want to learn more first? See Understand how the QuickBooks Business Network works.
Why get paid through QuickBooks Bill Pay?
Stay in control of your bank information. Enter your bank details directly into the secure QuickBooks portal. Your customers never see your account information, and you can update your bank details anytime.
Get paid faster. Receive ACH payments directly to your bank account in 2–5 business days, instead of waiting 7–10 days for a mailed check.
Track your payments. Once a payment is scheduled, you get a notification and can follow its status — no need to check in with your customer.
Set up once, free. Your account is free to open. After setup, other QuickBooks customers can pay you through QuickBooks Bill Pay too — no extra setup needed.
