QuickBooks Online makes it easy to pay your bills and record those payments. You can record payments made by check, credit card, or cash.

Pay your bills

Here’s how you can pay your bills in QuickBooks Online.

  1. From your Dashboard, go to Expenses & Pay Bills.

  2. Select Pay bills.

  3. Select the account you want to pay the bill(s) from the Payment account ▼ dropdown menu.
    Tip: If you select a checking or savings account, you can enter the Starting check no.

  4. Select the Payment date.

  5. Select the bill(s) you want to pay.

  6. Select Save.

Check payment status

We can use the Audit log in case you need to see exactly when and why some of your payments were voided. Here's how:

  1. Go to Settings and select Audit log.

  2. Select the User, Date Changed, or Events ▼ dropdown to narrow the results.

  3. Check the transaction and view the reason it was voided from the History column.
