This is truly ridiculous. Pay one bill at a time? Not only are you now making us pay for a service that used to be free, the service you are now offering is crap. No one wants to pay one bill at a time. Good luck getting people to pay for this.

The feature is not available in the newly app, Use the free app as I mentioned earlier to integrate with QBO.

When will this feature be available?  Paying multiple bills via one ACH payment is a basic function, so I hate to even call it a feature.

@mestrauss 

Use the free app as I mentioned earlier to pay multiple bills up to 20 for the same vendor. Make sure to click the Get $100 cashback button to sign up.

Hello there, mestrauss.

I have the information you need about paying bills with QuickBooks Bill Pay.

We've recognized the relevance of paying multiple bills for one vendor to save more time and improve business productivity. Hence, QuickBooks Bill Pay users can now schedule several bills through bank transfer or check in a single step.

Here's how:

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online company.
2. Choose Expenses, then Bills.
3. Pick the Unpaid tab to locate your unpaid bills.
4. Check the boxes on the left of each bill you want to pay.
5. Select Schedule payments.
6. Update delivery details/withdrawal date by clicking on Manage for each payment. Please note that we will utilize the existing data of the vendor. Updating it in a single bill will change the details for all other bill payments for the same vendor.
7. Apply a withdrawal date to all payments in a batch through apply to all.
8. Select continue, then Schedule payments once everything is ready.

I'll add this material for more information about the process above: Learn about QuickBooks Bill Pay.

On the other hand, consider scanning this article for guidance on customizing a report if you want to track all vendor payments: Run a report with vendor totals.

Please visit the Community forum if you have additional questions about paying multiple bills or other related concerns in QuickBooks Online. We'll be around to help.

Kimberly, I want to be very clear - this allows multiple bills to be paid to one vendor with a single ACH transfer?  To date, I have been told by multiple QuickBooks employees that an ACH pays only one bill at a time.  We have at least one vendor to whom who we pay many bills on one check and we wold like to pay via ACH - but having a great many ACH transfers is unacceptable.

I appreciate you joining the thread, mestrauss.

Let me share information to clear things out for you about multiple bills to be paid through ACH in QuickBooks.

Yes, you're right. It also allows multiple bills to be paid to one vendor with a single ACH transfer. As my colleague mentioned, we recognized the relevance of paying multiple bills for one vendor to save more time and improve business productivity. With that, you can now pay multiple bills through ACH transfers using Bill pay.

However, if the system still won't allow you to pay multiple bills through ACH transfers, I suggest contacting our Support Team so they can check further about this matter.

Here's how:

1. From your company file, go to Help menu.
2. Choose the Search tab and then click on Contact Us.
3. Please enter a brief description of your concern, then hit Let's Talk.
4. Select Callback from the option.
5. Enter your contact information and click Get a call.

For further information on the schedule, see this article: QuickBooks Online Support.

This isn't working. To be perfectly clear by example:  I want to pay one vendor for (let's say) ten individual bills; I want to select these in one batch, for the same withdrawal date, and I want the vendor to get one ACH transfer for the total value of those ten bills; and I want to pay one ACH fee. 

Thanks for getting back, mestrauss.

I'll ensure to offer additional assistance wherein you can pay one vendor with multiple bills. 

In QuickBooks Online, you can pay multiple bills at once. However, there is a fee associated with each bill. Since you want to pay all of your bills with a single ACH fee, you may consider looking for a third-party application that has the functionality to integrate with QuickBooks.

Let me guide you through the steps.

1. Navigate the Expenses menu.
2. Choose the Bills tab.
3. Select the bills you want to pay.
4. Then, click Schedule payments.

I've attached screenshot for your visual reference:

Furthermore, to effectively monitor all the payments made to your vendors within a specific date range, I suggest reading the following resources: Run a report with vendor totals.

QB Billpay doesn't yet offer such feature. You can use the free app I mentioned to pay multiple bills in one batch and pay it with ACH for free.

Scheduling multiple payments to a single vendor results in multiple ACH payments to that vendor - one ACH for each bill to be paid - NOT one payment totaling the sum of individual bills paid to that vendor.

Thank you, but this app has so many poor reviews and reports of difficulties that I am unwilling to use it.

Are you saying if I have 50 invoices I'm paying for one Vendor, it will print 50 checks, and I'm charged the 1.50 per check processing fee to have QBO mail them?

You can explore Melio as a free option to combine multiple bill payments (> 20) to the same vendor into a single payment.. You can also void the check easily on dashboard anytime if required

Hello there, Malinda. Let me provide clarification regarding your query about the $1.50 processing fee.

As previously mentioned by my colleague, you can pay multiple bills at once in QuickBooks Online. The number of free ACH payments provided per month depends on the subscription plan you have chosen. If you exceed the maximum number of transactions allowed, there will be an additional $0.50 and a check payment fee of $1.50 per transaction.

You can visit our QuickBooks Bill Pay Price and Plans for more detailed information. 

On the other hand, combining multiple bills into a single payment to a vendor using Bill Pay is currently unavailable. Alternatively, you can consider exploring third-party apps that offer this or follow 4Gal's suggestion.

You can directly visit our QuickBooks App Store or go through the Apps menu in your product.

Let me assist you with how to do it:

1. Click Apps from the left panel, then go to the Find Apps tab.
2. From the search bar, type in the keyword to look for an app.
3. Once done, you can choose an app from the lists that suits your business needs.

ShyMae, I have been told several times that I cannot pay multiple bills to a single vendor on a single ACH transfer (and which results in a single ACH fee).  For example, I have one vendor to whom I currently write checks (not via BillPay) and I might pay 20 or more individual bills on one or more checks.  I would like to pay them by ACH, where I can pay a number of individual bills on one transfer.  Again, I have been told this is not possible at this time.  Is this wrong does this functionality exist?  If so, I would very much like to speak to someone about this.  A second issue would be the maximum amount which can be paid; that vendor, for example, gets one or two checks per week from me often exceeding $100,000.  Is that OK? 

I understand the importance of paying multiple bills to a single vendor using a single ACH transfer, mestra. 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can select multiple bills to be paid at once. However, the payments generated from these transactions follow the per-a-bill basis. We recognize that this feature would benefit your business by increasing efficiency and convenience. In line with this, I recommend submitting a feature recommendation directly to our Product Development Team.
