ACH payments to vendors

You can signup for a separate Melio account as a workaround but you can't sync it with QB Desktop. To combine payments to the same vendor, you will find the option to select. Each time you want to pay multiple bills to the same vendor in a single payment, you’ll need to toggle on Combine into one.

You can also help your vendor to reconcile combined payments. If you’re sending your vendor one payment for several bills, it's important they get an invoice breakdown for easy reconciliation. You can help by making sure to add your vendor’s email and add a memo when scheduling the payment. A short note for your vendor which will show up on their confirmation email, either the check itself or their ACH statement. You should keep your memo short as only a certain number of characters will show up in a check or statement. The email Melio send your vendor includes a breakdown of all bills that have been paid.

I went to link you supplied for Melio and it looks like they are saying they do sync with QB.? Do you use Melio? What pitfalls will I run into? We are just starting to try and pay vendors with ACH payments. We are a medium to large company with large check runs. Any and all help is appreciated as we figure out how to make this change /

A standalone Melio account only sync with QBO US version, not QBD as I mentioned earlier.

It's great that you're knowledgeable of how this works in QuickBooks Desktop, @mdportable. 

I also understand that staying on top of your bills is very important when running a business. Nevertheless, we're unable to provide personal recommendations about a third-party program that you can use to pay 50 or more vendor bills using only one check.

Don't worry, I can point you in the right direction to where you can browse for any available applications that you can integrate with QBDT and get your desired feature. Simply follow the steps below:

1. Visit our App Marketplace, then search for any apps available using a keyword like "pay bills" or "bill pay".

2. Once you locate an application you want, click on View profile to find out more details about it.

3. If you've decided, go to the Editions & Pricing tab. From there, you can also select Learn More to be directed to a third-party website.

If you wish to check out other software, you can also look for an alternative program that's outside QuickBooks. It would also be beneficial to communicate with the third-party service provider to ensure that their application is compatible with integration with QBDT.
