Pay vendor bill with credit card

My main goal is to help you pay the bill on time, Dragica.

You may encounter such an issue if the Payment method selected is incorrect. Let's choose the Credit card option before recording the payment. Beforehand, double-check the account and ensure it is set up correctly. For more info, please see this article: Add, Use, and Pay Credit Card Accounts.

Then, I've added the detailed steps below to pay the transaction:

1. Go to the Vendors menu and then select Pay Bills.
   
   
2. Select the bill you'd like to pay.
3. Under Method, select Credit card.
4. Select the credit card account you've created.
5. Once done, click Pay Selected Bills.
   
   

If the issue persists, I recommend using the Rebuild Data utility. The tool automatically fixes minor company file data issues. Before proceeding, update QuickBooks so that you'll have the latest fixes. 

Here's how to use the tool:

1. Go to the File menu and then select Utilities. 
2. Select Rebuild Data, then click OK.
   
   
3. On the QuickBooks Information window, select OK. Follow the onscreen steps to save a backup.
   
   
4. Let the tool repair your file. It may take some time. 
5. When the tool finishes, select OK.
6. Go to the File menu. Then, hover over Utilities and select Verify Data.
   
   
7. Let the tool check your file for data issues.

If QuickBooks doesn't find any problems, select OK. Then, pay the bill. Otherwise, click Rebuild Now and use the File Doctor to fix your company file. 

Lastly, paying bills is part of your usual accounts payable workflow. I suggest browsing this article to view the complete list: Record Expense Transactions.

In addition, you can run and customize vendor reports in QuickBooks Desktop. Doing so helps you track the money paid and what you owe.

Under Method, there is no option to select Credit card, only  Bank accounts

I'll chime in and share my thoughts that could help you get through this.

First, update your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release to keep your software up-to-date. Then, ensure you have set up the correct payment method for Credit Card payment. You can follow these steps:

1. Select Customer & Vendor Profile Lists from the Lists ▼ menu, and then Payment Method List.
2. From the Payment Method ▼ dropdown menu, click New.
3. Enter the Payment Method and Payment Type.
4. Important: The Payment Method should match the Payment Type.
5. Select OK. Select Next to add another Payment Method.

If the issue persists, it could be this issue is because of data damage on your company file. I recommend utilizing the QuickBooks Tool Hub. This tool troubleshoots network issues, company file damage, and performance issues, among other things. First, you can launch the Quick Fix My Program tool from the Tool Hub to terminate all processes running in the background. Back up your company file before doing the following steps in utilizing the QuickBooks Tool Hub.

Follow these steps to download and install the Tool Hub:

1. Download the latest QuickBooks Tool Hub.
2. Open the downloaded file and install it.
3. Once done, open the QuickBooks Tool Hub and select Program Problems.
4. Select Quick Fix My Program.
5. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

My QB is up to date with latest version. Adding a payment method is for receiving payments from my customers. I am looking to pay my vendor with a credit card. When I go to pay bills and click on account, only accounts showing are bank accounts. I have an option to add an account but I have to set up a new credit card, don't see an option to use credit card I already have set up.
