Paying an international vendor in US$

We have a  requirment to pay an international vendor in US$ (that country accepts US$). Prevoulsy, I was able to do it with Melio (in QB). Now with QB bill payment, I am not able to do so (both paper check and bank transfer). QB bill payment only allows bill payments for US. Can someone throw some light on this? Thanks.

Hi there, @ram_nagarajan.

 

I'd like to shed some light on how you can pay your international vendor with QuickBooks.

 

Currently, QuickBooks Bill Pay does not offer the option to pay international vendors. However, you can consider using a third-party app to facilitate this process. You may want to explore the QuickBooks Apps Store for available options.

 

For more information on managing your bills and vendors with QuickBooks, feel free to browse this article: Enter and manage bills and bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

You could also run reports to know how much you're paying your vendors. You can refer to this article for your guidance: Run a report with vendor totals.

 

If you need anything else QuickBooks-related, please feel free to leave a reply. I'll be around to lend a hand. Keep safe.

Thank you for providing additional information, Ram. Allow me to chime in on this thread and share some information about how Melio works in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

If you connect Melio to QBO all payments, invoices, and vendors’ details will be automatically synced between the two. Since QBO is only the receiver of data from Melio, I recommend reaching out to their support to get further details on how they transfer info.

 

Additionally, you can refer to this article on managing your vendors: How to view and edit vendor transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Let me know if you have other questions about Melio's integrations to QBO. I'll be here to provide you with the details you need. Have a great day!

@ram_nagarajan 

You can signup for a free Melio account to integrate with QBO and pay your international vendors/contractors in USD. The flat fee is $20 per transaction.

You can also get $100 to pay the first bill.

Hi,

I used Melio to make the payment using QB credentials. How will it update QB? Will it pass back a journal? Thanks,

QuickBooks Online Payments currently works for transactions within the United States (US), @Denver4. I understand your need to process international payments, and I would like to share an option with you.

 

While Bill Pay only supports payments in US Dollars within the US, I recommend exploring third-party applications that specifically cater to international payments. These apps offer multi-currency support and streamlined payment processes to ensure a smooth and efficient transaction experience. Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to Apps, then Find apps.
  2. Enter the app's name in the search bar or explore various apps by selecting the Browse category drop-down menu.
  3. Select an app and click Get app now to integrate.

 

Moreover, I can see the importance of having the ability to pay international vendors. I encourage you to share your thoughts with our Product Development team for consideration in future updates. Here's how:

 

  1. Select the Gear icon, then choose Feedback.
  2. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
  3. Select Next to submit.

 

You can track your feature requests on the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.

 

Additionally, you can find helpful guidance in this article about how to enter a prior balance for a customer who owes you money or a vendor you need to pay: Manage outstanding balances for customers and vendors in QuickBooks Online.

 

Furthermore, QuickBooks enables you to run reports for guidance on reviewing transactions so you can track your overall business finances. 

 

I'm only a few clicks away if you have further questions about handling international transactions in QuickBooks. I'll be here to help. Keep safe.

Paying an international vendor in US$

Just an FYI that Melio sent out an email today saying that they will stop processing international payments on February 27, 2025. They're changing to a new vendor, and have no estimate of when their international payment capability will be restored. Does anyone have another vendor they use?
