It depends on the online-payment app you use. If you're using Bill Pay for QuickBooks Online, you can pay 35 bills per instance. To do this, just click on the +New button, choose Pay Bills Online, and select the checkboxes of the bills you want to pay. However, if you're using other apps, I would suggest contacting their support to know your options.
On the other hand, you can also connect your bank account to QuickBooks to download your transactions. This way, you can easily match your transactions to reconcile your account faster.
Please don't hesitate to go back to this thread if you have other questions about paying bills.
Jess,
Thanks for the advice. I did try the Pay Bills Online and checked three bills, but the system insisted on writing three checks. Is this expected behavior, or is it supposed to create one check for the total?

Hello there, @gstuart.
I'm glad to know that you did try the Pay Bills Online. Using Online Bill Pay makes it easier to make payments right from within QuickBooks Online.
Let's ensure that there are Bank details on the vendors for each bill that they select. This way, you can pay 35 bills per-instance as mention by my colleague.

I do not understand this sentence:
"Let's ensure that there are Bank details on the vendors for each bill that they select."
What do you mean by this?

Glinette,
The reason I posted in this forum is because I contacted Priority Support and the rep had not heard of the feature. I had to talk him through how to do it. I think QB needs to do a better job of orienting phone support reps to new features.
That said, my usual experience with QB phone support is extremely positive, so I don't want you to think that I'm making a negative generalization.
So far no one has offered a method to solve the problem. Do you want to take up the challenge?
Thanks,
Geoff
Thanks for getting back to us, Geoff.
You can pay multiple bills for a vendor at once. However, the processing fee for Online Bill Pay still applies to each bill. You'll want to do it outside of QuickBooks Online via ACH or bank transfer.
Then, manually pay the bill in your QuickBooks Online by following the instructions here: Enter and pay bills.
Please feel free to add a comment on this thread if you have any additional questions or other concerns. Take care and stay safe.
RenjolynC,
There is no processing fee for Online Bill Pay; that's one of the advantages to using it (see attached). Another is that I don't have to bounce back and forth from QB to my banking site, enter the vendor info in two systems, risk keying errors, etc.
Why would you recommend that I do it this way? It defeats the purpose of the new online bill-pay function and requires multiple steps to accomplish.
Let me restate the original question: How do I make an online payment for the entire balance due to a vendor (instead of having the system generate a separate check for each bill) ? I am concluding that this is impossible now, but is it in the pipeline for a future update of the Online BillPay feature?
Geoff

MaryJoD,
Just so we're starting on the same page, where is the Bill pay online widget found? I'm not familiar with the QB term "widget".
Geoff
Thanks for the reply, @gstuart.
I'm here to show you where the Bill Pay Online Dashboard Widget is located in QuickBooks Online.
Once you're signed in to your QuickBooks Online account, press on the Dashboard tab in the left-hand menu. There will be a tile labeled as Bill Pay Online. I've provided a screenshot below on what this will look like in your account:
Once you've found the widget, then you can follow my colleague's @MJoy_D post to make a payment to a Vendor with ease.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know by leaving me a Reply. Have a great rest of your day.
