How to apply automatic discount when paying bills?

Hi @Joya Studio,

I'm here to take care of your query.

At this time, the option to add an automatic discount for bill payments is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). What you can do is create a vendor credit transaction, based on the discount amount. You can then apply this vendor credit to the bill payment.

Let me show you how to create the vendor credit:

1. Go to the + New menu.
2. Select Vendor credit.
3. Choose the correct vendor under the Vendor drop-down menu.
4. Under the Category details section, use an income account under the Category column. (We do this instead of an expense account since it's for a discount.)
5. Fill up the rest of the form as necessary. 
6. When done, click Save and close.

Once that's taken care of, you can proceed with recording the bill payment.

Here's how:

1. Highlight the Expenses tab.
2. Select Vendors. 
3. Search for the vendor in question, then click to open their respective vendor page.
4. On the vendor page, look for the specific bill. Tap to open it.
5. Press the Mark as paid button.
6. On the next page that appears, scroll down to check if the vendor credit created earlier is included.
7. Hit Save and close when finished.

If you're looking to apply discounts for your customers as well, see this article for details: Add a discount to an invoice or sales receipt in QuickBooks Online. It will walk you through the whole process, as well as share screenshots for your reference.
