I'm here to share some information about sending international payments using Bill Pay for QuickBooks Online, @kramakant-gmail-.

 

At this time, QuickBooks Payments is available in the US. The article you're referring to is for subscribers using QuickBooks Online (QBO) US version. They can pay foreign vendors using the third-party app.

 

If you'd like to process your payments from QBO, I suggest going to our app center to look for an app, like Bill Pay, that works perfectly with QBO India. Check our QuickBooks Apps store and browse for an app from there.

 

In the meantime, you can record your bills or expenses in QBO manually. Then, process payments towards bills. Check these articles:

 

 

You can also check out our Help articles page. This is where you can browse some useful articles that serve as your reference for your future tasks. 

 

That should help you process bill payments in QBO. If you need further help with your bills and payments, let me know in the Reply section below. Have a great rest of the day!

Your client is using QBO US version and needs to pay a vendor located in India?

Yes, that's the case, couldn't put that while registering the question due to word limit. When he tries to make the payment, he gets the "Payments to India are not available yet" message.

Ask your clients opening a Veem account for free and integrate it with their QBO US accounts. Your clients will be able to pay in USD and their vendors in India can accept payments in USD, INR or GBP.

Thanks for the suggestion, went that route few weeks back. At the last stage, they had an unusual requirement (which my client called plain stupid) of uploading a selfie holding Photo ID. He didn't want to do it, not because he had anything to hide, it just didn't make sense. Veem chapter closed there. Another issue with Veem was, they don't ask for all the documents in one go, you upload one and then the request for another comes, validation of which takes another couple of days minimum (could be because of the first transaction). We wasted 3 weeks behind them :(.

Afaik, this requirement has become a common practice lately since the pandemic, especially with regard to the financial industry (e.g. PayPal, virtual banking services) to verify their new users.
