From there you will enter a bill and when you save you can schedule the payment. Once you hit the schedule you will be prompted to set up QuickBooks bill pay.

You will have to enter your bank account and choose how you want to pay, ACH or check.

The next step is to enter the vendor information. You also can send out that bill with a tag or note stating the date it will arrive.

An email confirmation will then be sent to the vendor.
Subscriptions
Another cool thing is QuickBooks Bill Pay is offering three subscription levels. Bill Pay Basic, Premium and Elite.

Basic doesn’t have a monthly subscription, you will get five free ACH payments, anything over that five you will be charged 50 cents, you also can pay by check for $1.50 per check.
Premium will give you 40 ACH bill payments, anything over will still be 50 cents and $1.50 check.
Quickbooks Bill Pay Elite Subscription Features
Elite offers roles and permissions and workflows. This is for those working with larger clients and juggling multiple team members. There are various types of roles and permissions available inside of Elite.

You can take advantage of the various roles and create workflows for those roles.
Example of Setting Roles in Bill Pay
There is an option for a Clerk who would be entering the bill, then you would have an Approver who can go in see the details and approve it, then there is the Scheduler who will go in and send the funds.
There also is an Admin user who would have access to all of the functions. The entire process is available and visible to the admin.
