Making a payment from QuickBooks

Learn how to pay supplier bills from QuickBooks Online using Apron, manage approvals, and track bill statuses.

Written by Yasmine Sefouane

Once your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account is connected and your business is verified, paying a bill takes just a few steps.

Step-by-step: paying a bill

  1. In QBO, go to Bills and select the bills you want to pay

  2. Click Pay – the Apron panel opens inside QBO

  3. Review the payment details

  4. Select your funding source

  5. If your workflow includes approvals, assign an Approver or Payer

  6. Confirm and submit the payment

Note: You can select multiple bills and pay them in a single batch – the total amount is shown before you confirm.

Approvals

If your payment requires approval, the relevant Approvers and Payer receive an email notification from Apron. To approve or complete the payment, they can use the email link or log in to Apron directly. See Create payment approval workflows for more on setting up approval workflows.

Bill status in QuickBooks Online

Apron automatically updates bill statuses in QBO once a payment is processed. There may be a short delay before the status reflects in QBO.

Editing or cancelling a payment

Payment changes are managed in your Apron account. To make changes:

  1. Log in to your Apron account

  2. Go to Bills

  3. Find the payment and select Edit or Cancel

See Manage your payruns for more on editing and cancelling payments. If you're unable to make the change yourself, contact Apron support.
