Schedule a Partial Bill Payment

With QuickBooks Bill Pay, you can plan a full payment or a partial payment for a bill. You can schedule a partial payment to allow yourself more freedom when paying your merchants. To support flexible payment methods like instalments and milestone payments, this option enables you to split a single bill into multiple payments. Additionally, you can decide to use a different payment method for every scheduled payment.

When you plan a partial payment, QuickBooks keeps track of the outstanding balance and shows it on the Bill Page.

• Open QuickBooks Online and log in.
• Select Bills, then Get Paid & Pay.
• For the relevant bill, click Schedule Payment.
