Managing vendors within Shopify Bill Pay

Vendors don't set up accounts with Shopify Bill Pay. Instead, you add the vendor's details to your own Shopify Bill Pay account, and can manage their preferences and details within their vendor profile.

A vendor can't have both domestic and international delivery methods on one vendor profile. You must instead set up two vendor accounts, one for domestic payments and one for international payments.

Create a vendor profile

Automatic profile creation

When you pay a bill using Shopify Bill Pay and the vendor doesn't already have a profile in your Shopigy Bill Pay account, then a vendor account is automatically created.

Manually add a vendor

You can also manually create a vendor profile at any time before making a payment.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, click Finances > Bill Pay.
2. Click Vendors.
3. Click Add vendor.
4. Enter the vendor's details, and then click Save.
5. Select a delivery method.
6. Enter the details, and then click Save details.
7. Optional: Add any additional delivery methods:
   1. Click Add delivery method.
   2. Select a delivery method.
   3. Enter the details, and then click Save details.

Integration with QuickBooks Online

If you connect your Shopify Bill Pay account with a QuickBooks Online account, then profiles for the vendors with unpaid bills are automatically created when the accounts are synced.

Edit a vendor's profile

After a vendor profile is created, you might want to update or change certain details or delivery methods. However, you can't delete a vendor's delivery method. Any changes that you make in Shopify Bill Pay are synced if your account is connected to QuickBooks Online.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, click Finances > Bill Pay.
2. Click Manage vendors.
3. Click the vendor.
4. Next to the details or delivery method that you want to edit, click Edit.
5. Edit the details, and then click Save details.

Delete a vendor profile

Deleting a vendor profile can only be done if there are no upcoming scheduled bill payments for that vendor. You'll need to delete any scheduled payments before you can remove a vendor profile.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, click Finances > Bill Pay.
2. Click Vendors.
3. Click the vendor.
4. Click Delete vendor, and then click Delete vendor.
