As a merchant, handling business payments, managing vendor relationships, and dealing with accounting software can take more of your time than it should. Oftentimes you may find yourself hopping between systems to pay invoices or upload payments to your accounting software. That time spent on administrative work adds up and takes you away from what’s important: growing your business.
\nThat’s why we built Shopify Bill Pay powered by Melio, a fully-integrated business payments tool that helps you easily pay invoices without leaving your Shopify admin.
\nShopify Bill Pay is a business payments app that lets you easily schedule, pay, and manage your business invoices from your business admin.
\nWith Shopify Bill Pay, you can keep track of all your vendors, suppliers, and contractors in one place. Regardless of your payment method, you can let vendors decide if they want to receive funds by check or bank transfer.
\nNow, you can save time paying your business bills and stay on top of your cash flow all from Shopify. And the best part? There are no signup or subscription fees.
\n\nBased on interviews conducted by Melio, merchants using Shopify Bill Pay save 16 hours per month on average paying business bills.
If your vendor only accepts checks, that’s okay. With Shopify Bill Pay, you can pay via Shopify Balance, credit or debit card, or ACH bank transfer, and vendors can receive payments through ACH bank transfer, paper checks, or international wire transfers. This flexibility strengthens vendor relationships while ensuring everyone’s needs are met.
\n
Geography shouldn’t keep you from working with the best vendors and suppliers in the industry. Shopify Bill Pay lets you pay vendors worldwide without any complicated workarounds. This allows you to form relationships with vendors outside of the US and manage everything from the same place.
\nMisplacing or losing track of your bills can result in missed deadlines and late fees. To ensure you keep tabs on all your bills, you and your vendors can send invoices to your dedicated email address.
\nShopify Bill Pay will automatically populate your Pay Inbox with invoices for your review. All your invoices are centralized in one place, organized, and ready for you to schedule payment.
\nThe first time you pay a vendor through Shopify Bill Pay, your payment preferences will be stored for future use. You can change these preferences at any time.
\nIf you’re paying a vendor for the first time, you’ll quickly add the vendor’s details to process payment. After that, their details will be saved for future payments—and your vendors don’t even need to sign up.
