You can perform the following actions in QuickBooks Online, and the Bills tab of the Bluevine Dashboard.
- Create and manage a payee or vendor1
- The payee or vendor is the merchant or business receiving the funds.
- Create and manage a bill

- Create/schedule a payment
- Creating and scheduling a payment allows you to send funds to a Payee.
Note: if you connect your primary Bluevine account through the QuickBooks Online banking dashboard, please name that account "Bluevine Checking" in QuickBooks Online. This ensures that everything will sync appropriately.
