+title: Receive and Pay Bills
+description: Expensify bill management and payment methods.
+---
+
+Easily receive and pay vendor or supplier bills directly in Expensify. Your vendors don’t even need an Expensify account! Manage everything seamlessly in one place. 
+
+# Receiving Bills
+
+Expensify makes it easy to receive bills in three simple ways:  
+
+### 1. Directly from Vendors  
+Share your Expensify billing email with vendors to receive bills automatically.  
+
+- Set a Primary Contact under **Settings > Domains > Domain Admins**.  
+- Ask vendors to email bills to your billing address: `[email protected]` (e.g., for *expensify.com*, use `[email protected]`).  
+- Once emailed, the bill is automatically created in Expensify, ready for payment.  
+
+### 2. Forwarding Emails  
+Received a bill in your email? Forward it to Expensify.  
+
+- Ensure your Primary Contact is set under **Settings > Domains > Domain Admins**.  
+- Forward bills to `[email protected]`. Example: `[email protected]` (e.g., for *expensify.com*, use `[email protected]`).  
+- Expensify will create a bill automatically, ready for payment.  
+
+### 3. Manual Upload  
+Got a paper bill? Create a bill manually in [Expensify](https://www.expensify.com/):  
+
+1. Log in to [Expensify](https://www.expensify.com).  
+2. Go to **Reports > New Report > Bill**.  
+3. Enter the invoice details: sender’s email, merchant name, amount, and date.  
+4. Upload the invoice as a receipt. 
+
+
+# Paying Bills in Expensify
+
+Expensify makes it easy to manage and pay vendor bills with a straightforward workflow and flexible payment options. Here’s how it works: 
+
+## Bill Pay Workflow  
+
+1. **SmartScan & Create**: When a vendor sends a bill, Expensify automatically SmartScans the document and creates a bill.  
+2. **Submission to Primary Contact**: The bill is submitted to the primary contact, who can review it on the Reports page under their default group policy.  
+3. **Communication**: If the approver needs clarification, they can communicate directly with the sender via the invoice linked to the bill.  
+4. **Approval Workflow**: Once reviewed, the bill follows your workspace’s approval process. The final approver handles the payment.  
+5. **Accounting Integration**: During approval, the bill is coded with the correct GL codes from your connected accounting software. Once approved, it can be exported back to your accounting system. 
+
+## Payment Methods  
+
+Expensify offers several ways to pay bills. Choose the method that works best for you: 
+
+### 1. ACH Bank-to-Bank Transfer  
+
+Fast and fee-free, this method requires a connected [business bank account](https://help.expensify.com/articles/expensify-classic/bank-accounts-and-payments/bank-accounts/Connect-US-Business-Bank-Account).  
+
+**How to Pay via ACH:**  
+1. Log in to your [Expensify web account](https://www.expensify.com/).  
+2. Find the bill on the Home or Reports page.  
+3. Click **Pay** and select the ACH option.  
+
+**Fees:** None.  
+
+---
+
+### 2. Credit or Debit Card  
+
+Pay vendors using a credit or debit card. This option is available for US and international customers paying US vendors with a US business bank account.  
+
+**How to Pay with a Card:**  
+1. Log in to your [Expensify web account](https://www.expensify.com/).  
+2. Open the bill details and click **Pay**.  
+3. Enter your card information to complete the payment.  
+
+**Fees:** 2.9% of the total amount paid.  
+
+---
+
+### 3. Venmo  
+
+If both you and the vendor have Venmo accounts connected to Expensify, you can pay through Venmo. Learn how to set up Venmo [here](https://help.expensify.com/articles/expensify-classic/bank-accounts-and-payments/Third-Party-Payments#setting-up-third-party-payments).  
+
+**Fees:** Venmo charges a 3% sender’s fee.  
+
+---
+
+### 4. Pay Outside Expensify  
+
+If you prefer to pay outside Expensify, you can still track the payment within the platform.  
+
+**How to Mark as Paid Outside Expensify:**  
+1. Log in to your [Expensify web account](https://www.expensify.com/).  
+2. Open the bill details and click **Pay**.  
+3. Select **Mark as Paid** to update its status.  
+
+**Fees:** None.
