How to Pay Bills with Slash Bill Pay

Overview

Slash Bill Pay helps you manage vendor bills from intake through payment. You can upload or enter bills, attach supporting documents, route payments for approval, and track bill status from one workflow.

Before You Start

Before paying a bill, make sure you have the invoice or bill details, a saved vendor or vendor payment destination, access to the correct entity, and permission to create or approve payments according to your team's policies.

How to Add a Bill

• Upload an invoice: Upload a PDF or image and review the fields Slash extracts, such as vendor, invoice number, dates, amount, currency, and line items.
• Enter bill details manually: Create a bill by entering the vendor, amount, due date, line items, notes, and attachments yourself.
• Forward invoices by email, if enabled: Email-created bills appear in Bill Pay for review before payment.

How to Pay a Bill

Step 1: Open Bill Pay

Open Bill Pay and confirm you are viewing the entity that should pay the bill.

Step 2: Create or Import the Bill

Create or import the bill, then review extracted or manually entered details before continuing.

Step 4: Select the Vendor and Payment Destination

Select the vendor and payment destination. The destination determines which payment methods are available, such as ACH, wire, RTP, international wire, global ACH, crypto, or pay by card when enabled.

Step 5: Choose How and When to Pay

Choose how and when to pay. Slash shows available methods, relevant fees, delivery estimates, and required payment details before you confirm.

Step 6: Review and Submit

Review the bill amount, vendor, destination, payment method, delivery estimate, memo, and fees. Submit the payment or send it for approval if your company uses payment approvals.

Prioritizing Bills

Bill Pay tables can be sorted by amount and bill due date. Use amount sorting to review the largest upcoming payments first, or sort by due date to focus on the most urgent payables. Sorting does not change bill status or payment timing; it only changes how the table is displayed for review.

Understanding Bill Statuses

• Draft: The bill has been created but no payment has been submitted.
• Pending approval: The payment is waiting for required approval before it can be sent.
• Scheduled: The payment is scheduled for a future date.
• Payment pending, partially paid, paid, or payment failed: Open the bill to review payment history, remaining balance, and any issue that needs attention.

Attachments and Supporting Documents

Attach invoice files and supporting documents so approvers can verify the payment and so your team can find the original invoice later. If a bill was paid outside Bill Pay, you may be able to link an existing Slash transaction to keep the bill's payment history and outstanding balance up to date.

Troubleshooting

If you do not see an expected payment method, confirm the vendor destination supports it and that the feature is enabled for your entity. If a bill is stuck in pending approval, check your approval policy and required approvers. If a payment fails, review the destination details, funding, and any compliance review before submitting a new payment.
