It’s possible that you have multiple bills waiting to be paid. To simplify this process, you can schedule a payment for all unpaid and partially paid bills all in one go, directly from your Melio dashboard.
Here's how:
1. Go to your contacts.
2. Select the vendor you want to pay.
3. You’ll see the total amount to pay and number of bills under OPEN BALANCE.
4. Click Pay unpaid bills.
5. From the Schedule payments screen, you’ll see all of a vendor's unpaid bills.
Note: Bills to the same vendor
To combine payments to the same vendor, you can find Multiple payments to same vendor above your table. Toggle on Combine into one.
Tips: Get the most out of scheduling payments
- Pay all your bills at once on a set date, or pay each bill on its due date.

- Select a payment method, deduction date and delivery method for each bill separately.
6. Delete a payment that is not ready by hovering over it and clicking “X” .
