Hello there, @jaredemoore.

In QuickBooks Desktop, you'll have the option to pay vendors through Direct Deposit. Before doing so, make sure you have an active payroll subscription.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Vendors menu.
2. Click Pay Bills.
3. Select the vendor you want to pay.
4. Click Direct Deposit by clicking the Method drop-down arrow in the Payment section.
5. Make sure to select the correct account for the payment and the date.
6. Click Pay Selected Bills.
7. Select Send Direct Deposit.
8. Hit Send.

For additional insights, you may also check out the article about how to pay bills through direct deposit: Pay bills for vendors through Direct Deposit.

However, if your payroll subscription is already activated and you still can't use direct deposit to pay your bills, I'd advise reaching our QuickBooks Payroll Support Team. They'll have access to your account and be able to check the status.

Also, to know your payroll subscription, you can refer to this link for reference: QuickBooks Payroll Services and Features for QuickBooks Desktop.

I've added these articles that will guide you on how to set up Direct Deposit for contractors and vendors:
