Welcome to the Community, @guppygames.

Intuit has partnered with Melio to make online bill payments as seamless as possible. That being said, we made Melio an add-on service to QuickBooks Online. If you would rather pay your bills manually, you can still do so by clicking the "Mark as Paid" option. While we’re still working on making this option sustainable for every user, we don’t have an option to disable this just yet.

I’d also like to reassure you that we’re taking notes of all your feedback. This helps us understand how the add-on service has been working for you so far, and what we can do to make it better for every QBO user.

Please do know that we provide three more options when making an online payment using Bill pay by Melio. 

Your options are:
·        Bank Transfer/ACH, which is free.
·        Pay with Credit Card which has a 2.9% fee.
·        Paper Check for $1.99 per check. 

Feel free to post if you have additional questions. Take care and stay safe.
