Overview

Paying your first bill in EasyHOA is simple. Once Bill Pay is activated, you can submit and pay vendor invoices directly from your dashboard.


Step 1: Go to Bill Pay

  1. Log into your EasyHOA Dashboard
  2. Navigate to "Pay Bills"

Step 2: Add or Select a Bill

You can either:

  • Create a new bill
  • Or select an existing bill that hasn’t been paid

When creating a bill, you’ll enter:

  • Type (Expense or Reimbursement)
  • Contractor/Payee name
  • What's it for & the Invoice amount
  • Invoice Date & Invoice Due date

Step 3: Upload the Invoice (Optional but Recommended)

Attach a copy of the invoice for:

  • Record keeping
  • Approval workflows
  • Audit history

Step 4: Review and Submit Payment

Before submitting:

  • Confirm amount
  • Confirm vendor details
  • Confirm payment date

Step 5: Select Pay Now

  • Select the "paid from" dropdown to select what bank account the funds should come from.
  • Proceed directly to Pay Now.

Step 6: Payment Processing Begins

Once submitted:

  • Funds are scheduled to be debited from your HOA bank account
  • The payment is sent to AvidXchange for processing
  • The vendor receives payment via their preferred method

What Happens Next?

You can track your payment status in real time:

  • Processing – payment is being prepared
  • Debit Requested – funds being pulled
  • Sent / Issued – payment delivered
  • Cleared – vendor received funds

First Payment to a Vendor

For new vendors:

  • The first payment is often sent as a check
  • AvidXchange will then reach out to enroll the vendor for faster future payments (ACH or virtual card)

Tips for Your First Payment

  • Submit payments ~10 days before the due date
  • Double-check vendor details
  • Ensure sufficient funds are available
  • Use ACH when possible for faster delivery
