With ME (MarginEdge) Bill Pay, you can pay your bills directly from within MarginEdge, putting an end to the time and cost of writing checks, stuffing envelopes, and buying stamps. Some great features of ME Bill Pay include:
- View all your unpaid invoices on a single screen and sort them by due date, vendor, and payment status.
- What if I have multiple units? Multi-location restaurant groups can view and pay invoices across locations from a single screen if they all share a bank account. See this article for more info.

- Choose the invoices and the payment dates, and MarginEdge will send the payment as scheduled. (Only available for vendors with a US postal address.)
- When will my vendor receive the payment?
- Check payments are sent via USPS First Class Mail. ~95% of checks are received within 3-4 business days
- Electronic Payments are remitted directly to the vendor 2 business days after the payment is processed in MarginEdge
- See this article for more details on payment cut-off and transit times.
- When will my vendor receive the payment?
- Payments are synced with your accounting system*, saving you time and keeping your A/P up to date
*see below for the full list of supported systems - Allow Vendors to receive confirmation emails so they know when their payment is on the way
- Set up automatic payments so that you don't have to remember to schedule that payment on time! And if you only need to pay part of that bill right now, you can do that too.
- And if that payment you forgot about needs to go out today, you can just pay a vendor and upload the invoice later!
Special Bill Pay User Roles
A "Bill Pay User" is a role that has similar permissions as a "Manager" but has the added benefit of being able to pay bills and view the Bill Pay setup. This can be given to someone who may not need to access many of the operational features or setup pages within [me], but mostly needs to be able to use [me] for the Bill Pay section.
Restaurants can add an extra layer of oversight by turning on the Payment Approval feature, which requires a designated authorized "Payment Approver" to approve all scheduled payments before they are sent. Once this feature is enabled, only users with the "Payment Approver" role will be able to authorize the payment. Read more about this feature here: Bill Pay Payment Approval Feature
