In Bill Manager, what is the difference between adding a payee under "Manual bills" and selecting Check Pay as the action and adding a payee as a "Check Pay payee" and selecting Check Pay as the action?

If I understand the question correctly , I believe in the first case, you are adding a reminder for a bill that can be paid by Check Pay.  In the second, you are adding someone you can pay using Check Pay but not a reminder for a recurring bill.

Hi @Cassius.

Withe the new Bill Manager arrangement, for many billers (vendors) you'll be able to download your bill online - directly into Quicken, but not for all such vendors.  "Manual bills" are those billers that don't make their bills available online, therefore you'll need to manually enter that bill into Quicken.  A typical example of a manual bill might be the bill from you local municipal water authority.

"Check pay" describes payment for which you won't be able to make am online payment, therefore the only option is to have a paper check sent to that vendor.

Let me know if you have any followups.
