Tracking your bills should be simple. In your bill pay dashboard, every bill has a "Status" label that tells you exactly where it is in the payment process
The Bill Lifecycle at a Glance
Here is the typical path a bill takes from your inbox to the vendor’s bank account:
Draft → Scheduled → In Progress → Paid
Status Definitions
Here is a detailed breakdown of what each status means and what action (if any) is required from you.
1. Active Bills (Action Required)
| Status | What it means | What you need to do |
| Draft | We have scanned the bill (or you started typing it in), but it isn't finished yet. | Review & Save: Verify that the extracted fields are correct. A bill needs a vendor, payment method, and a deduction date. Once saved, it becomes Scheduled. |
| Payment Failed | We attempted to complete the transaction but ran into a problem. | Fix & Retry: Click into the bill and follow the instructions listed. You may need to fund the account or re-enter the vendor’s payment information. Note: If the funds were deducted from your account but could not be sent to the vendor, we will automatically refund the money to you after 30 days. |
2. Processing (No Action Required)
| Status | What it means | Can I still edit it? |
| Scheduled | The bill is scheduled to be paid on the deduction date. | Yes. You can edit the bill up until the day before the deduction date. |
| In Progress | The payment process has started and your funds are on their way to the vendor. | No. Once a bill is "In Progress," it cannot be stopped or edited. |
3. Completed
| Status | What it means |
| Paid | The payment was processed. This is the final state for successful payments. |
| Marked as Paid | You indicated that you paid this bill outside of this system (e.g., you wrote a check or paid cash). You can mark it as "Unpaid" if this was a mistake, which returns it to the inbox as a Draft. |
| Archived | You have moved this bill to the archive. No further actions are possible. |
