We recommend using Bill.com to track only Payables, and recording credit card charges in the accounting system.

However, to store credit card receipts / bill paid via credit card in Bill.com there are two options:

• Use the Documents function in Bill.com to store credit card receipts as Vendor Documents for record-keeping requirements. To do this, send the documents into your Bill.com Inbox via email or drag and drop, then process the file in the Inbox as a Vendor Document.
