I'm wondering if I can pay suppliers directly from QBO?

Where is your company located?

Hi JDumaresq,  

At the moment, paying supplier bills in QuickBooks Online for Canada is primarily for recording transactions only. However, you can explore third-party applications that integrate with QuickBooks Online to pay your suppliers directly online.  

Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions or need further assistance.

You can use Bill to sync with QBO and get cashbacks to pay your bills.
