Hi, is the "essentials" subscription with recurring transactions? or is this for "Plus" only?

Welcome to QuickBooks and the Community, vtfermin.

The Recurring transactions features is available in the QuickBooks Essentials subscription. To start using this feature, just log in to qbo.intuit.com and click the Gear icon. Under the Lists section, click Recurring transactions. When you create a recurring transaction, there are three types you'll want to choose. It can either be Scheduled, Reminder, and Unscheduled. 

For the detailed steps on how to create a recurring transaction and how the types works, just refer to these references:
