[Back to Top](#backtotop) * * * ## How to Edit Payees You can edit the payee for a **single** transaction directly in the account register.

Follow these steps. 1. From the **web app**, click the name of your plan (located at the top of the left sidebar). 2. Select _Manage Payees._ 3. Search for the payee and select it, using the checkbox to the left. 4. Edit the payee name at the top of the window. 5. When finished, click _Done_. To edit Payment and Transfer payees, you'll need to [rename the account name](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/edit-account-details-an-overview-S1qj7MuR5#customize). This edits all Payment and Transfer payees for that account.   [Back to Top](#backtotop) * * * ## How to Combine Payees Follow these steps to combine multiple payees into one! 1. From the **web app**, click the name of your plan (located at the top of the left sidebar). 2. Select _Manage Payees_. 3.

In the left sidebar of the Manage Payees window, search for and select any payees you would like to delete using the checkboxes to the left. 4. Click the _Delete_ button in the main section of the Manage Payees window. 5. If those payees have transactions associated with them, you’ll notice a **New Payee** section appear and you'll be prompted to select a new payee from a drop down menu. 🚨Warning: If you select _\[no payee\]_ from the drop down menu, the payee field will be blank for any transactions that was using the payee you're deleting.\* 6. Confirm the selection by clicking the _Delete_ button again. 7. Click _Done_ at the bottom of the Manage Payees window.  #### \*Help! I think I deleted transactions and not just the payee! If you do not select a new payee to give the related transactions, it will turn the payee field blank, but rest assured, the actual transactions remain. This is likely a filter or sort order issue. Transactions can disappear if there is an active [filter or search](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/searching-transactions-a-guide-r1gxyQryj) in the account register.
