# Retrieve a bill check payment

`GET /quickbooks-desktop/bill-check-payments/{id}`

Retrieves a bill check payment by ID.

**IMPORTANT:** If you need to fetch multiple specific bill check payments by ID, use the list endpoint instead with the `ids` parameter. It accepts an array of IDs so you can batch the request into a single call, which is significantly faster.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required — The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of the bill check payment to retrieve.

## Headers

- `Conductor-End-User-Id` string, required — The ID of the End-User to receive this request.

## Response `200`

Returns the specified bill check payment.
