The list is also populated with eligible filers you're connected to. Note that, if you file on behalf of a connection, you are considered the filing submitter, and the connection is considered the filer. If you submit on a connection's behalf, you are listed on the History page as the Submitter.

If you select a court specified payment type, the associated amount will auto-populate the Fee field.
If you selected the Filer Provided Fee option, input your payment amount in the Fee field. Enter a valid numeric value; for example, 25.00. You must input a value greater than $0.00.
The court can configure the fee format. For example, a court can choose to accept only whole dollar amounts and not allow decimal values ($50 vs $50.15). If the fee you input does not adhere to the required format, an error dialog will display. The dialog may list the required fee format.

If you fail to input a description, a warning dialog will display when you click Next to submit your payment.
