Pay the rent / pay for the materials

Hi teachers,

When is "for" needed?

Dictionary says:

Pay the bills

Pay the electricity

But

Pay for the materials

Pay for the shoes

Thank you very much

Hi Mister Micawber,

Thank you for answering my question.

Does "bill" here mean "invoice"?

Thank you.
