I believe the answer is:

facile

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'easy' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'bill into folder' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'ac' (short for account).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'folder' becomes 'file folder' (file folder is a kind of folder).
'ac' placed into 'file' is 'FACILE'.

'to slip' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
