Definitely, @accounts548. I can walk you through adding an existing vendor or customer to QuickBooks Business Network.
Selecting New Customer or New Vendor in QuickBooks Online will allow you to search the Business Network and add contacts
I'll show you how it works:
- Go to the Company name and type in the business name. By doing so, the results will appear in the QB Business Network.
- Choose a business from the list and the form pops up with the business' website, city, state, and ZIP code from their customer-facing address. Unless an invitation to connect is extended or accepted, the company's entire address, phone number, and email address are partially hidden from customers.
- Moreover, you can manually add your customer's or vendor's contact information. However, if the business later updates their contact information, updating any of the information in any of the fields with links would stop automatic updates from the QuickBooks Business Network.
- At the bottom of the form, select Save and send request to finish. By doing this, you add the company to your list of clients or suppliers and send it an email inviting it to connect. Moreover, the QuickBooks Online app for iOS or Android can send you invitations to log in.
- Your customer's or vendor's partially hidden business contact information will become visible if they accept the invitation, enabling you to send and receive invoices over the network.
