QuickBooks Business Network

The new QuickBooks Business Network connects you with your customers and suppliers. This helps to keep contact information up to date and allows you to send invoices directly to your customer’s QBO account and to receive bills from your suppliers directly to your QBO account. This feature automates your accounts payable, which helps to save time and minimize errors.

Your QuickBooks Online subscription automatically connects you to the QuickBooks Business Network. Only customer facing information will be shared. Be sure to verify your company contact details to ensure all your information is accurate. 

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to Settings, select Account and settings.
3. Select the Company tab.
4. Update the following contact information, if applicable:
   1. Company name
   2. Customer-facing email
   3. Company phone
   4. Website
   5. Customer-facing address
5. Select Save, then Done.

When you add a new customer or new supplier to your QBO account, as you type in the customer or supplier name, you will see results appear from the QuickBooks Business Network. Selecting a business from the results will populate that business’ contact information into your customer or supplier form. Once you save the information, it will automatically update to reflect the customer or supplier’s most recent details in your QBO account. 

Should you prefer not to be viewable in the network, you will need to go to your QuickBooks Online account to turn the feature off.

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Go to Settings, select Account and settings.
3. Select the Advanced tab.
4. Select Business Network, and select Off.
5. Select Save, then Done.
