Vendor

Someone you buy from. Vendors and customers share one contact list; a contact can be both.

In Solo Superstars

The Vendors page is the contact list filtered to vendors. Mark a vendor as a 1099 contractor and the app tracks what you paid them by check, cash or transfer.

Example

Your web host is a vendor; a client who also sells you stock photography is both a customer and a vendor on one card.

Codes shown are the defaults a new workspace starts with. Yours may be renamed or renumbered — check Accounting › Chart of accounts. See the full default chart.
