New QuickBooks Business Network to improve communication with your customers, vendors

Intuit will launch the QuickBooks Business Network in a few weeks**.

You will be able to connect with your customers and vendors from inside QuickBooks, meaning you won’t have to go to your email program or any other platform to accomplish some common tasks. Connecting through the QuickBooks Business Network allows you to send invoices to your customers through the network, and receive bills from your vendors directly in QuickBooks, which you can review and save without manual entry**.

  • Search for your business contacts

  • Connect with them in the network

  • Get bills in your books automatically

How it works

You can search for your customers and vendors by company name and see their website and customer-facing city, state, and ZIP code. .

Other business contact information, including customer-facing email, phone number, and full address, is masked for privacy purposes until you send or accept an invitation.

.When your invitation is accepted, you can see the masked contact information.

By connecting, you can send invoices through the network directly to your customers' QuickBooks. Also, invoices you receive from vendors are automatically added to your bills, ready for you to review and pay. No more manual bill creation!

QuickBooks is committed to protecting your privacy. Intuit promises to never sell your personal information. For more information about how Intuit keeps your data secure, visit the Privacy and Security Center.
