Drop Shipping

 

This topic contains notes for QuickBooks Online users who drop ship or participate in third party shipping.

 

 

Ship To Address Fields

Customers who want to ship to a Company Name or Attention that is different than the customer card in QuickBooks Online can change their field mapping in ShipGear so that the correct Ship To information is imported with the Sales Receipt or Invoice.

The default mapping will not properly import the drop shipping Company Name or Attention.

ShipGear provides you with two additional Ship To fields - "Ship To Company Name" and "Ship To Contact Name" - that you can map to get the address to import correctly when you are drop shipping.

 

When these fields are mapped, you must have at least four (4) address fields in the Ship To address, and they must be in this order :

These examples show you how to map these fields for each carrier in Customize Interface.

Tip

You can also add a simple Attention field in QuickBooks, for example "Attn: Receiving", and then unmap the Ship To Contact Name in Customize Interface.  This setup will also import the Ship to Company Name and address properly.
