1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right corner.

Hi can you explain how to do this custom form ?

Hello there, @Jonboy1210. I'll provide information about QuickBooks Online (QBO) Custom form styles.
 

The option to create a second trading name using the Custom form styles in QBO is currently unavailable. These styles are designed to customise invoices, estimates, and sales receipts.  

To have a second trading name, you'll need to create a new company file with a new subscription by going to the QuickBooks pricing page. 

Here's how:

1. In the Plans and Pricing page, choose your subscription.
2. On the Sign-in page, input your email address.
3. Click the Create a new company button.
4. Follow the on-screen steps to finish creating an account.
   
   

Additionally, if you wish to send a physical or PDF copy of your sales forms, refer to this guide: Download and save sales forms and statements in QuickBooks Online.
