Buy nowQuickbooks Online User ~ We NEVER ship anything ~ we are a store that has a point of sale in our business. However, ever since the update I don't have a choice but to have at least the name in the shipping portion when creating a new customer. Then I have to physically delete it in an estimate or invoice (and if I don't it yells at me that the tax can't be calculated, etc). I have gone into the settings and turned the shipping preference off. I've cleared my cache. It keeps getting turned back on. LIke it just reverts and I don't understand this. I NEED this shipping option to go away. For my sanity and for the tax purposes. There is something wrong with this and I am not sure what else to do.
Thanks for posting here, @Floorpro95. I want to ensure you'll be able to get rid of the shipping info when creating transactions for customers in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
To ensure you'll be able to get rid of the Shipping to field when creating invoices or estimates, make sure that this option is disabled. Let me guide you on how:
For the old invoice interface:
For the new invoice interface:
Then, when creating a customer, you can simply leave the Shipping Address blank and uncheck the Same as billing address box.
However, if the same thing happens, you can reach out to our Customer Care team to further investigate the root cause of the issue.
Also, customizing your invoice forms to show only the details you need is easy. To get started, visit this link: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.
If I can be of any additional assistance to achieve your goal, feel free to leave a reply below. I'm just around the corner to provide additional help. Have a good one and keep safe.
So I have to do this for every customer? There isn't an umbrella way to stop this? This seems like a lot of extra work.
Hello @Floorpro95,
I know how the changes affect your productivity and navigation when creating transactions. Let me chime in and provide information about your invoice concern in QuickBooks Online.
Ideally, the shipping preference should remain disabled and not revert to the previous option. Since clearing the cache doesn't work, I recommend switching to a different supported browser.
It'll help us isolate and identify the cause of the issue on your end. If the problem persists, it would be best to contact our QuickBooks Support Team.
They can further check the issue and provide the necessary actions to get you back on track. Our representatives are well-equipped with tools to support the unresolved issue in this space.
Our support for Plus, Essentials, and Simple Start is available from 6 AM - 6 PM PT (Monday - Friday) and 6 AM - 3 PM PT (Saturday). For Advanced, any time, any day.
Here's how you can reach them:
Also, we have a guide for personalizing and adding specific info to your sales forms. I want to share an article I found helpful for you in making invoice customizations in the future: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.
