Hello,
I'm looking for help on importing customers into QBO+ From what I can see, not all fields are available to be imported for the customer. I don't see an option to import the field "Other" nor any options for both the billing and shipping address? Why aren't these fields available for importing as they are critical to the success of my setup and I don't want to have to update 1000 customers manually. HELP PLEASE!
Hi there, Isaiah58NH.
The Street, City, State, ZIP, and Country fields are entered as the customer's billing address in QuickBooks. Thus, for the customer that has a different shipping address from their billing address, you'll have to manually enter them in QuickBooks.
Also, I'd make sure to pass this along to our product engineers so they can look into it and consider adding this on their future updates.
In addition, I'll walk you through on how to download the sample file. You can use this file as a reference in importing your customer information.
Here's how:

Hi, thanks for weighing in. I'm a real QB newbie so I'm not sure I understand how additional mapping works within QB+. Is this something I can do in the standard product? Thanks for your help
Thanks for the response, Isaiah58NH.
Allow me to chime and point you in the right direction about importing customer’s billing and shipping addresses fields.
Mapping helps check which fields in your Excel file correspond to the ones in your company. Currently, QuickBooks is designed not to import the information mentioned above.
As mentioned by @Kirill - CloudBusiness LLC and @AldrinS, you can use a third-party application to transfer the addresses fields into your account.
