Customer Type set up

Let's make sure you'll able to create and assign customer type, dgesz.

Normally, being able to create and assign customer types is available in all QuickBooks Online (QBO) versions. You'll want to log out from your QBO account. Then log back in to see if there is already an option appearing on your customers' page.

If not, we can perform some troubleshooting steps to help fix the issue. There are times your browser is full of frequently accessed page resources that may cause some unusual responses. You can log in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account in a private window (incognito). Here are the keyboard shortcuts:
 

• Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
• Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
• Control + Option + P (Safari).

Once signed in, double-check if the option is now showing. If so, return to your default browser and clear the cache to speed up the loading process. Oftentimes, your cache becomes overwhelmed with older data which can potentially cause viewing and performance issues. Clearing them refreshes the system, and you'll be able to work with a clean slate. If the issue persists, you can try using other supported browsers.

Additionally, QuickBooks offers different kinds of reports that would cater to your business needs. Learn from this article how to customize them so you'll get the information you need: Customize Reports In QuickBooks Online.

I have the same issue.   QBO Essential plan.   when I imported my customers from Desktop...they all kept the customer type.   And I can run a report for "residential" customers, etc.....  

However, I can't add a type to new customers created in QBO.  I tried the suggestion to go Incognito and try it that way.   There is no where to add a "CUSTOMER TYPE" for new customers.

This is frustrating....as this is a very useful feature.

I would feel the same in your situation, @TFletch1427. I commend your patience and your hard work to sort this out.
