Google (Adsense), Patreon — vendors or customers?

I get paid by Google for the ads they place on my YouTube videos. I don't bill them, they just pay me each month and take 50% or so (I forget the amount). Is Google a vendor or a customer?

I get paid by Patreon, a service that lets people pay me a membership fee. Again I don't bill them. They collect payments from my members and keep a small percentage, and send me the rest each month. Is Patreon a vendor or a customer?

Everyone who gives money is a customer. Utilize the Sales Receipt to register it.

Hello there, @user01645. I'm here to help you classify about a vendor and a customer in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

A vendor in QuickBooks Online is a person or business who sells products or provides services. On the other hand, a customer is a person who pays for your products and services.

I'd recommend you refer to your accountant. For they know what is the best option for your company and they can guide you further.
 

If you need more insights about vendor or customer in QBO: Adding Products and Services, Customers, and Vendors to Lists in QuickBooks Online.

I've also added these following that will guide you in the future:
 

If you have any other QuickBooks concerns. I’ll be right here to answer them for you. Have a great day ahead.
