Why are the shipping info fields appearing now? They were not previously showing.

Hi there, @twp_espie. 

Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your shipping fields concern. Let's get this sorted out and get you back on track. 

There are a few things that we need to check to verify why shipping fields are now showing on your sales translation. First, we'll need to make sure that the Shipping option on your Sales form content information is off. 

To do that:

1. Click on the Gear icon.
2. Select on Accounts and Settings.
3. Select on Sales.
4. Refer to the Sales form content and make sure that the Shipping box is not checked. 

I've attached a screenshot below to guide you with the steps:

Second, check on your Custom Forms Styles section and make sure that the Shipping box is unchecked.  

Here's how:

1. Click on the Gear icon.
2. Select on Custom Forms Styles.
3. Select a template and click on the Content tab.
4. Click on the upper section of the template.
5. Under the Display portion, make sure that the Shipping box is unchecked. 

To visualize this steps, please refer to the screenshot below:

However, if the issue persists after verifying the steps above, you can log into your account through the Private browser mode. This is to verify if the issue has something to do with your browser.

Here are the different keyboard shortcuts to open a private browser:

• Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Internet Explorer: press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: press Command + Shift + N

If it works fine, you can go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. Please follow the outlined steps in this article depending on the browser you're using: How do I clear my browser cache and temporary Internet files?

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know by posting a comment below. Have a wonderful day!

Hi there, @Anonymous.

Thank you for trying the recommended steps given above. I have some more solutions we can try to resolve your Shipping info field issue.

Let's check your default invoice template in QuickBooks Online. It could be the reason why the Shipping field keeps showing though it's turned off on your Accounts and Settings.

Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon.
2. Choose Custom Form Styles.
3. Under Form Type, look for INVOICE(default).
4. Click Edit.
5. Choose the Content tab.
6. Click on the upper section of the template.
7. Make sure that the Shipping box is unchecked. 
8. Click Done to save changes.

Try creating an invoice once more. If the same thing happens, I'd be best to get in touch with our Customer Care Team. They can initiate screen sharing session with you to investigate this further.

You refer to this article in getting their most current contact number: Get help with QuickBooks Online.

Keep me updated how it works for you. I'm here to help however I can.

I have the same issue and have for some time now.  Any resolution on the shipping info showing on the invoice despite the settings set to NOT include shipping information?

Greetings @GreenBridge!

In sending an invoice to your customers, make sure to select the customized invoice form style. Let me help you how.

Open an invoice transaction, then click the Customize option at the bottom of the page and choose the default form style.

You can refer to the screenshot below for your visual reference.

If you still get the same result, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. They have tools that can help them investigate further why you can't get rid of your Shipping field and help you from there.

You can always get back to us here in the Community if you have any other questions.

I am having the same issue.  I went through all of the steps recommended and everything is turned off.  It just randomly started appearing one day for no reason.

It's nice to see you here, @BoBella,

How do you do this with Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2020?

Hi there, @Zaaphod,

If you're referring to adding the shipping amount or charge on invoices, you will need to create a shipping item and assign it manually to the sale. Here's how:

1. From the Lists tab, go to Item Lists.
2. Right-click anywhere then press New.
3. Use a Service or Other Charge as the Type to account for the fee.
4. In the Item Name/ Number field, enter the description of the account (Shipping).
5. (Optional) Add a Description if you want to remember what this item is for.
6. In the Account field, choose Income if the shipping is billed to the customer. Otherwise, use a different account of your preference.
7. Once you're done click OK.

When creating an invoice, assign the shipping item the same way you assign your products and services. See this:

We also have a Shipping Manager feature to help ship and mails with UPS, USPS, and FedEx directly in QuickBooks. Click this link to visit our Community guide.

However, if you're referring to something else, let me know so I can check on it for you. Have a nice day!

So this is still a bug and its now 3 years later. QBO is so frustrating. 

I have this problem appear periodically.  They've now been showing up on sales receipts for the past 3 weeks.  I've tried all the tips mentioned in this thread and nothing works.  Will there ever be a resolution?
