I am new to QBO - I have just downloaded all my transactions from year. I have aprx 75 contractors that perform services for a business that I work with each month. These are referees working for a sports league. I oversee the assignments and payments with my business. 

I am trying to set up all the payments to these referees/contractors in QB online. Do I set them up as a Vendor or a Customer in the Payee Field? My category was going to be Contractors.
