I am trying to upload my products and services but the system says that the name is invalid, i have formatted the name exactly as it was requested from the sample

Let's figure out why it's invalid, daner.

 

When choosing the name for a product/service, ensure that it doesn't exceed 100 characters. You also need to avoid using special characters. 

 

If you meet all the right formatting guidelines and it's still invalid, I suggest performing basic troubleshooting steps. You could be having browser cache issues. Start by opening a private browser or an incognito window on your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. Based on your browser type, please refer to the keyboard shortcuts below:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

 

After this, clear the browser's cache so the system can restart. Clearing the cache will reboot the system, allowing you to work with a clean slate.

 

You can also check this article for further information about the correct format for your spreadsheet: Import products and services into QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, I'll share this link to help you show customers summaries of their invoices, payments, credits, and balances: Create and send customer statements in QuickBooks Online.
