How to Add a Vendor in Shopify

If you're using Shopify, vendors can be automatically created when products are imported to ShipHero by adjusting this setting in My Account > Stores > Store Settings. 

If you need to add new vendors, you can do so from the web dashboard.

Adding Vendors Using the Dashboard

  1. Go to Purchase Orders > Vendors.
  2. Use the search tool to make sure that the vendor does not already exist.
  3. Once you're sure this vendor does not already exist, click the Add a Vendor button located on the top right of the screen, just below the top menu.
  4. Enter the vendor name.
  5. Enter the vendor contact email addresses. This is used to send your vendor an email notification when you create purchase orders.
  6. Enter a vendor account number. This is your internal reference number, typically used for accounting.
  7. Enter any additional notes for internal reference.
  8. Click Save.
