Common Scenarios: What to Update and Where - Coming Soon
Use this cheat sheet to quickly determine whether a change belongs in your Payee Profile or in the Customer Table (Quick Connect).
Update in Your Payee Profile (Global Information)
Use your Payee Profile when the information describes you as a business or individual and should be shared with all customers.
Update your profile for:
-
Legal name or DBA name
-
Primary or headquarters address
-
Contact information (email, phone number, website)
-
Tax details, W-8/W-9 forms, TIN/EIN
-
Bank accounts
-
Remittance or ordering addresses
-
Insurance certificates
-
Purchase order (PO) information sets
If every customer should see the information, update it in your Payee Profile.
Update in the Customer Table / Quick Connect (Customer-Specific)
Use the Customer Table when the information applies only to a specific customer.
Update in Quick Connect for:
-
Choosing which address or bank account to use for that customer
-
Selecting that customer’s payment method
-
Answering conflict of interest questions
-
Completing insurance attestation (confirming the customer is added as "additional insured")
-
Selecting the correct PO information set (if multiple are stored)
-
Adding contacts needed only for that customer
-
Filling in any custom fields or extra questions required by that customer
If only one customer needs the information, update it in Quick Connect.
Simple Rule
-
If the information describes you → Update your Payee Profile
-
If the information is requested by one customer → Update in the Customer Table / Quick Connect
