Greetings billaskin,


I’m here to share some details on how to stop the customer’s name from showing in the Ship To section on the invoice and prevent it from printing in the address field of the check.


QuickBooks Online (QBO) will automatically include the customer’s name on the Ship To field of an invoice. You’ll have to manually delete it so it won’t show on the transaction.


Also, we are unable to prevent the name from printing in the address field of a printed check.


I’ve sent a communication to our Product Developers to let them know how you want QBO to work. It helps greatly if you can also send your ideas to them. We're always updating our product and love to incorporate users' ideas.


To send one, just click the Gear icon and select Feedback.

 

That's it. Feel free to let me know if you need any help with QuickBooks Online. I'm always happy to assist.

Thank you for the "solution".  However, it does NOT solve my issue and is not acceptable to me.  The answer that "Also, we are unable to prevent the name from printing in the address field of a printed check." is not a solution to my issue.  I will provide feedback so the "bug" can be addressed.

Any updates on this matter?  Seems like it would be a simple fix to add an option for whether the name & company show on the "ship to."  I have many customers who have their products shipped to another business and it looks unprofessional having four names (customer name, customer company name, ship-to name, ship-to company name) above the address.  Not only that, but it's confusing when there are multiple names in the ship-to.

Hello there, @leahtv.

 

I just want to let know that your suggestions are important to us in developing the product. I completely understand how this feature is beneficial to you and your business. Our developers are closely reviewing any added features in QBO to avoid errors once they're released in the system. 

 

At this time, there aren’t any updates about this and a specific time frame as to when this feature is available. 

 

However, you can edit or leave the address blank if you don't want to automatically add the customer's name on the Ship-To section. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu. 
  2. Select the Customers button to choose the customer's name.
  3. Click the Edit button.
  4. Leave the address blank.
  5. Click Save.

 

As mentioned by my colleagues, we share recent happenings and future developments on our blog. Through this, you're able to get the latest news about QuickBooks and what our Product Care Team is working on.

 

Also, I recommend the following article which contains additional insight on how to personalize and add specific info to sales forms.: How To Customize Invoices, Estimates, And Sales Receipts.

 

Additionally, you can always visit our Help Articles for QuickBooks Online in case you need some tips and related articles for your future tasks.

 

We would appreciate your patience until this feature is available. Please feel free to get back to the Community if you have any QuickBooks concerns. I'm always here to help.

It has been over TWO FRIGGIN YEARS and your engineer still can not solve this simple bug. What an embarrassing team.

Can we get an update on this?  Printing billing contacts names on company checks is extremely unprofessional and makes our company look stupid.  How has this not been fixed by now.  I figured I could google the answer but all I found is there is no answer....that is crazy to me that this is still not an option.

Hi there, @Sy29.

 

We can see how having the option to disable automatically fill details in the Ship To field inside the invoice in QuickBooks Online (QBO). As we thoroughly check here in our system, it's still unavailable. It's best to send a feature request to our Product Development Team so they can carefully evaluate your suggestions and consider implementing them in future program updates. We'll write down the steps to help you proceed:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. On the top right-corner, click the Gear icon.
  3. Select Feedback and then enter your comments or product suggestions.
  4. Once ready, click Next to submit feedback.

 

We'd recommend checking these handy articles to help you manage invoice payments, create personalized sales forms, and keep track of your transactions inside QBO:

KurtKyle_M don't get your hopes up.  This has been an ongoing issue for over 3 years.  All they tell you to do is tell you to write in a suggestion which many of us have done and there has been no change or update.
