# Duplicate Vendors

Should you have accidentally created a vendor in MakersHub that already exists in QuickBooks, you will need to merge the two vendors in QuickBooks. You may still see the duplicate vendor under your Vendor List in MakersHub, but this will not have any affect on future bills as the vendor selection dropdown only references active vendors from your QuickBooks.

## QuickBooks Online

Log into QuickBooks Online. On the left side of the screen click **Expenses>Vendors**. Scroll down and select the **duplicate vendor** that you want to remove.

Click the **Edit** button.

Edit the **Vendor Display Name** so that it exactly matches the vendor name you want to merge with.
