# Add a supplier list to POS

Source: https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/add-a-supplier-list · Last modified 21 August 2026

There are a number of reasons for staff to access product suppliers from POS, including to:

-   Follow up on order delivery times and shipping status
-   Request advice about a product, such as product care
-   Report defective goods and arrange returns
-   Place an urgent order

To make a supplier list available to POS staff, each supplier needs an Account record in Salesforce.

### Add a supplier to the POS supplier list

1.  In the apps menu in Salesforce, search for and open **Supplier** **Accounts**.
2.  Click **New** to create a new record. The **New Supplier Account** window opens.
3.  In the **Account Name** field, search for a supplier.

4.  If the supplier exists, select them and then select **Save & New**. This adds them to the list. Repeat step 3 for all existing suppliers.
5.  If the supplier does not exist, create an account for them, then add them to the supplier list.

(Existing StoreConnect businesses only). If you used existing supplier contact records in the procedure above, you may also need to [complete this sync procedure](https://support.getstoreconnect.com/article/What-Records-Sync-to-your-Website "Sync records to website") so the suppliers appear in the POS dashboard.

### Create a new supplier account

1.  In the apps menu in Salesforce, search for and open **Accounts**.
2.  Click **New** to create a new record. The **New Account** window opens.
3.  Enter the supplier **Name** and add the relevant contact details.
