Which supplier details can I export, and can I import the file back?
The supplier export gives you one CSV row per supplier, including its default contact and ship-from address. If no contact is the default, it uses the oldest contact. Missing contact or address values stay blank.
| Group | Columns |

| Identity | Name, Handle, Status, Category, Tax ID |

Use Status and Category to group suppliers, contact details for supplier directories, and terms and performance columns for purchasing reviews.
The supplier import accepts a smaller set of fields: Name, Email, Phone, Website, Notes, Contact Name, Contact Email, and Contact Phone. Keep those columns when preparing an export for import; edit addresses, terms, and performance details on the supplier.

Name matches an existing supplier exactly. Contacts are added only when that supplier has none, and Notes are saved only when creating a supplier. See supplier matching and import results.
