To modify a vendor's information, whether you’d like to add additional locations, assign specific products to the vendor, or something else, navigate to **Products > Vendors** in My Liftoff and click the blue *Edit *button to the right of the vendor's name.
## Tabs, fields, and their descriptions
Below is a listing of the data fields available to you when editing a vendor. Each grouping of fields is nestled underneath its respective tab, as it appears in My Liftoff.
### Vendor tab
**Name**
This is the name of your vendor. This is how it will be displayed throughout Liftoff.
**Country**
`United States` is set by default. Selecting a different country from this list will change what is required for a complete address (e.g., change from ZIP to Postal Code).
**Address**
This is the address for the vendor. It is important to have an accurate address in order to ensure properly rated shipments.
**Phone**
This field is **OPTIONAL**
Your vendor’s main phone number.
**Email**
This field is **OPTIONAL**
Your vendor’s main email address.
**Terms %**
Refers to the discount percentage offered by a supplier for early payment or other favorable payment conditions.
**Terms Days**
This specifies the time frames related to early payment discounts or to the overall payment period.
**Terms Net**
This is the number of days within which the full payment for an invoice is due.
**Default Fulfillment Instructions**
This field is **OPTIONAL**
If you have any instructions that need to be sent to the vendor for the fulfillment process, enter them here. You can override these default instructions when defining a [fulfillment workflow](https://help.liftoffcommerce.com/space/KB/2732392467/Fulfillment).
### Locations tab
This tab is where you can define multiple locations for a specific vendor. If your vendor has more than one fulfillment location, you can add them by clicking the blue *Add Location* button.
**Name**
This is the name of your vendor's *Location*. This is how it will be displayed throughout Liftoff.
**Country**
`United States` is set by default. Selecting a different country from this list will change what is required for a complete address.
**Address**
This is the address for this vendor’s fulfillment center. It is important to input an accurate address in order to ensure properly rated shipments.
**Phone**
This field is **OPTIONAL**
The main phone number at this vendor’s location.
**Order Email**
This field is **OPTIONAL**
If you provide an email address in this field, submitted orders will be emailed to this address. This is in addition to any integration you may have.
### Products tab
This tab is where you can view any products assigned to this vendor. If you need to modify a product, clicking the button will bring you to the *Edit Product* page.
### Documents tab
This tab is where vendor-related documents are stored and can be managed. For example, if you, the subscriber (our customer) has a warehouse that you are working with to store inventoried products and releases, you likely have some sort of contract with the vendor that details your agreement. This "Vendor Agreement" document can be attached to the vendor in Liftoff in order to help organize and store that data for quick and easy reference. It's a useful feature for those who are not using a dedicated CRM (or some other service) to manage these documents.
### Shipping Method Aliases tab
Some vendors only recognize shipping methods in “their own terms.” What they expect may be different from what your customers select when placing an order and may be different still from what the Liftoff system generates.
In order to bring things into alignment and provide a shipping method value that your vendor recognizes, you can create an **alias** for one or more shipping methods you’ve enabled in My Liftoff.
**Example:** You offer UPS 2-Day Air for your Liftoff customers. Your vendor can use that method, but in their systems, they call it “Express.” Using this tool in My Liftoff, you can create an alias for UPS 2-Day Air called `Express`. When you do, your vendor will see `Express` in their order PO, but your customer will see `UPS 2-Day Air`.
Everyone sees what they expect to see, and confusion is alleviated.

> ℹ️ For each vendor, you may configure one alias per shipping method.
