Can't import Customer Type when importing Customers from csv. Why?

Hi there, host.

I'm here to clarify things regarding importing customer type in Quickbooks Online, and I'll be sure to guide you through the process.

When importing Customers from a CSV file into QuickBooks Online, there are specific guidelines to follow to ensure a successful import. One of them is the correct mapping. It is important to note to match your CSV file columns correctly with the corresponding QuickBooks Online fields to avoid errors. 

Since the Customer Type field in QuickBooks Online Field isn't available, you're unable to import them. 

You can find detailed steps and answers to frequently asked questions about importing customer data, including the required file format, in these articles:

Thanks for the reply.

Its just that in the sample import file for the customer csv import that I downloaded from the Quickbooks support site  contains the Customer Type field. And so I naturally assumed that the Customer Type field is a allowable field in the Customers data.
