# Vendor Mappings

> Map OTA platforms to vendors in your QuickBooks Online account.

## Overview

Vendor mappings connect each OTA platform to a corresponding vendor in QuickBooks Online. When Host Ledger posts a payout as a deposit, QuickBooks requires a "Received From" vendor — this is where it looks it up.

Navigate to **Settings → Vendor Mappings** to configure these.

## Platforms

| OTA Platform    | What to map it to                           |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Airbnb**      | A vendor named "Airbnb" in your QBO         |
| **VRBO**        | A vendor named "VRBO" in your QBO           |
| **Booking.com** | A vendor named "Booking.com" in your QBO    |
| **Direct**      | A vendor for direct bookings, if applicable |

<Tip>
  If the vendor doesn't exist in QuickBooks yet, create it there first — then come back and map it here. Host Ledger will auto-suggest matches based on the platform name.
</Tip>

## Missing Vendor Warnings

If a payout comes in from an OTA with no vendor mapped, Host Ledger will flag it for review and prevent it from auto-posting. Map the vendor in Settings and reprocess the payout.
