# How to Update the Default Supplier for a Product
## Learn how to change the default supplier for a product in your catalog. This is useful if you work with multiple suppliers and want future orders to default to a specific one.
#### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Click **Products** (box icon) in the left-hand sidebar.
2. In the **Your Catalog** table, locate the product you want to update.
- You can use the search bar to quickly find a specific product.
3. In the **Supplier** column, click the dropdown menu for that product.
4. Select the supplier you would like to set as the default.
- The selection will save automatically.
5. Repeat this process for any additional products that require a different default supplier.
---
#### What Happens Next
- The selected supplier will now be the **default** whenever that product is ordered.
- Staff can still switch suppliers at the time of ordering if needed.
- Orders will continue to follow your batching and fulfillment settings.
---
#### Important Notes
- If you have not yet connected your account to the selected supplier, a setup window will appear prompting you to enter your supplier account details.
- Changing the default supplier does **not** affect existing orders.
- If you are located in the United States and work with multiple distributors (e.g., ABB or OOGP), you can default to one but switch at any time when placing an order .

#### When to Contact Support
- If a supplier does not appear in the dropdown.
- If you receive an error when attempting to select a supplier.
- If your supplier account credentials are not being accepted.
