# Why can’t I enable customer portal for my vendors?

Only the customers of your Zoho Books organization can access the customer portal You cannot share it with your vendors. If you want a portal for your vendors, you can use the [Vendor Portal](/books/help/vendor-portal/) feature in Zoho Books. You view the portal link:

*   Go to **Settings** in the top right corner.
*   Click **Vendor Portal** under _Preferences_.

The **Portal Name** and the **Portal URL** will be available in the portal details section.

Learn how you can [invite your vendors to the portal](/books/help/vendor-portal/#enable). Once your vendors accept the invite and log in to the portal, they’ll be able to view purchase orders, accept or reject them, view the payments you’ve made, and [much more](/books/help/vendor-portal/#functions).
