The Gather Clipper can be configured to automatically create new supplier contacts when saving items from the web. This saves time and keeps your Contacts list up to date without manual data entry.

Here is a short video walkthrough of this process.
Step 1: Open Clipper Settings
Open the Gather Clipper in your browser.
Click the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner of the Clipper window.
Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Enable Automatic Supplier Creation
Find the option labeled Create New Suppliers from Clipper.
Check the box to enable this feature.
(Optional) You can also toggle the "Remember Last" settings here to have the Clipper remember your Project, Area, or Vision Board for subsequent clips.
Step 3: Saving a New Supplier
Once enabled, the Clipper will look for the supplier whenever you are on a product page.
If the supplier is not already in your Gather account, the Supplier field will say "No Supplier."
Type the name of the supplier in the field and click Add.
Fill out the rest of your product details and click Save to Gather.
Gather will now automatically create a new profile for that supplier in your Contacts list, including the website URL.
💡 Pro-Tip: The Importance of URLs
The Clipper uses the website URL to recognize suppliers.
Automatic Recognition: If a supplier is already in your Contacts with their website URL saved, the Clipper will automatically populate the Supplier field the next time you clip from that site.
Manual Cleanup: If you have existing contacts that aren't showing up in the Clipper, go to your Contacts library and ensure the Website field is filled out for those organizations.
