# Create Supplier

> Create a single supplier (synchronous), or bulk-import suppliers (asynchronous). Batch rows upsert idempotently on `externalSupplierId` (or name). **Batch form (array, or `{"rows": […]}` envelope, max 5000 rows) is asynchronous:** it stages an import job and returns `202` with a `jobId` — poll `GET /api/import-jobs/{jobId}` for progress and the final result. A single object stays synchronous (`201`). See the Batch Import guide.
