# Coming from spreadsheets and forms (/help/organizers/coming-from/spreadsheets)



**In short:** bzar does the copying, chasing and sorting for you. Each tool you use today has one place in bzar.

## Common questions

### Can I still get a spreadsheet?

Yes. **Export** on the **Applications** tab downloads your vendors as a spreadsheet (.csv).

### Do I have to chase payments?

No. bzar charges the vendor's card, and the money goes to your bank through Stripe.

### Do my vendors need an account?

Yes, a free one. They make it when they apply.
