Create Vendors either as a CPT, user role - something persistent.

[JustinSainton]

When creating payment requests, it's very common for us to have multiple payment requests per vendor. Having to re-enter their information multiple times is a minor annoyance.

Having an easy auto-complete (Select2?) field that would allow you to select an existing vendor, or create a new one, would be rad. Setting all of the user/post meta once and being able to re-use it (especially across years, as we tend to re-use vendors year after year - or even across camps, as there are many "recommended" vendors, like Hi-Voltage for t-shirts) would be a big time saver.

Cheers!

This ​hasn't picked up any traction on make/Community, so I'm closing it for now, but it can be re-opened if the Community team approves it.
