CrowdStrike Supplier FAQ
CrowdStrike is committed to developing partnerships with a diverse range of suppliers who value quality and integrity in order to help us stop breaches.
To have an invoice processed and paid, make sure that you have met the requirements on the following checklist:
- Has your company been registered and set up in the preferred supplier portal? For questions regarding the supplier portal, portal account activation, or portal account access, please email vendor_administrator@crowdstrike.com.
- Is a valid and correct CrowdStrike purchase order number provided on the invoice? Most CrowdStrike purchases must be preceded by the issuance of a valid CrowdStrike purchase order number. Sending an invoice without valid purchase order may result in processing and payment delay and will be return unpaid. If you are unsure on how to get a valid CrowdStrike purchase order number, contact the CrowdStrike employee who requested your goods or services and request the purchase order number.
- Is your company’s purchase order email current? CrowdStrike emails a copy of the purchase order to the provided and registered email received to every vendor. If you have not received CrowdStrike’s purchase order emails, contact the CrowdStrike employee who requested your goods or services and request the purchase order number and ask if the information on file is current.
The recommended option which allows for the fastest invoice processing will be to use the supplier portal or using the CrowdStrike purchase order email to flip incoming purchase orders into invoices right from the email notification link.
Ask the CrowdStrike employee who is making the purchase for a valid CrowdStrike purchase order. Sending an invoice without a valid purchase order may result in processing and payment delays.

If you have not received a purchase order number for goods or services pending invoice, please ask the CrowdStrike team member placing the order with your company to confirm your correct purchase order number. Please note that pre-approved exceptions to this policy will not require purchase order information. Invoices with correct purchase order references can then be sent to CrowdStrike’s standard apinvoices@crowdstrike.com inbox for processing.
If you have received a CrowdStrike purchase order and have questions, contact the CrowdStrike employee who is making the purchase.
