I just had someone place an online order via my website (the first!), through a host's show. Do I need to do anything with that order, like add it to the show when I submit it? I am ready to submit, but will wait until I hear back from you experts!

TIA!
 
Sandy, you have to manually transfer the order to your show! If you don't - it won't be part of the show!
 
If it was through her show (vs individual), you have to enter it into P3 or PP, just like any outside order.
 
YES - if it was for a show, you have to manually add it to the show in PP or P3 (whatever you use). I also try to call the customer and confirm their order and cc# before I submit the show - just to make sure everything is correct.

The credit card information is encrypted! I only see the last four digits! How am I supposed to enter that into P3? :eek:

Never mind ... just read the fine print ...
 
When you print out the order from your website, All the credit card info will be there
 
I assume that you figured it out. You have to login to your website, Work With Shows, click on web orders for that show and print the order (if that's easier for you). Just be aware that their full cc# is there so if you keep it, you may want to remove that.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do first when I receive my first online order from a host's show?

Start by reviewing the order details in your Pampered Chef consultant portal. Make sure to check the items ordered, the host's information, and any special instructions. This will help you ensure that everything is accurate before proceeding with the order fulfillment process.

How do I process the payment for the online order?

Payments for online orders are typically processed through the Pampered Chef website. Ensure that the payment method used by the customer is valid and that the transaction is completed successfully. If there are any issues, reach out to the customer for clarification.

What if the customer wants to change their order after it has been placed?

If a customer wishes to change their order, advise them to contact you as soon as possible. Depending on the timing, you may be able to modify the order directly in your consultant portal. If the order has already been submitted for processing, you may need to cancel it and have the customer place a new order.

How do I communicate with the host about the online orders?

Keep the host informed by providing regular updates about the status of the online orders. You can do this through email or messaging apps. Let them know when orders are placed, shipped, and delivered, as well as any issues that may arise, so they can assist in communicating with their guests.

What should I do if there are issues with the order, such as missing or damaged items?

If there are any issues with the order, such as missing or damaged items, contact Pampered Chef's customer service for assistance. They can guide you on how to resolve the issue, whether it involves sending replacement items or processing refunds. Make sure to keep the customer informed throughout the process.
