I am getting ready to submit a catty show I threw together. I have one friend who ordered an ice cream dipper. She is on vacation and is going to pay me when she gets home. So how should I handle that w/ P3? Do I pay for it under my host order payment tab? I want to pay for it w/ my consultant credit card, but don't know if I can enter it in there and also at the end for submitting the show. Should I click "consultant gift"? That just seems wrong, but I know that way it would process my card correctly and I'd only be entering in the info the one time for the show summary payment section for submission. What do you think? Did that make sense? Could you follow my logic (or lack thereof?)
 
Just leave it unpaid and pay on the final page with your PC Debit card/cc. it will allow you to submit as long as you pay the total due on the final payment page.... it will show with a yellow triangle but that wont stop it from being submitted....

Okay, thanks. :)
 
You can also mark it "on account" for that person, or "cash" and just take care of it when she gets back.
 
Hi there! It sounds like you have a great show planned and I'm sure it will be a success. As for your friend's order, I would recommend paying for it under your host order payment tab. This way, it will show up as a separate transaction and you can easily keep track of it. You can also enter it in as a consultant gift if you would like, but I understand your hesitation about doing so. Ultimately, the most important thing is that you enter the correct information for the show summary payment section for submission. I hope this helps and good luck with your show!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if a guest hasn't paid for their order before I submit the show?

If a guest hasn't paid for their order, you should reach out to them directly to remind them about the payment. It's important to communicate the deadline for payment and ensure they understand that their order cannot be processed until payment is received. If they are unable to pay, you may need to remove their order from the show before submission.

Can I submit a show if one or more guests haven't paid?

No, you cannot submit a show if there are unpaid orders. All guest orders must be paid in full before you can finalize and submit the show. Make sure to follow up with any guests who haven't completed their payment to ensure a smooth submission process.

What happens if I submit a show with an unpaid guest order?

If you submit a show with an unpaid guest order, the order will not be processed, and the guest will not receive their items. This could lead to confusion and dissatisfaction, so it's best to resolve any payment issues before submitting the show.

How can I encourage guests to pay for their orders promptly?

You can encourage prompt payment by sending reminders via email or text, offering multiple payment options, and highlighting any deadlines for the show. Additionally, you might consider providing incentives, such as a small discount or a chance to win a prize for those who pay early.

What if a guest refuses to pay after placing their order?

If a guest refuses to pay after placing their order, you should communicate with them to understand their concerns. If they still choose not to pay, you will need to remove their order from the show before submission. It's important to maintain a professional demeanor and ensure that all transactions are handled respectfully.
