I had a fundraiser scheduled for next week and entered it in my PC3 as such. I've taken a few orders and now the chairperson wants to do a cooking show instead...

My problem... I can't figure out how to change it from fundraiser to cooking... and two of the orders have credit card payments. I thought I could simply re-enter the orders under a cooking show and delete the fundraiser, but two of the orders have credit cards payments. I don't have the original credit card numbers; so if i can't easily convert the show, I'll need to call the customers. Does anyone know if there is something in p3 I can do?
 
I don't believe P3 will let you change a Fundraiser to a cooking show. :yuck:

Looks like you'll need to call the guests. Just tell them you had to reenter the orders and because P3 x's out the card numbers you need them again.
 
I feel your pain. You don't have the cc #s on your PWS? If the orders were on your PWS, the CC #s are there. I avoid putting CC #s directly into P3 just for this reason or for when CC #s get declined and then the customer tells you put it through again when there's money in their debit account.

No way to change a show type on P3.
 
it wont let you, i had to re-enter an entire show when it switched from fundraiser to cooking show. I had all the cc numbers from the order forms, so it was more just time consuming. It let's you switch from cooking to catty or catty to cooking... not sure why it wont for fundraiser :(
 


I understand your predicament and I'm here to help! In order to change your fundraiser event to a cooking show, you will need to first cancel the fundraiser event in your PC3. To do this, go to the "Events" tab and select the fundraiser event. Then click on the "Cancel Event" button and confirm the cancellation.Next, you will need to create a new cooking show event in your PC3. Go to the "Events" tab and click on "Add New Event." Select "Cooking Show" as the event type and enter all the necessary details for the event. Make sure to also include the orders that were previously entered under the fundraiser event.Now, for the two orders that were paid with credit cards, you have a couple of options. You can either call the customers and explain the situation, and ask for their credit card information again. Or, you can simply refund their credit card payments and ask them to place a new order under the cooking show event.I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Best of luck with your cooking show!
