Order forms or print reciepts?

Kates · 03-12-2008, 10:13 PM

Hi! I am new to PC and can't decide if I want guests to fill out receipts - or - enter them into my computer and then print receipts. Would any of you mind sharing what works best for you? I'm thinking that the cost is a wash (buying receipts/buying ink). I had my first show tonight - and I had guests fill out receipt forms and then I entered it in the computer to ensure the correct total...and then immediately entered the check/credit card. It seemed to work out okay - but I also had a small group to work with.

Also - what is PP and P3? I'm guessing that PP is Pampered Plus...but I'm not sure what P3 is.

Of course, if there are any other 'must knows' to get started, those would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks for any tips! Have a super evening!

Use the write ins, then everyone has a receipt that night. If you print all receipts afterwards, then you have the cost of mailing them too.

I'd rather not create more work and expense for myself.

I'm flexible and use both. I like the carbonless order forms for shows but invariably someone does sloppy math, makes a mistake or crosses out an item so I assure them that while they'll get a copy of that night's fill in receipt, I'll print them out a nice one for their records that they can actually read. LOL.. If it comes through nicely, can be read fully and has no mistakes, I don't worry about printing them out another receipt.

I use the write in order forms at my shows. This way they leave with a receipt and the host gets a reciept to sort their order. For outside orders, I do print off a copy in PP (Pampered Partner) and mail those to the host when we close the show.

P3 is Pampered Partner Plus (3 p's) so is nicknamed P3.

I use write ins at the shows (like Deb posted!) and I just do computer ones for outside and host orders - too much work and just easier that way -

And P3 is Pampered Partner plus - if you are new to PC you will only have P3, PP was a while ago but still being used by many!

The only time I print the receipt is for the host. After the party who feels like filling out a form? So I tell him/her don't worry I will send you a receipt (and I put it in with the Thank You).

Yes, I use write ins.
