Question About Processing a Show

[rajenkiPC]

I hope this is the right forum to post this question.

I have a catalog show I'm about to close where a few of the customers gave the host cash, which she has deposited and wants to process those orders plus her own on her own debit card. Is there anything I need to do in P3 for this? For example...should I put the payments for the people that paid her cash as "Cash" and also put the total to be charged to the hosts debit as the higher amount? Will that result in something bad?

Did any of this make sense? LOL

Edited to mention this is an out of town host. She didn't want to send me cash in the mail and would prefer to use debit card over sending a check. Thanks!

If someone pays the host, I do not put anything in their order (technically they never paid me). Then after I get the host's order, PP/P3 should tell you the total owed for the show. That is what I charge to the host's CC. I do this on all shows, I do not get checks or cash from hosts after the show, I close them all over the phone. By putting that they paid in cash, it won't show how much the host owes as a total and your show won't balance out to $0 if you over charge the host and put cash in for the guests.

Ok...so the guests who paid cash...their receipts will show no payment. Is that ok then?

You could adjust their payments before you print the receipts.

Hi there!Yes, this is the perfect place to ask your question. It's always best to clarify any doubts or concerns you have with your fellow consultants.To answer your question, yes, you can definitely process the orders from customers who paid the host in cash through the P3 system. You can simply enter the payments as "Cash" and then add the total to be charged to the host's debit card as the higher amount. This will not result in any issues and is a common practice for out of town hosts.I completely understand the host's preference for using her debit card instead of sending a check. In this case, it's important to make sure that you have all the necessary information from the host, such as her card number, expiration date, and security code. This will ensure a smooth transaction and timely delivery of the orders.I hope this answers your question and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further concerns. Happy cooking!Best,
