but I thought I would ask anyway. I have a customer who wants to pay by credit card. I already submitted the show. I know her so waiting on payment was not a big deal. I can't use her credit card to pay for kit enchantment stuff can I? I just hate dealing with checks that is all.
 
You can call HO and have them change the person's payment. I had a host who did the same thing, and I just had to wait until the order was shipped and then call with the credit card info. Then they credited my account.

Cool. The order has shipped. So I just need to call them then?
 
You can use her credit card to pay for an order on another show. Just apply her total to the credit card, keep the other person's cash or check and if there is a different just "add" another form of payment for the remaining amount of however they paid for it for their order. All that will show up on her credit card is her amount.

That is if you cannot change the form of payment - I have never had this issue before.

Call customer service and explain the situation. It shouldn't be a problem.

This happens to be the order I gave free shipping too. Making it more of a pain.
