For my one year anniversary, I'm doing a mystery host show. I have nine participants, so I decided to divvy up the host benefits so all nine will win something. My question is ... when I'm putting in the final host orders of what everyone "wins", what if they all want to use a credit card. Can a host order have that many credit card charges? If it can't, can you think of a workaround?
 
I know on one single order you can't have 2 credit cards so I'm not sure how you get around that. Maybe just tell them you have to take check or cash for it to work?

Figured that was probably going to be the case.
 
Many people have cheques for their credit cards. Maybe that's an option for them if they insist on using credit cards.
 
Wow thats a tough one, I myself have been waning to do a mystery host show and I would really like to know the answer to that bc I never would have thought that they couldnt... that strange!
 
When I have a mystery host show, I draw a name from one person who place an order. They (only one person) is the one that gets the host benefits. This makes it simple for me.
 
Just to make sure...when you do a mystery host you can divide it up:
1 person gets Host benefit of the month
1 person gets free product
1 person gets 1/2 off product
1 person gets % offWill that work if everyone pays by check? I hope so!
