I thought that I had read somewhere that a new recruit can use my website for an online catalog show. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
 
Just put the hosts name under your site. When you get orders through your site for her show, you can print out the orders and give them to your recruit. No orders get ordered unless we put them through P3 ourselves.
 
Gina's right. You can set your recruit up as the host (if she's doing her own show) or you can set up her host on your site. Either way, print & hand her the orders to data entry or scan & e-mail. The only limitation is that she can't pull orders from online directly into the show. She'll have to sit & hand enter them. ;)
 
Or just forward the notification e-mails to her and call her with the cc info. Don't forget to take the host out of your contact list after the show closes.

Thanks ladies!

She will actually have to get the cc info from the purchaser though right? I don't remember ever seeing anything but maybe the last 4 digits when they paid with card thru the site.
 
You can get the cc info by going into the individual show on your website and view web orders from there--the cc info is there.
 
I just set up my website and found out that actually, I could have paid to set up my website and gotten credit for the 3 free months after I qualified. I wish I had known that to begin with! I think I lost out on getting some orders on my kickoff show because I didn't have the website up and running at that time. :(
