Can I Place an Anonymous Order for a Friend?

[Adrian]

I have a customer who wants to place an order anonymously for a friend. It's part of a Christmas in July activity we are doing in an on-line small business group we both belong to. If she places the order through my website with the friend's mailing address, will the paperwork show her name as the person who placed it, or could she just put Anonymous as her name (though she would have to use her real name on the payment section)?

Alternatively, should I offer to place the order myself with shipping to the friend, but use her credit card info?

Thanks!

I'd enter the order in the recipient's name, as this would keep the buyer anonymous, and also be better for warranty purposes. You can then use the buyer's credit card to cover the cost.

Thanks! I'll have her try that and see how it goes.

Exactly. You can always have a different name entered for a credit card payment (from the order). This is what I would do for her.

Sounds like she is trying to do it online.... She has to put in an email and contact info. Why don't you just put it into P3 for her?
