Does P3 let you use your personal cc to close shows? There is a new consultant who has to submit her 4 shows by tonight and hasn't received her debit card yet? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
 
I am pretty sure you can only use the PC debit or credit card.
 
I've heard of someone using a personal CC for the first couple of shows. Have her call PC and ask.
I remember she told me they had her fill in her CC on every order and then they would do one transaction.

Thanks for the info....we are actually on hold with HO...but sometimes you gals/guys are so quick with the info...I thought I'd try both..

I remember reading a thread about this but don't know how long ago that was.
Thanks again
 
I don't think you can as a consultant but it will work as a guest payment because I have had other people pay for orders like a boyfriends card on the ladies order diff last name and went through I think your cc could go in there too
 
She can get her Pc card number from HO. Thats what I did when I signed up they gave me the number over the phone so I could get started.
 
Or she can put the payment on the hosts order (did everyone pay her cash or check?) and she'll get a warning in P3 that their are "unpaid" orders, but it WILL let you submit it that way. And the credit card name does not have to match the guest's name.

Thanks everyone!!!!
Just so you know...HO said if you didn't have the debit card when P3 updates if it is available it will enter it....pretty kool!
AND
a new consultant CAN use their own cc to submit show but only in the first 30days...

Hope that helps everyone! Thanks for all your responses. CS ROCKS!!
