Closing a Show & It's PENDING - What To Do?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

When closing a show, encountering a "PENDING" status indicates a technical issue with the platform, preventing edits until the show closes. Users have successfully resolved this by right-clicking on the show in the list and selecting "submit" after ensuring all recent updates are applied.

Happened to me once. I right clicked on the show in the list. That allowed me to choose submit. It went right through. Just make sure you have done all of the recent updates.
 
Yes, this has happened to me before. It usually means that there is a technical issue with the platform or website that is causing the show to be stuck in a pending state. In my experience, it is best to contact technical support as soon as possible to resolve the issue and ensure that your show closes successfully. It is also a good idea to save any changes or updates you made to the show before it went into pending status, just in case they do not go through once the issue is resolved.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when a show is marked as "pending"?

A "pending" status indicates that the show has been closed but is awaiting final confirmation or processing. This may involve waiting for payments to be processed or finalizing guest orders before the show can be fully completed.

How can I check the status of a pending show?

You can check the status of a pending show by logging into your Pampered Chef consultant portal. Navigate to the "Shows" section, where you can view all your shows and their current statuses, including any that are pending.

What steps should I take if my show is pending for an extended period?

If your show is pending for an extended period, first verify that all payments have been processed and that there are no outstanding issues with guest orders. If everything appears in order, contact Pampered Chef support for assistance in resolving any potential issues.

Can I still add orders to a pending show?

No, once a show is marked as pending, you cannot add any new orders. However, you can still communicate with your guests about their orders and ensure that all payments are completed before the show is finalized.

What should I do after my show is marked as pending?

After your show is marked as pending, monitor the status closely. Ensure that all guests have completed their payments and follow up with them if necessary. Once the show is fully processed, you can begin planning your next steps, such as sending thank-you notes or scheduling follow-up calls with your guests.
