This is first time I've used my PWS and I'm wondering about online orders. My show is set to close today. After tonight will the guests not be able to order or do I have to delete the show or something? I'm most likely going to submit the show when I get home from my FT tonight - but I don't want someone ordering after that. :)

Thanks!
 
They cannot order after the date you have it set to close. If you need to change that date you can change it at any time- to close it or keep it open later.

GREAT - thanks!
 
Once the date you enter as the close date comes to pass, no one can access the show. It will indicate "host not found" or something like that if someone puts in that host name.

When you go to your list of shows, it will no longer appear, however, you can reactivate it by going selecting "closed show" from one of the top choosers. Reset a future close date and it will pop back into your open shows and be reactivated again for folks to order from.

You most often will change a close date for 2 reasons: 1) a person reschedules altogether and 2) a host wants extra time to close a show.

Good luck!

Awesome - thanks for the replies ladies! I'm super excited I'm at $1375 for sales right now - some orders are still tricking in. That gets me to my $3750 in 90 days bonus! SCORE!! :)
 
Wow that is a great show. Way to go on your 90 days.
 
That is awesome! You deserve a happy dance!
 
Woo hoo, Missi!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can guests still order from Pampered Chef if my PWS is closed?
