The whole show gets put on hold. As long as it's resolved by the date they tell you, your commission and any incentives that you were working on if it happens near an deadline shouldn't be affected. The host's benefits don't change and nothing gets affected other than the show taking longer to be processed and ultimately ship. So try to get in touch with that customer and confirm you ahd the right number and maybe he/she can give you a different cc number.

Both times that I have had a credit card bounce, it has always been something technical. First time was someone who had a previous cc stolen, and her card vendor just automatically blocked any transaction that was other than a traditional merchant with a terminal. It was resoved in minutes. The second time was someone with a new card that forgot to call the 800 number to have it activated.
Both shows shipped the day the card issue was resolved. I hope yours is as simple!

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a credit card fails during a Pampered Chef order?
If a credit card fails during a Pampered Chef order, the order will be placed on hold until the payment issue is resolved. The host will be notified of the issue, and they will need to provide an alternative payment method to complete the order.
Will host rewards be affected if an order is on hold due to credit card failure?
Yes, host rewards may be affected if an order is on hold. Host rewards are typically calculated based on the total sales from the party, and if an order is not completed, it may reduce the total sales amount and, consequently, the rewards available to the host.
How can a host resolve a credit card failure issue?
A host can resolve a credit card failure issue by contacting the customer whose card failed and asking them to provide a different payment method. Alternatively, the host can also choose to pay for the order themselves using their own credit card.
Is there a time limit for resolving credit card failures before orders are canceled?
Yes, there is typically a time limit for resolving credit card failures. If the payment issue is not resolved within a specific timeframe, usually a few days, the order may be canceled, and any associated host rewards will be forfeited.
Can hosts still earn rewards if some orders are on hold?
Hosts can still earn rewards if some orders are on hold, but the total sales amount will be lower until the issues are resolved. Once the orders are completed and payment is processed, the host rewards will be recalculated based on the final sales total.
