One of my customers told me the other day she couldn't order from the outlet from my site, and I just thought she clicked on the wrong thing. So I went on today and clicked "order products" then "place order" under "not invited" and it takes me back to the same page- so the link/button goes nowhere. What is going on? Am I missing something here? I can search for a party by entering host info but can't place individual order. HELP! What am I doing wrong?!
 
I just tried it and same thing happened to me but then when I hit on order products again it brought me to the outlet. Kinda strange.

I'll try for you...brb
 
Okay it worked for me. I clicked on 'order products', 'place an order', and then an attention box came up saying 'to place an order with your host click here to go to option 1 otherwise click here to continue'. I had to click on the words 'click here to continue' and then it brought up the menu on the left. I chose kitchenware, stainless mixing bowl set and added it to my shopping cart :)
 
If you are putting in a host's name, you won't be able to shop the outlet too. It's either/or ... not both. You can not add outlet orders to a show. ;)
 
If a customer had previously placed an order associated with a show, then that info is saved as a cookie in their browser, and will confuse the PWS. They'll need to clear the cookie, either by clearing all of them, or clearing all that have "Pampered Chef" in them.

Thanks, I don't know why it doesn't work for me. I even hold control, thinking my computer blocked a pop-up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't my customers place individual orders on the Pampered Chef website?

There could be several reasons why customers are unable to place individual orders. One common reason is that they may not be linked to a specific consultant's party or the party may have ended. Additionally, if there are technical issues with the website or if the customer is not logged in, they may face difficulties in placing their order.

What should I do if my customers are having trouble placing orders?

If your customers are experiencing issues, first ensure that they are connected to an active party. You can also advise them to refresh the page or try using a different browser. If the problem persists, it may be helpful to contact Pampered Chef customer service for assistance.

Can customers place orders outside of a party?

Yes, customers can place individual orders outside of a party, but they must do so through the consultant's personal website. If they are unable to do this, it may be due to a technical issue or because they are trying to order from a party that has already closed.

Are there any restrictions on placing individual orders?

Yes, there may be restrictions based on promotions or special offers that are only available during a party. Additionally, if a customer is trying to order items that are out of stock or discontinued, they will not be able to complete their order.

How can I help my customers successfully place their orders?

To assist your customers, ensure they have the correct link to your personal website and that they are logged in. Provide clear instructions on how to navigate the site and place an order. Encourage them to reach out to you directly if they encounter any issues, so you can help troubleshoot the problem.
