Entering Multiple Orders on One Personal Credit Card

[babywings76]

I'm buying some Mother's Day gifts (one is a direct shipment to my MIL who lives far away) and am paying for them with my personal credit card, so I can't figure out how to do this. Will it reject it if I try put in 2 separate payments on one card? I can't combine the amounts, because I get a red dot saying that the amount is too much for the one order. Any ideas what I should do?

you can put the same credit card on multiple orders under the payment tab on each of the orders. make sure the way that you spell the name, capitalization etc are EXACTLY the same. Otherwise it will error out at the end

Are you submitting it as a show? You should be able to put the combined amount under the host's name.

You know what? It's not giving me the red dot thing now! I just combined the totals on the payment for my mom's order and it's accepting it. Okay, so I guess it's alright then. Thanks for the help though! If it gives me trouble again, I'll try to put the total under the host's payment (I'm the host).

Not sure why it would have given you a red dot to begin with. Should have just been a warning. Maybe your whole show payment was too much?But yes, combine if you can. It's always better to pay one lump sum than to have a credit card company think PC is trying to over charge a customer (or you in this case) with multiple pings on the account. You can do the customers as "not yet paid" or "cash" and then put the payment on the host order ... or you should be able to put one customer as "cash" and pay for both on the 2nd customer order.I'm guessing there was something else up with the red dot. But not sure what!

Actually, I think if you mark one as cash or not yet paid, then overpay on the host/another guest with the credit card, that's when it'll think you've overpaid on the show.

I had a host pay for 5 orders with her debit card and my HD told me to put the entire amount on her order...even though it was more than her particular order...and I marked the others as not yet paid. It worked fine.

Yup! I either use "Not yet paid" or "cash" and do the same.
