Now, is it used only for PC items on the website or can you use it at other stores? I don't want it if it's for everything but I'll get it if it's only for PC related items. KWIM?
 
The debit card links your bank account to PC. That is the only way you can use it. You can apply for the PC Credit Card that you can use other places, too.
 
It's the only way you can submit shows, supply orders, and personal orders electronically.

You need it. It's really not an option, IMHO.

The only other way to do electronic ordering is with the PC credit card.

Great-thanks so much! I just did the debit card and direct deposit.
 
That's why it's called, "Proprietary."You can, however, have your bank create a debit card for that account, which you can use to purchase other items for your business (office supplies, clothing from VIP, literature and support items from Merrill) and that simplifies bookkeeping - that is - if this checking account is strictly for your TPC business. I even use mine to purchase groceries that I use for practice (tax deductible as a business expense) or to buy food items for shows and demos.
 
Well good idea!!! I think I will do that!
 
I do what Kitchen Guy does.
 
That's kind scary...Oh, wait, you mean with the Debit card. Never mind.
