4. Yes, click on the payments tab. Click the + to add a payment. Then select credit card in the drop down menu thing. Then enter the #, it already figures out what type of card it is, so you don't have to select that.
5. If you want items for yourself there's a few ways to do that. Add a non-commission order. Enter it in as a supply order, if what you want is on the list there. (go to items, click the + button, then click on the magnifying glass and you'll see there are some products there that are at a discount.) Or you can place a non-commission order, click on personal order. THen you get a 20% discount on what you want. Or if you host your own show, then you can earn the free, half-priced, and discounted products just like a regular host. You wont earn commission on what you purchase for yourself though. Also, you get PC$ depending on how many shows you submit and how much you sell in your first 30 and 90 days. Keep track of that. Also, you get a 40% discount in your 4th month (your Kit Enhancement Month). SO be careful how you spend your money.
6. On a guest who wants it shipped to themselves, on their Name and Address section, there is an option on the right side you can click for having their order shipped to them directly. You have to enter in the tax info for their state also.

Is there a difference for us shipping cost wise?

If it's with a show, you pay the real price, then you earn the commission of 20% or so. If it's a supply or personal order, or Kit enhancement or whatever, the discount is applied right there.
Also, it shows you what the shipping costs are. I believe it's $4.25. But for supply orders, you only get one a month at the $4.25 amount. If you submit another order the same month, you'll have to pay a higher amount. (not sure how much... if it follows the direct shipping chart).
Once you get your password and can log onto Consultant's Corner, you'll want to go to the Policies and Procedures section and read up on everything. It answers a lot of questions.

You would add the guest special in just like you would a regular order. so if Jane order 62.00 then in the same box you would add the guest special. If you dont know the # there is a magnifying glass right next to the box and you can click on that. The free stuff will always be towards the bottom.
