With one of my first catolog shows I gave away free SB. I paid the differnce owed. Is there away in P3 that I can show I paid for them? It reciepts made it look like the customer paid for it.
 
You should be able to categorize it as "consultant gift" under the payment portion of the hosts order.
 
You can also buy 10 of them for $6 on your first supply order. A very convienent way to give gifts and prizes.

Well all of these where going out of state, so I tacked them on that way. Saved me on shipping. Not that it owuld have been much. I had just started out and had not placed a supply order. Can you do the same thing if you give away free shipping?
 
yes. You can list any amount you want as a consultant gift (for instant if you have a door prize or raffle where the winner wins $X free product, you enter that amount as a consultants gift)

Welcome!
