Hey... I got my website set up last week, got my shows listed and was looking just now and had the first order posted on one of the shows! I'm SO excited! Now... I may have seen this too quickly to have received an email... will I get an email from the website saying there is an order to post... I already reviewed it and printed it off so I can enter it in PP .. .I just want to make sure I don't miss anything that I need to do. Thanks once again to all of you for all the help and advice.
 
Yes, you & your host both should receive an email from HO. Then, you'll have to enter it into PP with the correct show.
