I have a host who did a show for me and everyone gave her the money and she wants to pay with her debit card. How do I go about doing that? I didn't know if I could do it or not. Please tell me how to go about this. Thanks.

What I have done (not saying it's right, but it works!) is to use her card number on each individual order.

I tried it just having the host overpay and everyone else underpay, but that didn't work.
 
I have done it both ways - putting the card in for each order, and also all at once. As long as the total paid = the total of the show, it should work. You will probably get a yellow warning (in P3), but it won't stop you submitting it as long as the right amount gets paid. Not sure if that is clear, but hope it helps!
 
It used to be you COULDN'T pay a show on ONE credit card...has this changed with P3?

I just put the credit card under the Host and put the whole show total in the payment section.
 
I done several that way now and not had a hitch. They run the cards before they ship, so it really shouldn't be a big deal. Maybe they realize that many of us have the host collect and pay us?

I don't give them the option to do this simply because it could possibly create more work for me and that the home office frowns upon it. Whenever I have a host ask to pay for the entire order with their card, I let them know that the money acutally comes out of my bank account so I will need check, cash, or money order, whichever is easiest for them, and they always say that is fine
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I can't find my show in the system?

If you're unable to locate your show in the system, first ensure that you are logged in with the correct consultant account. If the show was recently created, it may take a few moments to appear. If you still can't find it, check with your director or contact Pampered Chef support for assistance.

How do I process payments for my show?

To process payments for your show, navigate to the 'Orders' section of your consultant portal. From there, you can select the show and choose the payment method for each order. Make sure to confirm that all payments are processed before finalizing the show.

What if a guest wants to change their order after the show has been closed?

If a guest wishes to change their order after the show has been closed, you can still assist them by contacting Pampered Chef customer service. They can help you make the necessary adjustments, but be aware that there may be deadlines for changes depending on the order status.

How can I track the shipping status of my show orders?

You can track the shipping status of your show orders by going to the 'Orders' section in your consultant portal. Each order will have a tracking number that you can use to check the shipping status directly on the carrier's website.

What should I do if a product is out of stock after my show?

If a product is out of stock after your show, you should inform your guests as soon as possible. You can offer them alternatives or let them know when the product is expected to be back in stock. Additionally, you can assist them with placing a backorder if that option is available.
