When a guest makes an online order, can they place a comment someplace? I have a potential group fundraiser that the team leader wants to have online orders that indicate which team member got the order to assist in the sorting. I don't want them to have to place the online order and then have to go to the Contact Me section to say who was the person who placed the order. Thanks....
 
You'll be able to get the name and address of the person who placed the order. Would the guest itself know who the "team leader" was? Or does it matter.

The organization name will be what they enter to find the show but they also want the guest to be able to indicate which person on the team asked them to place the order. I don't want to have to contact each person after an order has been placed and was hoping they could simple type a name in the comment box. Unfortunately, when I place a fake order, I don't see a comment box so think that there is no way to do this.
 
Thre are two lines for address. So why don't you tell them to type the name of the team member in address line 1 and their own street address in address line 2.

I was just going to say that! I got that idea from somewhere on here. So far, working great for a fundraiser I'm doing.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is there an easy way to get all that info from the web to Pampered Partner? I've been cutting and pasting but it seems like there should be a more efficient way - especially if there are 20 orders. Thanks.

Nope, we all need to write to HO and ask them to make it possible to export orders from a show and import them into PP.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I include my team member's name when ordering online for a group fundraiser?

When placing your order online for a group fundraiser, there is usually an option to include a team member's name in the designated field during the checkout process. Look for a section labeled "Team Member Name" or "Fundraiser Participant" and enter the name of the team member you wish to support.

What if there is no option to add a team member's name during checkout?

If you do not see an option to include a team member's name during the checkout process, you can contact the fundraiser organizer for assistance. They may be able to provide you with specific instructions or a separate form to fill out to ensure your order is credited to the correct team member.

Can I change the team member's name after I have placed my order?

Once an order has been submitted, it is generally not possible to change the team member's name associated with that order. However, you can reach out to customer service or the fundraiser organizer to see if they can assist you in making any necessary adjustments.

Is there a deadline for including a team member's name with my order?

Yes, there is often a deadline for including a team member's name with your order, which is typically set by the fundraiser organizer. Make sure to check the fundraiser details or contact the organizer to confirm the deadline to ensure your order counts towards your chosen team member.

Will my order still count towards the fundraiser if I forget to include a team member's name?

If you forget to include a team member's name, your order may not be credited to them. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the fundraiser organizer to ensure that your order supports the intended team member. If you realize the mistake after placing your order, contact the organizer as soon as possible for guidance.
