Ok I have a question. I have my own website and I was wondering if I can place an order through my own website and use my name as the purchaser or do I need to use a made up name? If I use my own, would I get paid commission on it?
 
You can use your own name. Sometimes I use my husband's, too. I haven't had a problem yet.
 
Why are you ordering off your website?? I am pretty sure than any order with a consultant's name on it doesn't pay, no matter how it was submitted...
 
Hey Jason, I would use someone else's name (ask a former host?) or hey use Kim's name and just put c/o you and your address after their name in shipping.. Just what I would do.. but why don't you just add it to an upcoming order may can save more by adding it to the host's order.
 
Hi there! That's a great question. As a Pampered Chef consultant, you are able to place an order through your own website using your own name as the purchaser. You will still receive commission on the order, as long as it is a valid customer order and not a personal order. However, we do recommend using a made up name for your own orders to avoid any confusion or potential issues. Happy cooking!
