Ok, I just found out that you have to have special paper to print your receipts on. Well I dont have a supply order going out and I need to print receipts. I really dont want to have to hand write them on order forms. Is there anything I can do. The receipts you print say something like not valid unless printed with something on the back.
 
Maybe see if someone in your cluster or your director would give you some.
 
Yep, I'd buy or borrow some from a cluster mate.
 
Can you just print out P3 receipts and then get the guarantee info from the OOF on Consultants corner? You would print out the P3 receipt. Then flip over the paper and print the guarantee info on the back.
Is that allowed? Or do you have to use the special P3 receipt paper?
 
You have to have the paper for it to be considered a valid receipt.
 
Ok thanks!
 
When I first joined and had my first party (in November) I didn't know about the P3 receipts, and I live 40 minutes away from my nearest cluster member. I printed out the receipts on plain paper, then attached a note telling the customers that my official receipts were on order, and that once the supplies came I would get them their "official" ones. Not a single person complained, and there were at least a dozen people. I think I used a cute little note starting out by saying, "Thank you for being one of my first customers as I start my new business!" and then continued, explaining that they would get their formal receipt as soon as my supply order arrived. Just an idea...
 
The back of the Outside Order Form is the SAME as the back of the company-printed receipt.

Is PC going to void a customer's order b/c you didn't print it on correct paper? NO. If it bothers them enough they will contact you - or, better yet, supply you with appropriate paper at no cost to you.

Don't sweat the small stuff!
