I have a quick question (I couldn't reach my director, upline, etc) so I thought I'd ask you all!! I have numerous people calling me wanting some products. But the problem is, each order is around $30 - plus they are paying to have them directly shipped to them. Here's my question... They all don't add up to $150 - and I really don't want to add to it - I would have to spend over $60 to get it to the $150 level. They all paid by check and would like their products quickly, like next week. How should I enter them? Can I still submit it as a "Catalog" show through PP and make it seem like the Host didn't reach $150? Or will PP kick it back to me because it's under $150? I don't have any open shows that are closing this/next week. I have two for the end of July but I know these customers won't wait that long. Has anyone gone on their own website to place an individual order for the person, but used your own credit card? I thought about doing that - making them seem like 3 individual orders - use my cc since they already paid me by check. Any advice would be appreciated!!
Thanks!!

You can place it as an individual order on PP. Just go to the add button and when the box pops up in the pull down menue there select individual instead of cooking. Hope that helps. I know you can't turn it in as a catalog show since it isn't 150.
 
Just enter it on PP as individual orders if you don't have anything else to send in. Then since they have already paid with a check you can just use your pc debit/credit card.


Just in case you aren't familiar, you would go to add show and when it asks you if it's a catalog, kitchen, etc. just go to individual order and put it in.
 
But you will have to pay the indivudual shipping charges.

Thank you!I didn't see that option - thanks!! All of them already paid the individual extra shipping charges - I let them know that at the time of the order. Wow - I feel silly now!! I knew there was cooking, catalog & fundraiser, but I didn't see the "Individual" option - sorry!!

Thanks again!!

Do individual orders count towards any incentives?
 
Yes, they count as long as the incentive doesn't specify a certain type of show it needs to be.

Also, only a percentage of orders can come from online to count towards the trip.
