Have you reached your $1250 in sales yet?
There is a glitch in the PWS system that causes your website to be able to accept individual online orders the first day you set it up, but you're really not able to accept them until you reach $1250 in sales, so it disappears after the first day until you reach that mark.

Can the shows I have set up still order online?
People can order online ON a show you have set up even before you get to $1250, just not individual/outlet orders.

One way you can sort of get around the individual orders until you reach the $1250 is set up your OWN Catalog Show, or your own Cooking show on your website. I'm assuming you are going to have your own Grand Opening anyway, right? 
This would allow a few individual orders from friends, etc. The only thing is- you can't submit them until you reach $150 minimum for that show.

Actually, you can data entry it as an individual order in Pampered Partner Plus (P3) if you don't want to wait until you get more orders.

Yes- forgot about that. Since you can SEE the credit card number when you review the orders!
Unlike if you add an order to a show in P3 directly, and then try to change it over to an individual order. You can't unless you wrote the CC # down, because P3 automatically blanks it out so you can't see it anymore. (learned that lesson early on in my days!)
