Host closed out party but doesn't want card to run until tomorrow. Need her order submitted tonight. Assume that the card won't run since it's in the evening. Anyone know for sure?
 
It will go right away.
 
Cards are run in the last step of our show finalization. If the card is declined the show won't go through. Only our debit card is not run right away.

FYI-
I talked with HO Tech this evening and they said they could not confirm either way if the card would run. It was possible it would and it was possible it wouldn't. I asked if I waited to a particular time in the evening if it would make a difference and she wouldn't give me an answer.

Figure they don't want a bunch of us waiting till the last min.

I value my customer's business and wouldn't want to put her in a bad situation so will wait to submit till tomorrow. :(
 
Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can assure you that the host's card will not be charged until the order is submitted and processed. It is common practice for orders to be submitted and processed the following day, so there should be no issue with waiting until tomorrow to run the card. However, if you have any concerns, I recommend reaching out to your team leader or the company's customer service for further clarification. Hope this helps!
