How to place a party order

Great job! You’ve completed your Cooking Party! Now it’s time to place the order.

Once you’ve logged into your Virtual Assistant: 1. Simply click on the ORDERS tab 2. Then select 1. Party Order ($250 Comm or more) order type.

If your party didn’t reach $250 even with outside orders, you have the option to select a catalog order with multiple customers or single customer order. Any orders under $125 are charged $10 shipping and any orders over $125 are charged 8% of the total as shipping.

After selecting the Party Order type, select the party date and enter your name and address information in the Host section, shown below. The address you provide is where the entire order will ship to. On this same page you will find Host/Hostess Credits for enrollment, this is where you will enter the amount of host dollars your host wants to use towards the New Consultant Business Kit. This is optional. Save and Continue.

Let’s enter your first guest! Simply click on +Add Guest/Booking and fill out their contact information if available. If your customer would like to have their individual order shipped directly to them, simply UNCHECK the section “Ship to Host/Hostess.” All of the guests you enter will be automatically saved to your contacts!

You’ve now added your first guest! Notice that their name is now listed in the Pricing Level section.

Enter the items they would like to purchase and click Add/Lookup. Repeat with all customers.

Once all customer orders are added let’s move on to the Host order! Using the Pricing Level Drop down menu, select Host Order to add any full-price retail items the host would like to purchase.

Then select Host Gift to redeem the Host Reward dollars earned. Select Host 1/2 Off Order to redeem product she would like at half price, depending on her party sales. *Note Host Rewards and 1/2 off items DO NOT roll forward to future orders, if they are not redeemed at the time of the party they are lost.

After all the product has been entered, click the Payments button at the bottom of the screen.

You will then see an outstanding balance, which is the entire order discounted at your specific commission rate.

Click +Credit Card Payment and select one guest and enter their credit card information below.

Each customers total is listed next to their name. Save all payments. The outstanding balance will decrease with credit cards being entered. Sometimes you receive an overpayment which is your commissions from the order. Other times, you may have to enter your card information to pay the balance. That usually means you had more customers pay cash or check directly to you, so you have already received your commissions with those forms of payment.

After all payments have been saved be sure to click Submit Order on the lower left side of the screen. After submitting, a Sales Order Number will be processed and can be viewed under the History tab of your Virtual Assistant. Congratulations your first order is complete!
