CHARITY/DONATION FEATURE

Announcement-February 18, 2008

 

The Charity/Donation feature is a form the distributor completes. It asks what percentage they want deducted from their monthly or semi-monthly or weekly commission check. The system deducts that amount from their commissions.

PRIVATE LABEL CARDS (PLC): WALLET - GIFT CARDS
Announcement-June 28, 2007

Overview : The PLC functions like a credit card, it is neither a credit card nor a debit card. All transactions are “point-of-sale” for immediate deposit or use. The use of the PLC for payment of orders requires the submission of the card number and expiration date. The use of a CVV code is optional.

 

Types of Private Label Cards (PLC):

Wallet or Personal Use: This PLC can have additional funds placed on the card. Only one is issued to a distributor. The PLC is issued at the time of the first deposit transaction for the distributor. Suggested uses for the Wallet would include:

• Payment of weekly Fast Start type commissions
• Payment of net party plan credits
• International – many international customers do not have access to credit cards. This allows the distributor to wire or transfer funds to the company, the funds are placed on the Wallet and the distributor is then able to signup other distributors and order product.
• Allow prepayment of funds via wire or check for future use in purchasing product
• Easy use by distributor for personal product purchases
• Use by the company and distributor saves the company the expense of checks, debit card or ACH fees when paying the commissions and the expense of credit card fees when processing order payments

Gift Card: This PLC is a one-time issued card in a specific predetermined amount. It cannot have additional funds added to its balance. Once it is depleted it is invalid. Suggested uses for the Gift Card would include:

Distributor Backoffice Display : The backoffice menu option allows the distributor to see their Wallet balance and transaction history. There is also a display for all Gift Cards purchased by the distributor that indicates purchase date, order, amount and person sent to if the name was provided at checkout and the use date, order and ID. The Gift Card display can be designated as Open and Closed cards.

 

Using The Wallet/Redeeming Gift Cards : The PLC is simply another pay type for an order. It is used in the same manner as a credit card. There is a section on the checkout page labeled Wallet or Gift Card and a logo specific to the client that is provided by the client (similar to the Visa card logo). The user enters the Wallet/Gift Card Number, CVV code if required, expiration date and amount to be charged against the card. The card can be used in conjunction with a regular credit card, ACH or other payment method accepted by the client for the specified order type. The PLC can be used for any order type and can be included or excluded as a Party pay type. The system deducts the amount from the PLC when the order is submitted.
