    • Your hook will work, but I wouldn't run it in production as is. It fires a hidden iframe GET at the admin "close client" URL for each row, so you get no error back if one fails, several requests can run in parallel if you add bulk selection, and you depend on an internal admin URL and token handling that can change between versions.   The cleaner way is to call the official API instead of replaying the admin page:   1. Build it as a small addon module (or at least a dedicated admin-only endpoint). An addon gives you an admin page plus access control by admin role, so not every staff member gets a "close clients" button. 2. Your list button only collects the selected client IDs and POSTs them, with the CSRF token, to that addon page. 3. On the server side, loop over the IDs and call localAPI('CloseClient', ['clientid' => $id]) for each one, collecting the result per client so you can show "closed 14, failed 1 (reason)" instead of reloading blindly.   Per the API docs, CloseClient does the same thing as the Close button: it closes the client, cancels their invoices and sets all their products to Cancelled or Terminated. It also fires the ClientClose hook, so anything else you have tied to closing still runs. One thing to test on a single client first: the docs only talk about statuses, so check whether the account is actually removed from the server (cPanel/Plesk etc.) or whether you still need to run Terminate on those services separately.   About SQL: please don't do it by setting the status to Closed in tblclients. That only changes the label. Services stay Active, unpaid invoices stay open, the cron keeps generating renewals and sending reminders, nothing is written to the activity log and no hooks run. Going through CloseClient avoids all of that.   If you just need this occasionally rather than daily, the same loop works as a one-off script that reads a list of client IDs. Take a database backup before the first big batch either way.

    • At 40-60 clients WHMCS is worth it mainly for the boring parts you're already fighting: recurring invoices, overdue reminders, suspensions, and domain renewals that line up with the registrar. Most of the "overhead" is a one-off setup weekend, not ongoing work. I run hosting billing day to day, and the switch goes fine if you treat it as a data import, not as placing new orders.   What I'd check before committing:   1. Export everything from your tool first: clients, each service with its billing cycle, recurring amount and next due date, and each domain with its registrar expiry date. That spreadsheet is your source of truth for the move.   2. Set up products, pricing, payment gateway, currencies/tax and email templates before importing anyone. Make sure each product's billing cycles match what clients actually pay today.   3. Import without triggering anything. Either add orders from the admin area with invoice generation, the order confirmation email and module create unticked, or script it with the API (AddClient, then AddOrder with noinvoice and noemail). Then set the real next due date and registration date on every service and domain (UpdateClientProduct / UpdateClientDomain take nextduedate, regdate and, for domains, expirydate). This step is what keeps renewals from breaking: WHMCS bills off the next due date, so if that's wrong you either double-bill or miss a renewal.   4. Check the recurring amount on each service. If someone is on an old price, keep that amount on the service rather than letting it recalculate to the current product price.   5. Hook up your registrar module and run domain sync so expiry dates come from the registrar, not from memory. Decide per domain whether it should auto-renew.   6. Keep invoice generation and emails cautious for the first cycle. Look at the invoice generation lead days in Automation Settings, let the cron run for a day or two, and look at what it would invoice before clients start getting emails. Running the old tool in parallel for one billing cycle is cheap insurance.   7. Card details generally can't be moved from a home-built tool. Plan for clients to re-enter them, or use a gateway that stores them on its side, so the first auto-charge doesn't fail.   Things that usually surprise people: how much time goes into email templates and the order form, and that the cron has to run every 5 minutes for automation to behave. Plan for a weekend of setup plus a week of checking, not more.
    • I run a small hosting setup for local clients here in Portland, Maine, and I've been putting together an internal billing tool with an AI app builder to keep track of accounts and renewals. It works fine for what I need, but I keep running into limits as soon as I try to handle recurring invoices and domain renewals properly, and I can't keep patching it myself.   I'm weighing whether a WHMCS license makes sense for someone at my scale, maybe 40–60 active clients, or if the overhead of a full billing platform would be more than I actually need right now. My biggest worry is migration — I don't want to lose client records or break existing renewals during a switch, and I'm not sure how much manual setup the initial configuration really takes.   Has anyone moved from a home-built or lightweight tool to WHMCS at a similar size? What surprised you during the switch, and what would you check before committing?
    • is there an issue with your servers? my installs are refusing to register their licences after upgrading and your site is not coming up only a cloudflare page
    • As is the fact you're touting the exact same site as he is. Paid spammers, looks like. At least three on this site that I've seen.  Sad.
    • The paste mix-up is worth flagging, sure, but the export question matters more for my situation. I'm in Portland, Maine, weighing a paid AI builder plan for a small trail-condition log I'd share with a local hiking group, and I'm uneasy about paying monthly if the entry tier caps database reads. Even at low volume, I'd rather not discover a limit after the group starts relying on it. What I'd decide first is whether export is included so I could fall back to a static site if costs creep. I came across AI App Builders vs Traditional Development https://aibuildercompare.com/blog/ai-app-builders-vs-traditional-development which compares approaches, though I haven't verified the numbers. Does anyone know how entry tiers handle export?
