After importing, then what??

[Patty Gale]

I used the cPanel/WHM import script to bring in all my clients from the server. No problem there. However, all of these clients were being billed under a previous billing method in another shopping cart.

 

For now, I've kept them all set up to "free" so that WHMCS doesn't suspend or terminate their hosting.

 

I'm stuck at one point and really need help so I can get this moving forward.

 

For each client, do I create a "Billable Item" first and then create an invoice of that billable item so that the PayPal subscription button appears on the invoice in order to get their automatic billing in the WHMCS system?

 

If so, then will WHMCS automatically change "free" to the product price and next billing date in "Products/Services" ?

 

I can't create an order because each client already has the product in their Products/Services as a result of the import.

 

If these aren't the steps, then what are the steps I need to take? I couldn't find this specific issue in the WHMCS documentation.

 

Thanks in advance!

You're over complicating it

 

#1 pick the correct billing frequency on the service in whmcs, save

#2 put the price you want them charged, or if wanting the "standard" price for the service form your product definition tick "recalculate on save", save

#3 put the correct next-due-date in for when you want them next due, save
