Billing Start Dates

[virgil]

We are just getting to grips with the whole shopping basket experience with WHMCS and can't find an answer to the following problem. I wondered if anyone has a workaround for this please.

 

The service we sell requires manual setup, so we have setup the Product in WHMCS with an Autorelease module option set to 'Do not automatically setup this product'.

 

We normally charge a pro rata fee from the date the service is made available to the end of that calendar month, then take a prepayment for the following month.

 

With the way WHMCS is setup, it raises an invoice reflecting a service start date of the day the order is placed. Is there a way of setting WHMCS to invoice only once the service is delivered?

Hi,

Regrettably there isn't an option to handle this automatically in WHMCS as standard. You could potentially write some customisations yourself, say using a hook to cancel the invoice before it's emailed to the client. Then when the product is delivered and the staff member changes the Next Due Date, a new invoice would be generated:
