Daily Billing

[jokerboy]

Is there a way to change the billing/subscription cycle to daily or weekly billing, ex:

 

Customer can choose 1 day billing/subscription cycle which gives them access for 1 day and if they don't renew it 'eventually' cancels?

 

I'd like to create a selection of these such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 or 14 days, etc. etc.

 

 

Thanks

Not with standard WHMCS but you can customize it to bill your clients even every hour, minute or second

[jokerboy]

How can I do that ? Is there a documentation for that ?

Thanks

Prevalently with hooks, API and custom script but you understand that it's not something that you can develop in 5 minutes and learning all those things take months/years

Do you have an advice for me ?

Well it's pretty hard to give an advice since it depends on what service you are selling and with what platform. Probably you should run automatic check every day and store usage statistics in a dedicated custom table on database then create an addon module to track everything, a script that bill and create invoices for all used resources of services based on your pricing and finally suspend, unsuspend, activate and terminate them accordingly.

 

Or maybe you just want to use a less elegant approach. Let's say that a service costs 30 euro / month. Do you simply want to bill 1 euro / day? In this case it's easier but you still have to code it.

I know that you're already aware of the ModulesGarden Advanced Billing addon which might be able to do this, but are reluctant to spend that much - but i'm not aware of any other addon can provide daily billing and its entirely possible that a custom solution might cost more (Kian will know more about that than I)... there is always the option of testing their trial version.

 

off the top of my head, the only standard daily billing option WHMCS has are "Billable Items", but I don't this helps you because they can't be ordered by clients, only setup by admins.

Yes I know that addon but I am not sure about it. Maybe I will first try it. Thanks
