3awh Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I setup 2 months free with instructions here. the instructions said only monthly orders can set this up (forgot were I got them I think the Docs about a year ago). I got an order today and the person ordered with the Promotion code I setup for the free 2 months. they got the invoice and it said 0.00 Due and no Payment for the first month. Thats fine if I was offering first 2 months free then on the third month they can pay for hosting. But if I do that I will get all the spammers that get 2 months free to spam and abuse the account. To cut down on that I would like to offer the free 2 months after they pay for the third month up front. How can I do that. I checked the add on section and found only abandoned mods and none that would do it. Anyone know of a add on free or commercial that can take care of that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 couldn't you just add a setup fee that is the equivalent of the 3rd month ? you might need to change it to 3 free months, so they aren't charged twice for month 3 - and possibly modify the language files too with overrides.. order -> charged setup fee for month 3 month 1 -> free month 2 -> free month 3 -> free (already paid for) month 4 -> invoicing kicks in as normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't solve pay for the third month before getting the 2 months free. they will see setup fee and cancel thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 +1 for brian solution, this way they will pay for the third month and get 1st and 2nd months for free, how this can not work? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3awh Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 I will give it a try but I feel there should be a dedicated option within WHMCS to offer months free after first payment - - - Updated - - - I just realized something I would have make up 3 new products with setup fees in order to do this. so now I would have 6 products for 3 options Too Messy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian! Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 That doesn't solve pay for the third month before getting the 2 months free. yes it does - they'll be charged the setup fee immediately.. that's the charge for month 3 already in the bank. they will see setup fee and cancel thanks which is why I said to use language overrides - you change the term "setup fee" to something else (or remove it). I just realized something I would have make up 3 new products with setup fees in order to do this. so now I would have 6 products for 3 options Too Messy I don't get why you would need 3 new products... Brian can you walk me through setting this up? WHMCS John's reply in your original thread is still basically correct... http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?91855-How-to-offer-2-Months-Free-Hosting I think recurring should be set to 2, and you need to add a setup fee to the product... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3awh Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I have decided instead of using a setup fee that will show on non 2 month free new accounts even with a language change for setup fee. I did also add the recurring 2 times as you suggested I will invoice from Paypal the third month fee before I setup the account. thanks for all the help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
