apexpro Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Many of our clients require a paper invoice. There are many service providers available that take emails or API calls and generate a snail mail letter and send it out. Is there a module or add on that can allow the user to either manuallly or automatically request snail mail invoices? There are service providers for this function but can't seem to find a module to give it functionality within whmcs. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Is there a module or add on that can allow the user to either manually or automatically request snail mail invoices? not that i'm aware of. but if you're taking care of the printing/sending yourself and not using a 3rd-party to do it, then there's nothing to stop you from adding a link in your clientarea / invoice page that opens a support ticket, with a default message asking for a printed copy.... perhaps you could assign these clients to their own client group, and when an invoice is generated, you could use an admin homepage widget to show which invoices you need to post and print. it's been years since i've had to post an invoice to a client, so it's not something i've really had to do with WHMCS - but i'm sure they'd be plenty of ways of allowing the client the option of requesting a snail mail invoice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Create a custom field checkbox for clients to check that want paper invoice. Make a module that connects to Postal Methods http://www.postalmethods.com/, or similar services. Postal Method's API looks easy enough. http://www.postalmethods.com/resources/samples/php/441 . The issue would be getting the PDF of the invoice, but http://thewanderingsysadmin.net/?p=35 appears to do that without much fuss. (don't know which version that works on) Another option is to save the PDF on creation as mentioned in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19994866/getting-the-pdf-invoice-from-whmcs and use that in the module to send out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS ChrisD Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 https://marketplace.whmcs.com/product/1418 might be of some assistance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 https://marketplace.whmcs.com/product/1418 might be of some assistance but doesn't, AFAIK, have any client-side features - which was the point of the OP's question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
