championc Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi all, With the system generating a fixed Invoice upon renewal, I just wondering if it's possible in some way for this to still happen, but to have the option to amend the product before paying. In other words, if someone initially buys a three month product and then maybe decides at renewal to buy for 12 months, or to buy the three months but with additional services, it would be good to have this flexibility - basically an amend before paying option. Is this possible somehow ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John says that it's planned for this year (2019), right on cue for the usual five-year wait for feature requests to be completed. 🙄 I can't see there being another major release before May, so I daresay this is being saved for v7.8 or v8 much later in the year... nobody will be able to tell you when that will be (not even WHMCS) - it arrives when it arrives 🚍 (probably bugged and not tested thoroughly). if you can't wait for WHMCS to introduce the feature, then ModulesGarden have a Hosting Renewals addon that I think can do what you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
championc Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks @brian! I can certainly wait for a few months - whether for v7.8 or v8.0 - obviously though sooner is better. I'd even be prepared to be a Beta Tester 🙂 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven99 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 As this is in the developer community, turning on developer mode: Using updateclientproduct API with autorecalc will tell WHMCS to calculate the recurring based on the settings. So if you give it a billingcycle of quarterly on a monthly, it will pull your quarterly pricing for the product and update recurring. To get this, you will need at least a clientareaproductdetails hook with a template change and a link with the new billing cycle. A better way is an addon that would handle that in a more controlled setting and just do a billing menu item for like "Billing Cycle Changes" and list each service there and do the actions . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

championc Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 When an option does not appear to be available or straight forward, I felt that it was certainly not an Installation items and really didn't see it as Admin or Configuration either. It's fantastic how customizable this whole suite of programs is. And so, if something doesn't appear to be available through menu items, it seems that there will be a way to acomplish everything required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
