How can I change default Billing Cycle monthly to Annually?

[TorabRamin]

When someone trying to order a new service the default billing cycle always set to monthly but I like to set this billing cycle annual instead fo monthly.

either add &billingcycle=annually to the end of your product links, or you could edit configureproducts.tpl and re-sort the {if} statements in the recurring billing block of code (the part that generates the dropdown list)

How can I re-sort can you give me an example?
I'm using Lagom theme. Attached configureproducts.tpl

configureproduct.tpl

ignore what I said about resorting them, it wouldn't make any difference - I forgot that WHMCS will default to choosing the smallest available cycle. 🙄

if you're going to do this in the template, you could just add the code below to the beginning of the template...

{assign billingcycle "annually"}

and that should default the product to choosing the annual option - if it's available or another cycle hasn't been chosen in the URL.

WHMCS also intend to add this future as a future request already submited.

link?

just because a feature request has been submitted, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will get added to WHMCS.

then I doubt you'll see it until v8.

the sad thing is - if that FR had been a question here 4 years ago, it would have been easily answered (by me or others)... instead of gathering dust for 4+ years. 🙄

Hi @brian!,

Thank you so much for your help.

I added this to the tpl and it works fine.

However, I noticed that when I append the billingcycle=monthly to my URL, it doesn't select the monthly cycle. How can I use this such that the appended billing cycle is selected?

Hi,

We have added {assign billingcycle "annually"}, which does indeed make sure 'annually' gets selected by default. We use configurable options with our hostingproducts, and even thought 'annually' is selected, the prices shown in the dropdown menu of the configurable options are not correct, the dropdown menus show the 'quaterly' prices. You can see this in the screenshot 10GB should show €15, not €3,75. Only when i click on 'annually' again it shows the correct prices.
Does anyone know a fix for this? Thanks!

go back one step in the order process, e.g products.tpl and add &billingcycle=annually...

you probably won't need the smarty stuff, just adding the above will default all products to annual and config options should work from that value.
