Jacksharkben Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 every month they have to renew it by clicking renew or anyway that's not auto or with me doing it by hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksharkben Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 would this addon do the trick? https://www.modulesgarden.com/products/whmcs/hosting-renewals#annual-license 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomex Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 One option would be to use a promotional coupon which will discount the full first month price. That will keep the recurring amount active while allowing them to order it for free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your initial post it sounded like you want the first month to be free and then paid after. In this case creating a promotion to discount the first month should work: https://docs.whmcs.com/Promotions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian! Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 20 hours ago, Jacksharkben said: how could I get this made in a custom addon? the usual way would be to post in Service Offers & Requests, mention the issue (optionally post a link back to this thread) and wait for developers to reply. it's worth noting that none of them would give you a quote for the cost publicly, they'll invite you to submit a request on their site - if you want to save time, you might as well just go to the sites of wsa, wgs and modulesagarden as they'll be the three most likely to reply to such threads. if you're intending to use coding for this, one idea that I will add might be to make the product Auto Terminate/Fixed Term - that means that if the user does nothing, the service will terminate after x days (assuming the cron is running)... then it's just a case of getting the developer to create a client area service renewal / link that extends the termination date by a month, and so the cycle continues for another month.... at then end of which, if they do nothing, it terminates - if they press the renewal button again, it renews. if you're going to throw money at this, I probably wouldn't go down the two product upgrade route because if you are considering coding solutions, there would be better options than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
