Service/Product renewal related questions

[Nelson Neoh]

Hi there.

After a long search in Google and this community, I didn't really able to find a clue on how to handle this, if there is a product which upgrade will incurs a full charge, rather than default prorated charge in WHMCS.  Do you guys has any hints or workaround?

Here's the full list of issues I am experiencing now, hope will get any help from you here.  Thanks in advance.

1. What's the proper procedures to take, if there is a product/service renewal or upgrade will incurs a full charge rather than prorated according to remaining days?

2. When a product/service renewed (recurring auto CC charged or invoice paid), which hook or function in Addons/Provisions can use to trigger follow up actions?  Like post an API request to principle for such renewal action.

3. When a Renewal button being click, either on Admin/Client Panel, it will triggers invoice and charge directly on client deposited funds if sufficient fund available.  Which localAPI should I call?

4. I noticed if the Product/Service being created with recurring terms, for example monthly or annually, it will automatically triggered an invoice by WHMCS cron.  Wish to know if there is sufficient fund in client account, will the cron direct credited its balance and send a paid invoice?  Which hook should I use if the invoice send is a paid invoice?

Best Regards,
Nelson

Here's something answer formally by WHMCS support and adding in some elaboration on my questions.  Please help to contribute some idea, or point a way for my research.  Will share here on any findings later.

Recently there is no such thing supported by WHMCS.  Am asking for any possible workaround.  If you do have some point to share, greatly appreciated.

Asked support but they don't really captured what I am needed.  Pending for clues.

It seems like no native "renewal" localAPI can use.  I am thinking just make a custom function to handle this, all by direct Models manipulation.

Hey Nelson, This is quite a commonly discussed issue with WHMCS - It's awful at billing prorata unfortunately, Not only are the amounts and logic used wrong - Those that tell you otherwise probably have an accountant that hates them 😛
