Discount for existing product/service

[Brandonm]

I've been analyzing and reviewing WHMCS for a few hours now. I am in awe.. I LOVE IT. We've been using MB for the last 2-3 years. Now that MB4 is out of development we are lookig for something that is 'active'. Also since we have a large customer base I need to analyze every aspect and feature of the software. So far I've found every feature I've looked for except one. I'm still looking though.

 

Discount for an existing product/service. I'm not talking about a coupon or promotion code. I am talking about adding a discount to an existing customers product or service. The only way I see to give this package a discount is to pull out my calculator and do some math and modify the 'recurring amount'. Is there a better way?

 

I'm planning to import 2500+ packages from my existing billing software and many of them have a specific discount applied. How is this handled when using the import tool that you provide?

 

I am excited about this change and really looking forward to the better features your software offers.

 

Thank you.

Hi Brandon,

 

Glad to hear you are liking WHMCS! Regarding the discounts, changing the recurring amount is indeed the way that is done in WHMCS. When importing from MB, WHMCS takes the regular package prices and removes the discount percentage set on a per client basis in MB for the recurring price in WHMCS.

Thanks for the update Matt,

 

On this question, how does WHMCS deal with the 'Price Override' field in MB - is that ported across?

It seemed to work for our customers with a price override.

Yes looking through WHMCS I feel like I'm in heaven. It's everything MBILL4 should have been.

 

So when the import is done the discount remains intact?

 

I really like being able to see the amount of discount at a glance when viewing specific packages. I honestly don't want to have to pull out the calculator each time to determine the discount. Do you have any plans in the future to add a discount field?

[Matt]

There are no plans for that at the current time but it would be possible to show the difference over the package default without too much trouble.

Would this be something that I would have access to do myself?
