Domain expiration before autorenewal

[dsaunier]

Hi,

I'd like to check who would have the same context as me and if there is a better way to configure my WHMCS for this :

Several of our clients have an automated renewal option chosen by credit card or bank transfer (initiated by us ie SEPA) so they have nothing to do to keep the services.

Those payments are processed in the last day of the month though, and some domains expire at the registrar before that, hence if we do nothing the domain can be expired/suspended before the automated payment confirming the renewal is processed and therefore automatically renews the name at the registrar.

Right now we just suspend the registrar API with the domain, renew it manually so it continues working, and once the payment arrives we reconnect the registrar API so that the name is not renewed once more for free.

Any better way to do that ?

Thanks for your attention.

In WHMCS take advantage of the due and expiry dates being possibly different values :)

 

Set the "next due" to be the month-end of the previous month that they expire in

ie If domain actually expires 13/Feb, set next-due to 31/Jan so it processes with the January payment
