Add hourly calculation of services

[richestman]

Adding hourly calculation of services to WHMCS (Web Hosting Manager Complete Solution) is a great way to support more flexible billing, especially for cloud or usage-based services. WHMCS natively supports monthly and other fixed-cycle billing, but hourly billing requires customization.

Hello,

To enable hourly billing in WHMCS, you can use the billable items feature, set up products with hourly pricing, or integrate third-party modules.

Thanks!

hey i do not want to use third party modules
third party modules have security risk.

Hi @richestman,

With our Usage Billing feature, you can collect usage data as frequently as daily, and then issue an invoice at the end of the billing cycle (eg. monthly) for the usage consumed during that period.

This way you can collect the usage for the past day from your cloud system and then issue an invoice at the end of the month for the resourses consumed.

This is how the post-paid billing element works in the official SolusVM 2.0 module, enabling you to sell cloud and virtualised services and bill for hourly usage: https://marketplace.whmcs.com/product/6416-solusvm-20-whmcs-addon
