SindreM Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I am importing some eNom domains into my WHMCS and was thinking about the Due Date. How do you fellow WHMCS users handle this, do you set the Due Date = Expiration Date or do you set it a few days ahead? It is maybe safer to make sure the payment is received some days early and not risk the site being down because of delayed payment notifications from gateways, eNom renewal requests, etc.? My clients are mainly on PayPal subscriptions so the amount will be sent on the Due Date and domain automatically renewed upon payment notification. Just want some input from others that have some experience with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickendippers Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Due Date = Expiration date. This is how it is set when a new domain name is registered, I don't think there's a way to automatically make it different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SindreM Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Due Date = Expiration date. This is how it is set when a new domain name is registered, I don't think there's a way to automatically make it different. Well, under the Domains tab for each client you have the option to set two fields separately; Expiry Date and Next Due Date. I'm just wondering if its common practice to have the due date on the same day the domain expires. PayPal is known to process subscription payments 1-2 days late from time to time, which in theory could cause the domain to expire although the client has an active subscription. It would of course be renewed once the payment goes through, but nevertheless it can cause some downtime. If the client manually has to renew, it's no problem as they are self responsible for doing it in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickendippers Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 You'd have to manually set the due date different for each domain name, which would be an incredible amount of hassle! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 You'd have to manually set the due date different for each domain name, which would be an incredible amount of hassle! or a simple cron'd mysql statement the due-date is when they're next due to pay, which under ideal circumstances is the same as the expiry date, or a month earlier for those ccTLDs that require advance payment like .de etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
