Setting default payment term

[Jack-PNH]

We currently have monthly, annually, and biannual pricing configured.

 

We would like to know how to make the annual pricing be the default term, unless a customer changes it during checkout.

 

Thank you,

jack

I also want this, I have ran into many occasions where people sign up for monthly because they are not "web savvy."

 

Is there a place to set it, or can it be a future feature?

[jozeph]

Very simple and nice feature and I would like to see it in WHMCS too.

its just a change in your .tpl ...

[solokron]

Is there anything new on this front?

[optize]

Any update?

You can do it in a direct product link from your site, for example:

 

/cart.php?a=add&pid=X&billingcycle=annually

 

Or you can add the &billingcycle=annually suffix to your active order template products.tpl default product links. Where annual is passed and not available, it will just continue as it is now selecting the lowest available cycle so won't cause any problems.

Can I have some more depth info on setting annual as default?

The shortest billing cycle will be the default , but you can define which cycle you use using the technique Matt mentioned - there's nothing more to it.

adding "&billingcycle=annually" doesn't seem to work for me .. still shows as monthly ..

Paste the full URL you're using so we can take a look.

Matt, John,

 

Did you guys know what using the "billingcycle=annually" option on a direct shopping cart link doesn't actually work? It still defaults back to monthly.

 

Neither does the "sld" & "tld" options work.

 

Here's the link: https://billing.softdux.com/order/?pid=35&skip=1&billingcycle=annually&sld=anewdomain&tld=.com

 

Look @ the attached screenshot

I have the same problem with ajax cart.

How can I make a default payment term?

 

I want the default be the annual, not the monthly

I have the same problem with currency and billingcycle.

[aris8194]

adding &billingcycle=annually in the URL will not work. Even though the variable might be set during the first request in the index file it doesn't carry through to the subsequent AJAX requests. The easiest way to "fix" this problem is to open the index.php file (whmcs_folder/order/index.php), find the line:

$billingcycle = $_REQUEST['billingcycle'];

and change it to

$billingcycle = 'annually';

This way all requests made to the index page will have the $billingcycle variable set to annually.

FYI:

 

In products.tpl find:

 

<select name="billingcycle">
{if $product.pricing.monthly}<option value="monthly">{$product.pricing.monthly}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.quarterly}<option value="quarterly">{$product.pricing.quarterly}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.semiannually}<option value="semiannually">{$product.pricing.semiannually}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.annually}<option value="annually">{$product.pricing.annually}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.biennially}<option value="biennially">{$product.pricing.biennially}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.triennially}<option value="triennially">{$product.pricing.triennially}</option>{/if}
</select>

 

and edit it to:

 

<select name="billingcycle">
{if $product.pricing.monthly}<option value="monthly">{$product.pricing.monthly}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.quarterly}<option value="quarterly">{$product.pricing.quarterly}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.semiannually}<option value="semiannually">{$product.pricing.semiannually}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.annually}<option selected="selected" value="annually">{$product.pricing.annually}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.biennially}<option value="biennially">{$product.pricing.biennially}</option>{/if}
{if $product.pricing.triennially}<option value="triennially">{$product.pricing.triennially}</option>{/if}
</select>

 

In other words just add

selected="selected"

in the option you want selected by default.

 

Peace

anyone have an idea how to do the same thing with the new modern theme since the coding seems a bit different?

 

<span class="pricing">{$product.pricing.minprice.price}</span><br />
{if $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "monthly"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermmonthly}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "quarterly"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermquarterly}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "semiannually"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermsemiannually}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "annually"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermannually}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "biennially"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermbiennially}
{elseif $product.pricing.minprice.cycle eq "triennially"}
{$LANG.orderpaymenttermtriennially}
{/if}

Not sure if it's too old to post here but I'm trying to do this as well and the option posted above is not there. I found this in my order.tpl

  <h4>Choose Payment Term</h4>
                        <select name="billingcycle" class="form-control">
                            {foreach $product->pricing()->allAvailableCycles() as $pricing}
                                <option value="{$pricing->cycle()}"{if $requestedCycle == $pricing->cycle()} selected{/if}>
                                    {if $pricing->isYearly()}
                                        {$pricing->cycleInYears()} - {$pricing->yearlyPrice()}
                                    {else}
                                        {$pricing->cycleInMonths()} - {$pricing->monthlyPrice()}
                                    {/if}
                                </option>
                            {/foreach}
                        </select>

 

I changed {$pricing->cycleInMonths()} - {$pricing->monthlyPrice()} to  {$pricing->cycleInYears()} - {$pricing->yearlyPrice()} but no go.

Also the &billingcycle=annually works on hosting and reseller plans but not on VPS or Dedicated. Basically if you don't choose a domain it doesn't work.

I would love to delete this post lol. The issue was the code &billingcycle=annually was &billingcycle=Annually I copied it from the price page in the admin. ;\
