2checkout recurring billing!

[NightMan]

I know the whmcs cannot handle the recurring billing from 2checkout since there are no callback.

 

I have more than 500 recurring billing process active and billed annuelly at the moment.

 

I am planning to use the whmcs, but need to make sure I can use it someway to manage my billings.

I wish to have following process possible with whcms:

 

1. sending a 1st time recurring invoice for a product already created at 2checkout. if it is not possible then sending a 1st time invoice dynamically created from the whmcs.

 

2. for next payment cycle, the whmcs create an invoice but not sending it for payment. but pending for the payment to be received from 2checkout recurring system. when this happens, I will mark the invoice as paid and will send a invoice mail/pdf invoice to the client.

 

I just wanted to know if this is possible, before I decide to use the whcms.

 

Thank you!

If you were to switch to WHMCS, it would generate an invoice for your customer each time they were due to pay. For your existing customers, you would then be able to mark this invoice paid from the admin area when the 2CheckOut Recurring Payment occurs and you receive email notification about it. For any new orders, the users would need to login and pay their invoice each month - when this happens, WHMCS marks the invoice paid automatically for you.

what I need is, I wish to use the 2checkout recurring payment, since they are very effective. they have the client CC details stored, so the client do not need to fill those information again.

is there any way I can prevent the auto invoices not been send out? but only waiting for marked as paid by me?

Hi,

 

The only way you could do this is if you didn't use the cron job to generate invoices but instead used the button to generate invoices on the admin homepage. When you click this you are asked if you want to email them or not - you could simply click no.

OK. That would be fine. Anyway even if I use the cron, is there an option to disable the invoices been sent out. but only get them generated?

[Matt]

No, it's not possible using the cron job. They are emailed out to clients when generated.

ok. would be nice a disable/enable option for sending invoices out.. but it is ok to create the invoices manually.

 

Thank you. will test the demo system. how do I get a refugee discount? I am having CE installed at the moment.

[Matt]

If you have an owned license of a competing product, just send proof of ownership such as a purchase receipt to info@whmcs.com for the discount.

Matt, I just have sent the details for the discount.

 

Thank you!

Hi,

 

I also want to switch to WHMCS, however before I do this, I need the auto-sending of invoices to the client’s to be disabled and ,when the invoices are marked paid ,then only send the invoices to the clients stating that it has been paid.

 

Thanks.

If you don't use the cron to generate invoices then you could do this from the admin homepage. When clicking the button to generate invoices on the admin home you get asked if you want to email them to customers.

[NightMan]

yes, it still be good for a option for not sending invoices out but generating only.

the issue is some companies only send invoices after the payment been made, some others do before the payment been made. but I do not want to send the invoices for diffrent reason. this is related to 2checkout recurring billing.

 

This what I wish to do with the invoice/billing.

 

1) I wish to have the invoice created by cron, but not mailed to the clients.

2) generated invoices should not have a paynow button, but rather a update CC info. button.

3) I manually mark the invoices as paid, after I receive the recurring payment notification from 2CO. the invoice will be send to the client as well with the status paid.

 

Matt, how do see it? will it be difficult to implement or any other workaround? I am sure some other 2co recurring clients will also like it.

Setup a custom client field and put the recurring number in that

 

setup their next due date to 00/00/000

 

click not to auto suspend for that account

 

monitor your 2checkout failed to bill emails each day

 

advise clients no invoices unless billing fails, if it fails

 

search whmcs for the 2co number

 

untick auto suspend, change 00/00/0000 to the correct due date, an invoice goes out, if they don't pay it suspends

 

much easier to track those who don't pay than those who do

 

best to you
