Disable automatic invoicing

[agprime]

Hey,

I am pretty new with WHMCS. I want to use it only for customer care, order organizer, not for invoicing. I have my business in Romania, and it's pretty ugly with invoicing directly with WHMCS.

 

I would like my clients to be able to perform the order, see the order final value and finish the order. After that, I will manually check the order status, generate a invoice based on his order, and send it to it's email address. After that all billing will be done manually.

 

How can I achieve this? Simply, I would just like to not confuse the user and just not generate automatic invoice.

 

Thanks

Practically I want to use whmcs as a client management tool, and do the invoicing separately, they should be able to create an account, and I will manually invoice the separately. Is this so hard to achieve ?

Just remove the cron jobs.

Do not run the automated cron job, but I think what you really want is in the Configuration section under Ordering, choose the option "Select to not automatically redirect and just show the order completed page"

Just remove the cron jobs.

 

But the invoice is still generated, I don't want to confuse the client with any invoice. After he orders a package he sees:

 

Order Confirmation

 

Thank you for your order. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.

 

Your Order Number is: 3046891427

 

If you have any questions about your order, please open a support ticket from your client area and quote your order number.

 

Attention! Your order has been completed but you have not yet paid for it so it will not be activated.

Click on the link below to go to your invoice to make payment.

 

Invoice #4

 

And he's got unpaid invoices in his account too!

 

I see that if I manually create a new order, I can check to not automatically generate invoice, can't I just check that to be default for all orders? (including those completed by clients)

You create a quote then. Apart from that you can also change the wording of the invoices, you can also create your own email templates that are sent out upon orders being placed etc, you can also change the wording for a large number of things through the Language files.

For example I had to change my "Invoices" name to "Tax Invoice" my countries tax legislation. (Which in my opinion is stupid because we have to make Cash Sale dockets also read "Cash Sale Tax Invoice).
