Question about setting up FREE promotion code

[kmdguy]

Hi there,

 

I'm still new to WHMCS but I'm liking it so far and it's working well for what I need.

 

I want to set up a promotion code where the user gets free service from us because they were sent over from a strategic partner. As long as they are a customer with our strategic partner they will receive free service from us. If they leave our strategic partner, then I want the ability to remove the promotional discount from their account so they begin being billed each month.

 

I've set up a promotion code with 100% discount and then I ran through the sign up process and input the code. It works fine, but since it is a 100% discount, the signup process skips the part that asks for credit card information (figuring it doesn't need it I guess). If I change the discount to 99%, then I am presented with the credit card information page.

 

I want to be able to capture the CC information so if we ever need to start billing them we can do so. Is there a way to provide 100% discount promotion AND still capture the credit card information when they sign up?

I have almost the same issue. I want to give a new client a free month of service, but WHMCS does not ask for a CC# so the new client can be billed the following month. It also does not set up the account on the server.

These are my current settings:

Type: Percentage

Recurring: not checked

Value: 100.00

Cycles: monthly

Applies to: All hosting packages

Expiration date: blank

Max users: 0 (unlimited)

Apply once: checked

New Sign ups: checked

Apply Once / Client: checked

Existing client: not checked

 

Can anyone shed some light on a possible solution?

 

Thanks in advance...
