Chris Poulter Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi all, I've looked through the WHMCS itself, the various forums and wiki's etc and I'm pretty sure theres nowhere for the client to change their billing cycle. Has anyone come up with a good solution to allow clients to change their billing cycle from within their control panel/client area? All the best, Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted December 1, 2009 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted December 1, 2009 Client's can only change their billing cycle when upgrading/downgrading to another package. There isn't a way to remain on the same package and change the cycle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi John, Is there any possibility that this can be implemented in the future? We find it very common that customers will initially sign-up for monthly billing, and later choose to upgrade to annual billing when they feel confident about the services they receive. This would conveniently place the process within the realm of the customer vs. WHMCS admin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehost5968 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi Why do you not just put a button within the clientarea that links to a support ticket for this to be done or email or add to the admin notes in the database and show a message saying this will take effect within 24 hour? as you know clients will do this then change there mid or say they did not do it. but if this will not be a option but standard 1 not for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricect Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I think this is a must add on. I have a couple of clients that want to change billing cylces. I shouldn't have to do this for them. Their client area should be self-sufficient. My vote is to add immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othellotech Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I have a couple of clients that want to change billing cylces You want a system that allows people to sign up and pay for a year, and then decide to go "monthly" and get 11/12ths of the payment refunded ? i.e. you want the *client* to decide (with no reference back to you) how often they ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

othellotech Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 you know what, it's not even easy as an admin to do it... simplest method ... click the drop-down list, change monthly to annual tick the box "recalculate on save" click save job done ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtk Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 simplest method ...click the drop-down list, change monthly to annual tick the box "recalculate on save" click save job done ! yeah, but when the client does it, it leaves a trail of the action (aka an order). and moreover, you cannot tell the client the amount he will have to pay, until after the invoice was created... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNodashi Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 You want a system that allows people to sign up and pay for a year, and then decide to go "monthly" and get 11/12ths of the payment refunded ? i.e. you want the *client* to decide (with no reference back to you) how often they ? You say this in such a way that the client is bound to his initial order and can't change anything unless he cancels. Wow, talk about super-client-control. Why can't the client choose whether wants to pay monthly or yearly, when he chooses todo so? With the recession many clients decided to go on a monthly payment rather than yearly. Do you know how much extra work our accounts had to put in to make this happen? And then you can't just give the client 5 month's credit if the changes on any other day except for the 1st / 31st of the month. On a large order, the client will (and have) complain about the money you steal cause you didn't properly calculate the correct credit to the day. Heck, when he upgrades he's forced to pay prorated for the upgrade. I think it would be much easier for everyone (less admin work, easier for client to manage) if clients could choose their own billing terms. And, as a suggestion, add an option where one could charge an "X" conversion fee if they make changes more than "X" amount of times. i.e. if the clients changes his billing terms more than 5 times a year, charge him $10 for it. This will help with the abuse you think could happen, and should be clearly stated before hand, not added without the client's knowledge afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numPhoenix Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I have a product which is billed monthly but when you upgrade it charges prorata. The product is charged monthly in advance and all future invoices are set to the 1st . So if you sign up on the 2nd or 28 th you pay the same price. How do I set this up. Month 1 sign up 15th due 15th next bill on the 1st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
