wizzy420 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I'm going to apologize here because I think I'm just having a brain fart and what I'm asking is probably quite obvious. I want a one-time type of product which a customer buys, pays for, and then it falls off into the background noise. Now I have a product which is "consulting" time. A customer needs something beyond the basics and may pay $XX dollars. The problem is then this thing becomes a persistent product like "you've bought this, it's is yours. I'm going to stay here and stare you in the face forever" It clutters up the products page, etc ... if over time a customer buys an hour here, a couple hours there, etc. they all just pile up like products purchased. I'm looking for some sort of way to automatically purchase a thing, that costs money, and is accounted for, but after purchasing while it's still "there" is less obvious than a product which feels like a tangible persistent thing (hosting, account upgrade, etc.) Does that make sense? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted December 3, 2009 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted December 3, 2009 You could create one product, then have the client order addons for consulting time? Addons are less intrusive as they're displayed on the product details page, and not on the main product page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizzy420 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 We simply have a cron job that deletes them from tblhosting once the invoice is paid How complex is that? Single query easy like: delete from tblhosting where productid="matchme" and ispaid="y" ?? I'll poke around the tblhosting table. As can be expected, hand tweaking the database lightly scares me. I'm sure you have put in time and understanding to make sure what you are doing is functional and safe, my concern is me doing it without knowing all implications 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
