To set the auto billing configurations:
Click the Billing System menu
Click the Configure Billing submenu under the Advanced Options
Tick the enable billing check box, and click the Next button
Click the Next button on Activate Gateways page
Under the General Setting, configure the following auto billing options as required:
Billing Type:
Select the auto billing type for the panel. The billing can be prorated or non-prorated.
Non Prorated Billing:
When Non Prorated Billing is set, recurring billing is done on the date of signup. This means that if a customer has signed-up a $5/month plan on May 14th then the next billing will be on June 14th.
Prorated billing:
Prorated Billing is a common billing method in hosting industry. When enabled, billing system will charge a complete month and then first recurring will be prorated.
Example: (check if required to put here in quick help or not)
Consider following example:
Hosting Plan: $10/month
Billing Day: 2nd of month
Signup Date: 15 May
New account will be charged $10 for 15May-15June. On 15 June user will be charged $5 for 15June-2July (prorated) and onward billing will be from 2nd to 2nd each month.
Billing Precision:
Here select the billing precision for the billing. This billing precision will be used throughout the billing transactions.
NOTE:
In economics, the amount coming before the decimal point is called precision (unlike normal mathematics’ conventions, where precision is the term coming after the decimal points), and the amount coming after the digit is called scale. Here by precision it means the normal mathematics convention, which is the amount that will come after the decimal point.
Activation Time:
The billing system is activated once in a day to generate invoices, perform credit card charging, send reminder/alerts, suspend unpaid accounts, etc. You can set here the time for billing activation.
Maximum Attempts:
Some gateways charge extra for each declined transaction, so you can set here the maximum number of attempts that should be made to charge the credit card. If you set '3' here then billing system will attempt to charge three times in three days. That is one try in each 24 hours. After three unsuccessful attempts it will turn off Auto Billing for this specific user.
Auto Bill to all Clients:
To auto bill all the clients tick the YES check box.
Auto Bill to selected list of Clients:
To auto bill selected user(s), tick the check box against the login name of that user(s).
