Installation

In this tutorial, we will show you how to successfully install and manage Advanced Billing For WHMCS. We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process.

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.

2. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory. The content of the package to upload should look like this.

3. When you install Advanced Billing For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file. File is located in 'modules/addons/AdvancedBilling4/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

4. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit a previously renamed 'license.php' file. Enter your license key between the quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in our client area → 'My Products'.

5. Now you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system. Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Click 'System Settings' , then choose 'Addon Modules'. Afterward, find 'Advanced Billing' and press the 'Activate' button.

6. In the next step, you need to permit access to this module. To do so, click on the 'Configure' button, tick the desired admin roles, and press 'Save Changes'.

7. The last step is setting up a cron job. You can find it following the path: WHMCS → 'Addons' → 'Advanced Billing' → 'Settings' page. The cron can be customized with the following options: Cron Memory Limit - limit how much memory the cron can use (in megabytes). If exceeded, the cron will restart. Leave empty or set to 0' to disable the limit. Cron Threads - toggle to enable cron threading. Threads Limit - limit the number of threads for the above function. Thread Accounts - limit the number of accounts per thread Clear Logs - toggle to have the cron clear logs. Clear After [days] - enter how old the logs have to be to be subject to clearing (in days). The default is 365 days.

Configuration and Management

Advanced Billing For WHMCS is a module that allows you to set up flexible billing models based on your client's actual usage of resources like bandwidth and CPU. Refer to the manual below to learn how to configure the module and make full use of its extensive features.

Products

To enable Advanced Billing For WHMCS features for a product, navigate to 'Addons' → 'Advanced Billing' → 'Products' and click on the 'Add Product' button. Select your product from the dropdown list.

Once your products are added use the action buttons to: Set Pricing Configure Settings Show Related Items Delete Product from the List

Pricing

Set pricing for each usage record for a product. The pricing list includes information on each usage record: Name Unit Billing Status Extended Pricing Click on the 'Edit' button to set up billing for a usage record.

Under the general tab you can: Enable or Disable Billing for the Record Select Billing Type Last - calculates the total based on the most recent reading only. Summary - sums all collected records and bills based on the cumulative amount. Hourly - averages hourly readings and bills according to that average. Select Unit

The pricing tab is where you set: Price - the value per unit that clients will be billed with. Free Usage Amount - the number of set units that, when exceeded, will enable billing.

Settings

The 'Settings' action will take you to the configuration window where you can adjust various features for the product.

Product Settings

Set general product settings related to summaries, cron frequency and client area integration. Cron Frequency - define how often the cron will run for the product. Use seconds as the unit. Summary Calculation Method - choose how summaries are calculated: Total Sum Total Average (Hourly only) Client Area Integration - toggle to enable client area integration for the product, this option does not add features on its own but is a requisite for other functions to be displayed in the client area.

Module Settings

Configure product module-specific settings such as: cPanel Extended Application Manager cPanel Theme Proxmox VE Cloud VPS Free IPv4 Addresses Free IPv6 Addresses OpenStack OpenStack Timezone Local Timezone and more.

Credit Billing

Credit Billing allows your clients to be charged with their credits instead of the standard methods. Note: This function is separate from the WHMCS 'Credit Balance'. Enable the functionality with the 'Enable Credit Billing' toggle and configure the details: Create Invoice Every - dictates how often invoices are generated for the product. Minimum Credit - the minimum amount that will be charged from the client account credit balance. Low Credit Notification - if this value is higher than the credits on the client's account, an email will be sent to your client regarding the low credit amount. Email Interval - defines how often low credit notification email will be sent, the interval refers to the number of days. Autosuspend - when the credit balance reaches 0, the product ordered by the client is automatically suspended and an invoice reminding of the lacking amount will be generated. Note: This function also takes account of the ''Override Auto-Suspend' feature. Due Date - determines how many days after the invoice is generated the payment is due. Use Client Credits - if enabled, the invoices can be paid with the client credits. If disabled, the default payment method will be used.

Fixed Pricing

Fixed Billing charges clients a set amount after a specified number of hours of active service usage. This feature lets you define a fixed price per product, billed automatically once the usage threshold is reached. Auto Apply Credits - enable to automatically apply user credits if available. Tax - if enabled, the tax will be added to the created invoice. Hours - define a number of hours that must pass before the service is billed at a monthly rate. Due Date - define payment due date. Currency - set the pricing amount in any currency to bill clients after a declared number of hours has passed.

Prepaid Billing

Prepaid Billing enables charging clients directly from their prepaid credit balance. It also provides summary billing, combining charges into a single summary instead of generating separate invoices. Summation Interval (Days) - define how often summations should be generated. Minimum Credit - determine the minimum amount that will be charged from the client's account. Low Credit Notification - define the credit balance low point when an email notification will be sent. Email Interval - set interval for email notifications, measured in days. Autosuspend - suspend the account automatically if the user does not have sufficient funds. Due Date - number of days between the invoice being generated and due date.

The client area will include the summations and a way for the client to top up his credit balance. After the client indicates the amount of credits to be added to his account, an invoice will be generated for it. Only after the invoice is paid, will the client receive the credits.

Recurring Billing

Recurring Billing automatically charges clients on a regular schedule for their products. This feature simplifies ongoing payments by setting up recurring billing cycles. Invoice on Termination - when the account connected with your module is terminated, an invoice for the account will be generated. Billing Type - enables you to choose how to bill your client. Bill On Invoice Generated - new items will appear on the renewal invoice for the hosting account just as it is generated by WHMCS. Bill On Specific Day - generates invoices each month on the day specified in the 'Billing Type Value'. Bill Every X Days - generates an invoice each X days where X is the number specified in the 'Billing Type Value' field. Due Date - the number of days in which your customers will have to pay the invoice. Auto Generate Invoice - if enabled, the invoices are automatically generated and sent directly to your customers. Auto Apply Credits - automatically applies any available credits when an invoice is created. Works only if the 'Auto Generate Invoice' option is enabled. Show Advanced Billing Information - this will replace any 'Billing Cycle' with 'Hourly Billing' on the product management page in the client area. Apply Group Discount - enable if you want to apply the discount to the invoice set in the client group.

Notifications

Notifications allow clients to set up email reminders that are sent when their resource usage reaches or exceeds specified limits. This feature helps clients stay informed about their usage and avoid unexpected charges. Reminder Limit - limit how many reminders a client can create. Email Template - email template that will be used.

The predefined 'Advanced Billing Resource Usage Reminder' features variables that you can also use in your own templates: {$reminder_name} - the name of a reminder set by a client. {$type} - the resource type for which the limit has been set by a client. E. g. 'Storage' , 'Bandwidth' etc. {$usage} - the current recorded usage value of the resource type the limit is set for. {$limit} - the limit value defined by a client whose reaching or exceeding results in sending the notification. {$unit} - the unit of the billed record. E.g. 'MB' , 'GB' etc.

Once the function is enable clients will see the 'Reminders' table where they can add and manage their notifications. To add a new notification click on the 'Add Reminder' button.

Provide the following: Name - name your reminder, it is used in the default notification template. Checks Frequency - how often a resource check is performed, in hours. Reminders Frequency - limits how often a reminder can be sent, in hours.

Once the reminder is added, it can be managed using the action buttons: Edit Reminder Define Limits Delete

While defining the limits, you can scroll the list of resources horizontally. The fields for each include: Used - current recorded usage of the given resource. Operator - logical operator used for the argument. Value - the value for the logical operation. For example, we can set the reminder to be sent after the bandwidth is 'is more' than 20000MB, as shown on the screen below.

Make sure to enable the reminder after the limits are defined for it.

Usage Records

Usage Records displays clients' resource usage data and usage history directly on the product page in the client area. This feature allows clients to easily track their resource consumption over time. Display Summary From - defines the period for which usage records will be counted. Usage Records Precision - the number of decimal digits indicating the precision of usage records. Records History - displays history of usage records. Display Usage Records Pricing - displays usage record pricing for the product during the order process.

Enabling the extension will display the current usage in the client area. Enabling the 'Records History' function will also display usage from previous periods.

The 'Display Usage Records Pricing' will display the pricing table when clients prepare thier order.

Free Limit

Important: This function is not yet implemented in the 4.0.0 beta release. Free Limit allows you to set free usage limits for a product based on its Configurable Options. This feature enables precise control over complimentary usage thresholds before charges apply.

Graphs

Graphs provide a graphical display of usage records for each configured service. This feature helps visualize resource consumption trends over time. Use the 'Show Enabled Records Only' option to hide records with no pricing enabled.

With the functionality enabled, clients will find a graph of their usage displayed in the client area. They will be able to change the graph's scope and resources displayed.

Product Auto Upgrade

Product Auto Upgrade automatically upgrades or downgrades products based on resource usage, following the rules you set. Clients can choose whether to allow automatic adjustments and can even configure their own rules for product resizing. After enabling the function, take a look at the Product Auto Upgrade Management section to prepare the options.

Depending on the settings, clients will be able to: Enable/disable automatic upgrades for their product. Set a minimum time interval that has to pass between upgrades. Include/exclude certain upgrade options. See and/or change upgrade conditions. See their upgrade history. Set upgrade notifications based on resource usage.

Customizing language files is now extremely easy with the "Translations" tool that is now available directly in the addon. Its user-friendly design makes managing various language file tweaks a smooth and efficient process. Prepare translations for the original English files with this handy built-in tool. For specific instructions on how to use this tool please refer to its dedicated article, you will find it here.

Access Control

'Access Control' allows you to specify and control exactly which sections of the module can be accessed by your administrators. The way it works is that you create access control rules in which you decide if a specific admin, or admin role has full access, or is restricted to only specific sections.

Rules

Start with creating a new rule, click on the 'Create Rule' button and a dedicated form will appear. Below you will find a description of every field required in the form.

Fill out the following fields to create resources access rule: Rule Name - Pick a name for your rule. Grant Full Access - Enable to grant full access to all sections of the module to the specified personnel. Disable to specify in two additional fields below, to which resources access will be granted, and to which it will be denied. Allow Access To - Designate the resources that the specified personnel will have access to. Restrict Access To - Specify the resources that the specified personnel will not have access to. Administrators - Specify which singular administrators will be subject to the new rule. If the specific administrator is already included in the group you have picked, you do not need to add him separately. Note: All restrictions for specific administrators are summed with the restrictions on their role groups, across all rules. Administrator Roles - Specify which administrator role groups will be subject to the new rule. Important: When picking specific sections, keep in mind that allowing a parent section will also allow all of its children. For example by allowing 'Access Control' you allow every section of it If you would like to give access to everything about Access Control, but the ability to delete logs, you can pick 'Access Control' in 'Allow Access To' and then 'Access Control → Logs → Delete' in 'Restrict Access To.' Restrict takes precedence over Allow, so if a specific section is included in both, it will be restricted.

To edit or delete existing rules, use the icons to the right.

Resources

Use the toggles in the 'Resources' section to specify which of them should be subject to logging, found in the 'Logs' section. Every time an administrator requests a toggled resource, it will be recorded.

Access Control Logs

The logs section includes: Log ID Name of the administrator Requested resource Applied Resource Rule Name Date Use the trash bin icons to delete specific logs, or utilize the mass action function to delete multiple logs at once.

Logs

The 'Logs' section under 'Other' is where the module logs are stored. You can filter the module logs by type with the 'Show' buttons: Error Info Both (Total)

You can delete logs either one by one or with the mass function.

additional actions include: Logging Settings Log Export Rule Based Deletion

In the settings you may decide: Log Types - which type of logs should be recorded. Clear automatically - if you would like to automatically delete logs older than defined number of days. Delete Logs Older Than - how many days should pass before logs are automatically deleted.

While exporting you will have to specify which logs to export: From To Log Types

You may also delete specific logs without finding them manually. Simply define: Log Types Delete Logs Older Than
