My Feature Requests

[Steve]

I have spoken to you on Live Chat a couple of times, speaking about some feature requests. I have decided to post some of them here.

1. Mass Email Clients

2. Support NOCHEX Payments

3. Support 'invisible' 2checkout payments - the user enters their credit card details onto your site and then passes them onto 2checkout - is this even possible?

4. Allow users to upgrade/downgrade their hosting plan through their client login.

I think these features would make WHMCS more unique. :D

Mass emailing of clients has now been implemented. Next to the clients list, hosting accounts list and domains lists there are checkboxes allowing you to select a number of clients to send messages to at the same time. This allows you to pick out certain clients - for example all clients on a particular package by click on the column heading Package which will order by that column and then selecting all the clients checkboxes with the package you want.

Not only this, but once you've selected the clients and clicked Send Message to Selected Clients you can then load a pre-saved message for example if you want to write the message one day and send it another or if it is a message that will be sent out fairly frequently. You also have the option to save the message that you send for use again in the future.

As we discussed, NoChex is a difficult payment processor to implement as it doesn't support recurring payments but I will look into it.

As for invisible payments by 2CheckOut, as far as I'm aware this is not possible. There is a new thing with PayPal allowing you to do so called "invisible" transactions so the client never leaves your site but I'm not sure if this would work with recurring payments yet.

Finally, allowing clients to upgrade and downgrade their hosting plan can and will be implemented for a future version of WHMCompleteSolution

I don't think it would be to hard to implement NOCHEX. You can read up on NOCHEX's equivalent of IPN here (http://greenroom.nochex.com/showthread.php?t=4049). :)

The fact that NOCHEX doesn't support recurring payments isn't really a problem. You could have WHMCS email customers that are using NOCHEX as their payment method 7 days before their payment is due with a URL which they can visit to pay via NOCHEX. Once they have paid, the system will automatically update to show that they have paid. :)

What do you think?

FYI had a program written for a client and yes, it can support recurring payments. :)
