36 and 48 month billing cycle

[sammybotz]

i have allot of customers who like to bill long term since i had most of my customers over 7 years. will there ever be an option for longer billing cycles than 2 years?

is it being considered? if so approximately when?


thanks very much

You'd need to use billable items to offer a billing cycle longer than 3 years for the time being.

Yes I'm all for this too nice seggestion but will do use billable items like john suggested for now.

Is there any way to customise WHMCS to include billing cycles longer then 3 years?

I'm unable to find this as a template, database field, enum or otherwise.

These exist in the language file but appear to be hardcoded and very static.

$_LANG["orderpaymentterm12month"] = "12 Month Price";
$_LANG["orderpaymentterm1month"] = "1 Month Price";
$_LANG["orderpaymentterm24month"] = "24 Month Price";
$_LANG["orderpaymentterm3month"] = "3 Month Price";
$_LANG["orderpaymentterm6month"] = "6 Month Price";
$_LANG["orderpaymenttermannually"] = "Annually";
$_LANG["orderpaymenttermbiennially"] = "Biennially";
$_LANG["orderpaymenttermfreeaccount"] = "Free Account";
$_LANG["orderpaymenttermmonthly"] = "Monthly";
$_LANG["orderpaymenttermonetime"] = "One Time";
$_LANG["orderpaymenttermquarterly"] = "Quarterly";
$_LANG["orderpaymenttermsemiannually"] = "Semi-Annually";

hmmm the admin language file doesn't share the same terms, and again appears to be hardcoded.

# Billing Cycles
$_ADMINLANG['billingcycles']['free'] = "Free";
$_ADMINLANG['billingcycles']['onetime'] = "One Time";
$_ADMINLANG['billingcycles']['monthly'] = "Monthly";
$_ADMINLANG['billingcycles']['quarterly'] = "Quarterly";
$_ADMINLANG['billingcycles']['semiannually'] = "Semi-Annually";
$_ADMINLANG['billingcycles']['annually'] = "Annually";
$_ADMINLANG['billingcycles']['biennially'] = "Biennially";
$_ADMINLANG['billingcycles']['triennially'] = "Triennially";

It appears by how this has been coded that it would be imposible to include longer terms without access to the raw source code. Correct? Any plans to update this to use templates or database which can be customised?

It would be great to have different and more variety of billing cycles. If it can be customised, that would be much better.

I was thinking of 5 year, 10 year cycles as well. It will work for a lot of my clients.
