Is there a way to bill for services (ie- design fees)

[schwim]

Hi there guys,

I'm just wondering:

Would it be possible to use WHMCS to bill for design time? For instance, a client has us customize a shopping cart template, and we log our hours and it comes out to 5 hours at $30 an hour.

Could I use WHMCS to do this? If so, what would be the most logical(and clean) way to do this?

Would I just create an item with each client's amount that is selected NOT to show up on the order page? Does that mean I have to keep that item in selection indefinately so it will stay in their products/services page?

thanks,

Hey,

Create an invoices for $150 (5hours x $30 hour). Thats it really.

Thanks very much for the reply Adam.

Do I have to keep the product in the products/services listing to keep from messing up the listings in their client section? For instance if they pay, then I remove that product, will it cause a problem with their tracking of their payments?

I guess I could just create $30x1, $30x2, $30x3 etc.. and just use them as they are needed.

thanks again for replying,

Hey,

You don't even need to make a product. Just create an account with them and make an invoice for them.

I guess you could great product and make it a general name, like "Web Design Services" but don't add any price option to it as it differs from client to client. Don't also make it free but just a value of zero.

But just go to the clients profile > invoices > make an invoice and your good to go.

That is a great idea for creating invoices for web design or really any other service. Anyone know if you can use bluepay to have the client pay for that invoice?

Yes, you can have the client pay the invoice with any gateway WHMCS supports.
