Additional Mailbox Billing Option


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Sometimes you just can't find something on a search, so here is my question.

 

I sell a hosting package, lets say it comes with 10 mailboxes, I want to have an addon option to allow the user to add the 11th mailbox, of course to also bill it residual. Not sure how to go about doing that. I did create an addon item for it, made 3 of the same item because of Monthly, quarterly or annual but not to happy with how I did that, but then I don't know how to associate that with a mailbox so that A it allows the user to add another mailbox and B if maybe it can figure out billing based on the hosting account cycle.

 

Any help or reference is appreciated!

one option might be to use a configurable option for the number of mailboxes, and give it a minimum/maximum range, e.g 1->100, or 10->20 etc

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Addons_and_Configurable_Options

 

let's say its 10->20, and you price each mailbox at $1, you may need to reduce your base price by $10 to keep it at the same final price (as the cost of those 10 mailboxes will be added to the price)... also, if/when a client decides to upgrade from 10 to 11 mailboxes, they can just upgrade the configurable options via the client area and be invoiced accordingly...

and if you wanted the option of provisioning the change automatically, you could take a look at the WHMCS Configurable Package Addon.

So the issue I see with this is that we may have several prices for different packages and if a client see's they are getting billed $10 for email boxes they don't use they will ask for a discount.

Any other options?

I would think this is a common thing.

 

Thanks!
