How would you bill domains?

    Hey,

    I have a case I need advice on:

    I invoice my customers twice a year (jan 1st and July 1st) for web hosting, email etc).
    This is OK.

    But, most of the customers also have domains that have expiration dates apart from these dates. For instance - a domain expires in october, and I would like to bill it for a year 30 days before it expires.

    Now, the question is: How do I manage correct Expiry dates with this scenario?

    I would like Optigold to keep track of when a customer is due to have the domain billed, but at the same time have the normal billing cycle going for webhosting and email. Does this make any sense?

    Advice apprectiated... :)

    You could use the Domain Manager (on the main menu) to do it...

    OK, but this doesn't work if you have linked services to billing cycles.

    Is the domain manager a replacement for billing cycles in regards to domains?

    Thanx for your patience... :)

    OK, but the drawback on this is that invoices based on domains (generated via Domain Manager) will not show up in Past due overview.

    I understand this is because the account as such has an expiration date that is due later in the year.

    But, how do I show a list of all invoices that are past due (based on due date on the invoice)?

    Did you work out away do this?

    We are trying to work how best to bill domains. We need to bill the domain 30 days in advance and want to be able to see who has not paid to cancel their domain. All customers have a monthly billing cycle and some also have Slave accounts.

    Help please...
