does Direct Admin come with Billing Features so customers can pay billing directly with the system?

I haven't found any information on this.

Can someone confirm?

Also, anyone can recommend me other control panels that have this type of feature built in?

Currently, I'm setting up all accounts by hand through httpd.conf and its a bit too time consuming.

And I want to start billing my customers by online credit card processing automatically so I am looking into some cheap solution for this.

However, I really don't like the idea of paying per month, are there any controlpanel w/ billing that is just one time setup fee?

DA does not have that afaik. However you can use addons to control panels to manage billing and automatic account creation. There is the famous autopilot for WHM. Search for Directadmin forums for similar products, DA is a great cp and it has suitable payment options.

Both whois.cart and clientexec intergrate nicely with Direct Admin.

what do you mean by it integrate nicely?

because right now, we do use DA. and when we use DA, there is no billing feature. Just add user, and thats it.

But if I want to integrate clientexec on it, do they run separately?

Like, for example, if I decide to add a user, do I have to add a user from Direct Admin, as well as for clientexec? or do they integrate all like simultaneously? like setup accounts as well as accept billing?

We use AWBS for billing, which has a DA plugin that uses DA's api to create/suspend/etc. accounts through AWBS directly.

Clientexec has this feature also I think.

Whoiscart + DA works for me, auto create, auto suspend, auto delete.

DA+Modernbill work great. Although we manually create each account after fraud verification. :D.

It is all simultaneous.

Hi,

We use AWBS with there anti fraud addon. We still screen orders but at least it allows clients to get going. I have not tried it on DA but it works really good with cpanel.
