Hello,

I know that this is a very repeated topic and infact a very common one, but I have a different problem.

I developed a complete billing system to use with ClickBank, but now I have decided to switch to 2CO. So that system is almost useless.

So, do you know of any script which provides me with a complete customer management as well as billing system which can be integrated easily with 2checkout.?

TIA.

Look at www.phpmanager.com they probably have all what you are looking for... for a very competitive price:)

Already have tried it out. But I think it is not what I want.

Any other ideas?

Hello,

Cabal, thanks for the link. Yesterday, when I got few minutes spare, I prepared a list of the features I am looking for the software to have.

(Since, I am using 2CO, that's why I would be sending automatic charge e-mails)

- Add/Edit/Delete Customers
- Add Accounts for customers
- Show Statistics
- Show me link to send automatic charge e-mail to customers on their billing dates

Hello Guys,

Since I got no reply, I developed a small system for myself. What it basically does is given below:

- when the user go to my signup page he is asked for his domain name and desired package
- the domain name and the client's desired package is stored in the database and and a unique id is assigned to it and passed to 2checkout.com
- once they confirm payment, the routine passback on my site sends me an e-mail and adds a new account in the database and sets the account as pending
- i then go to this system, assign the new account an IP Address, create the account and set it as active. I can also send them a templated e-mail regarding their account have been setup.

You can see the system over here.

Please provide me with your feedback as to what should I add to it, if any.

Any chance of posting the code? I was attempting something similar and I would love to see yours. I couldnt get anything to pass info to 2CO.

As for future features, I would like to see a 'custom quote' generator so customers could build a custom plan.

Just use the 2checkout cart feature....

https://www.2checkout.com/cgi-bin/sbuyers/cartpurchase.2c?sid=<2checoutid>&total=<amount>&cart_order_id=<order_id/tran_num>

Remember to turn the feature on ..
(once logged into 2checkout - https://sellers.2checkout.com/cgi-bin/sellersarea/toggle_cart_demo.2c?cart_demo=N )

It look good. - It may also be a good idea to keep an eye at the billing system from clientexec. They are in the beta stage now - I'm a beta tester and it looks really good.

You may want to try out WHBilling at http://www.webhostingbilling.com/

I don't think it supports 2checkout atm, but most of the better merchants like Echo, Authorize, BluePay are all supported... :D

I second nogi's opinion. ClientExec is releasing their 1.0. in a day or to, and it suits your perfectly it seems (from the info you described atleast).
