Do you guys currently have an import from WHMCS to Blesta? (Latest WHMCS).

Also, how does blesta compare when working with HyperVM (can you suspend, terminate, create a vps through blesta?) Does blesta automatically charge a credit card on a monthly basis? Does blesta send out invoices via email automatically and work with Paypal IPN to notify of a completed payment (and with quantumgateway?).

I am very interested in switching over, please let me know all the details :).

Do you guys currently have an import from WHMCS to Blesta? (Latest WHMCS).


We have an import for version 3.6.1 of WHMCS that just needs to be committed to our download area. The 3.6.1 import should work for all 3.6.x versions, but we can make modifications to fit your needs should you have any trouble with your version.


Also, how does blesta compare when working with HyperVM (can you suspend, terminate, create a vps through blesta?)


Yes you can suspend, terminate, and provision new VPS's through Blesta. Accounts can be suspended and unsuspended automatically due to late payments as well.


Does blesta automatically charge a credit card on a monthly basis?


Yes, all our Merchant gateways support auto-debit. Quantum included. We break gateways into 2 categories, Merchant and non-Merchant. Merchant gateways are ones such as Authorize.net, BluePay, Quantum, etc. and non-Merchant are ones like PayPal, Google Checkout, 2Checkout. etc. Transactions for Merchant gateways are processed through Blesta, an non-Merchant are processed off-site.


Does blesta send out invoices via email automatically and work with Paypal IPN to notify of a completed payment (and with quantumgateway?).


Yes and yes. You can have Blesta email out invoices (or queue them up for print/mailing for those few customers that want something in the mail) automatically x days prior to renewal. PayPal and PayPal Subscriptions are both supported, as well as Quantum.



I am very interested in switching over, please let me know all the details :).

I hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions. We are also available to talk over the phone if needed. You can get our contact details from our website at www.blesta.com (http://www.blesta.com). Thanks for your interest!

Edit: Just wanted to add that we have a 30-day free trial and do offer a generous 30% refugee discount.

Great, I'm trying out the demo now. Is the 30% discount good for the owned license & how long is the discount running for?

The 30% discount applies if you have an owned license of a competing product and is good for an owned license of Blesta (or 1 month leased, but owned is the better value). If you don't qualify the 25% WHT coupon would work just fine, only 5% difference. The WHT is until the end of the year, the 30% refugee will run until we decide to change it or take it down - probably will stay the same for a while.
