    Selling without online payments

    Hi guys, I have set up my reseller hosting site and I have began selling services. I handle only in cash (or ebay sometimes), so online gateway is not enabled on WHMCS.

    My earlier method was, receive cash, give them a coupon code and they can apply while buying. I would have generated couple of one-time time only coupons and I would pass onto them.

    Now I am thinking to change the flow entirely:

    - first I ask them to register them on WHMCS
    - receive the cash and activate the account manually from WHMCS

    But once the period is over, like after an year, still will they notification about next payment?

    And do you have any other suggestions as well?

    As long as the products are set to a recurring billing cycle and not one-time, users should receive notification of a pending invoice just like any other users. You might want to set your initial invoice send date back a bit further than normal.

    ^thank you!

    what about email? they will still receive email after first activation, right?

    secondly, how do I disable buying options on WHMCS, since I will be manaually activating it

    ^all my clients are local + it's India. Online payments still not encouraged and very less people have credit cards. Secondly, all my clients are college goers, so there is hardly any chance having them CC.

    So, it works ;-)

    Ohh dont worry, i saw some news that your goverment want everyone to have a bank account...
    So pretty soon you will all be sucked into the international banking system.

    They will make sure your country is held hostage with debt, and then, they will pretend they are there to save you from that debt, and drown you with a bit more debt.
    So... yeah. Bright future ahead

    Avin, WHMCS has the option where you can enable manual activation of accounts and domain registrations for new accounts, it also has the option to automatically renew accounts/domains on receiving payments (for existing customers), just explore WHMCS in depth and you will find them.

    As most of your customers are local, you can activate "Bank Transfer" and "Mail In Payment" under payment gateways, to collect payment through NEFT/RTGS, cheque/cash.

    You may also like to get an account with ccavenue.com (their zero setup fee plan), to collect payments through credit/debit cards and netbanking. I am sure most of your clients (students) are already having debit cards and netbanking.

    You have to know more about this country to understand what I mean.

    And you should gain more knowledge about what Bharat is before making an off topic comment.

    I am not offended by lack of your knowledge and you don't have to apologise for that.

    Seems you have still not searched for what Bharat is.

    May be this will ring some bells for you "Lisboa is in Lisbon" or "Lisboa is Lisbon"

    Yes, India has many languages and India is referred by different names sometimes. Like Bharath even it is referred as Hindustan. Hindustan was referred to as India during British rule.

    Avin7000, can you provide me the details of your reselling service (the plans, the original host, server location, etc)? I am looking for an affordable and reliable (host) reseller plan.

    How did this thread turn from "I have a question about WHMCS" to a culture lesson about India?

    Should we get back on track?
