I'm using DNP 2.0.5.

I setup a few clients of mine with a hosting plan I  configured. This was done manually. Later I created E-commerce products using these hosting plans I created earlier. Is it possible to associated my clients and bill them periodically via DNP after manually setting up their spaces? Or do I have to recreate these accounts/domains via the E-commerce interface. It would be very inconvenient if  I had to.

Is it also possible to change the payment type after an a client has paid for a web hosting package. For example initially they pay via paypal and in future may wish to pay via a different payment gateway.

Is it possible to prevent cancellation of accounts?

Thanks in advance.

Paul.

It wont help much yet but you ay want to subscribe to it.

Thanks for that Taylex. I'm guessing there is no positive response to this question going by that thread you pointed me to.

I've subscribed to it. 

Hello Paul,

Unfortunately it is impossible to export customers/packages created manually to the Ecommerce in order to get them bill periodically. This functinaloty will be available in the next releases.

Customer can easily change payment type during the order checkout.

Yes, sure it is possible to prevent cancellation of accounts (I assume you use 2.1.0 version). You just need to disable or delete Cancel Overdue Invoices scheduled task from your schedule list if any. That's all.

While we wait for this functionality to make it to the next release, is there a way to "manually" export/link customers to the Ecommerce module? Perhaps via a stored procedure or manually adding the data directly into the database itself?

I am migrating from an old control panel software and already created all the accounts in DNP. The task would be a huge undertaking to say the least.

Unfortunately there is no possibility to do such because import existing customers/packages requires some API changes.

Feodor,

Since there is no possibility thus far, do you have an ETA as to when this functionality will make it to DNP?
(I know is hard to estimate the ETA sometimes, but would it be closer to a month? Three Months? A year? Three years? Never?

Hi guys,

has there been any word on if this is going to be added to the next release?  The built-in billing system of DNP is the only problem I see but hopefully these fixes are around the corner.

Thanks

I haven't heard anything and like you, I am waiting anxiously.

I gave up waitng and add them to the dB my self

How did you do it?  Can you post the steps here? (I would do it myself but I'm afraid my little brain cannot handle such task  )

If you take a look at the following tables you should be able to work it out:

ecInvoice
ecInvoiceItems
ecHostingPackageSvcs
ecHostingPackageSvcsCycles
ecDomainSvcs
ecDomainSvcsCycles
ecSvcsUsageLog

The following tabless don't need anything adding to it but it does have the Service ID & Domain ID that need to go in ecDomainSvcs & ecHostingPackageSvcs

Packages
Domains

Current version of DotNetPanel doesn't support import of existing hosting packages (created manually) but we are planning to add it in the upcoming or next release.

Sure your customer can change payment method later when proceed with the payment. Customer needs to select a payment method every time he makes a purchase.

Yes it is possible to prevent cancellation of accounts - do not schedule Cancel Overdue Invoices task for the reseller account.

We separated scheduled tasks for Ecommerce module in order to deliver as much flexibility as possible for your convenience on cancellation and suspension functionality.
