How to Billing Resellers Per Domain<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

WHMCS allows you to vary the amount shared hosting resellers are billed based on the number of user accounts they use.<\/p>\n

For example, you could charge an additional $1.00 for each cPanel user account that a cPanel & WHM reseller has.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

We introduced this feature in WHMCS 7.9 for cPanel and DirectAdmin servers and in WHMCS 8.5 for Plesk servers. For more information, see\u00a0Usage Billing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

We recommend using this\u00a0Snapshot<\/strong>\u00a0metric type on products with a monthly billing cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Configuration<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

To configure this:<\/p>\n

1. Navigate to\u00a0Configuration > System Settings > Products\/Services<\/strong>\u00a0(Setup > Products\/Services > Products\/Services\u00a0<\/strong>in WHMCS 7.10 and earlier).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

2. Choose\u00a0Create a New Product<\/strong>\u00a0from the options area, or click\u00a0Edit<\/strong>\u00a0for an existing product. If you are creating a new product,\u00a0specify\u00a0Reseller Hosting<\/strong>\u00a0as the product type and the group and product name.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Click the\u00a0Module Settings<\/strong>\u00a0tab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\n

4. Choose the module to use with this product. In this example, we will use cPanel, but the methods to use for DirectAdmin and Plesk are similar.<\/p>\n

5. Enter the requested module-specific information. This will vary depending on the module you choose. For example, for the cPanel module, this includes selecting a WHM package.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In this example, cPanel will prevent resellers from exceeding the maximum number of accounts setting. We suggest configuring the package limits higher, so that you consume all resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

6. Configure the\u00a0Metric Billing<\/strong>\u00a0section. This section only appears if the selected module supports it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
7. Toggle each metric that you want to bill for to\u00a0On<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

The\u00a0Sub-Accounts\u00a0<\/strong>metric within WHMCS is the number of user accounts that a reseller owns. It does\u00a0not\u00a0<\/strong>impact whether cPanel users can create cPanel Subaccounts, which are a separate feature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

8. Next, click the\u00a0Configure Pricing<\/strong>\u00a0link to set the pricing for the sub-accounts the reseller consumes. The\u00a0Configure Pricing\u00a0<\/strong>modal will appear.<\/p>\n

9. Configure the price to charge the client for the sub-accounts they consume (for example, the number of cPanel user accounts the reseller creates).<\/p>\n

There is a lot of flexibility in the configured pricing. For example:<\/p>\n

A. The reseller will be charged $1.00 for every sub-account that exists on the service renewal date each month.<\/p>\n

When the\u00a0Per Unit<\/strong>\u00a0scheme is selected, there is only one unit price ($1.00 per sub-account):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

B. The reseller wil be charged $1.00 for every sub-account they create up to 50. Then, they will be charged $0.50 for every sub-account they consume above that (a bulk discount).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Total Volume<\/strong>\u00a0scheme is selected. This displays the\u00a0Add Range<\/strong>\u00a0button to create an additional range to specify the price for 50 sub-accounts and above:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. The reseller will be charged $1.00 for every sub-account they consume over 10. This is because of the\u00a0Quantity Included<\/strong>\u00a0value.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Per Unit<\/strong>\u00a0scheme is selected as there is only one unit price (always $1.00 per sub-account):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
\n

10. When you are satisfied with the pricing configuration, click\u00a0Save<\/strong>. The window will close.<\/p>\n

11. \u00a0Click\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Invoicing Overview<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

When a client orders the above product:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WHMCS will track the number of sub-accounts that the reseller creates.<\/li>\n
  2. On the service’s\u00a0Next Due Date<\/strong>, the system records a snapshot of the current number of sub-accounts.<\/li>\n
  3. The system calculates the cost according to the current pricing schema.<\/li>\n
  4. The cost appears on the service’s next renewal invoice as an individual line item.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
