Billing software?

I only really want to support Paypal as a payment processor, but instead of getting something custom coded I think it's probably better and cheaper to go with an established Billing software.

What do you use? I've heard Lpanel is good, is this the case?

Modernbill here!

To be 100% honest I think that Modernbill www.moderngigabyte.net/modernbill/index.htm is very over-rated as a billing software, but there isn't really much on the market that can compete with it in terms of features... I have also tried Drams from www.dramsystem.com which was very promising a while ago, but I gave up on it because the developers were constantly releasing "updates" and "upgrades" which were not straight forward to apply...

It seems a little expensive aswell

The pricing is kinda cheeky - having to pay more because you've got more clients. I suppose that doesn't matter too much though when you're starting out

Just had a little look round the web and came across http://mblicenses.com/ - a ModernBill reseller which is verified and has some decent savings to be had!

Try WhoisCart(), this is cheap, but quite well supported and offers plugins for several payment processors, control panels and domain registrars.

It's a bit quirky initially to skin, but once you get the hang of things works quite nicely.

Check it with modernbill or CE 2.7 both have excellent features ( CE 2.7 have auto generating invoice modules )

We use WHMCompleteSolution - www.whmcs.com. We tried them all, MB, CE, WhoisCart but nothing can beat WHMCS. They have great support, regular updates and really listen to what users want. We requested a feature and within 3 weeks it was implemented into a new release. Truly a great system and very easy to integrate into your website.

Problem with WHMCS is that it only supports cPanel systems, this is not a lot of use for anyone like us who are offering multiple platforms. Whois.Cart() allows the customer to write their own gateways (although they produced the Helm plugin with a few days of me providing the API spec, saving me the development time

)
