You can hit create and set the next due date accordingly and an invoice will automatically be generated on the next cron run. Or you can do it manually as you say. I think it has its uses (I've used it many times on previous installs) and would be a great addition to Blesta.

It is in WHMCS and documented here: http://docs.whmcs.com/Clients:Products/Services_Tab If a service is tied to a module it'll show the modules buttons on the admin side under product/services (In the event of a cPanel account, that'll be Create).

This would really work both ways though. If this route was adopted you're going to see hundreds if not thousands of these little 'addons' over time for every little feature that it'll become a pain. I think Paul and his guys know the fine line between a useful feature and what can be kept out so we shouldn't have to worry, hopefully .

That is the RAA - the agreement they signed see: These sources date back early 2005: http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/google-becomes-accredited-registrar http://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-is-now-an-icann-accredited-domain-name-registar/1281/

This sums it up nicely ^.

They have been since 2004-2005 I believe.

WHMCS has a separate module so the ModulesGarden plugin is not needed: https://www.softaculous.com/docs/WHMCS_Auto_Install_Module Would be nice to see this implemented here, not many systems offer it yet the API has been available for a while now.

Really shocked at the number of people using AWBS, didn't expect that at all! If you really wanted to get to Blesta quickly you could try AWBS -> WHMCS -> Blesta (or wait for a module). If you do be sure to test it first considering the nature of a billing system and it's importance to your business .

If you really needed this it might be worth asking the folks at Groove or be looking into custom development. As you said, I would not expect this to be made high priority officially due to the low demand

Why not? Because it is not maintained and things move on regardless of how stable it is today . The core code may be extremely stable / bug free but server software is being updated regularly, API changes are being made by companies out of AWBS's control such as Payza and Skrill, Nominet etc Sooner or later you will have to move to another system (unless they actually start supporting the project again) so if you're running a business, it might be worth investing into having a migration module built whilst your business is still working. You could play with a double migration though. AWBS -> WHMCS -> Blesta. I'd be sure to thoroughly test it though as things may get messy / break

According to a thread on another forum, PayPal recently changed it's stance on this. You can charge more for PayPal as long as you ensure the client is aware of it. Would be nice to get that verified though.
