Features checklist for WHMCS->Blesta migration

[Himax]

Hello,

I'm wishing to dump my lifetime license of WHMCS (I own 2 of them, if anybody is interested). But would like to check if some features I need are implemented in Blesta, mainly to comply with EU rules and taxes and our special requirements.

Here's a list:

• Proforma invoicing and separate invoice numbering for proforma and invoices. Perhaps proforma invoice only for selected customers (or invoice only for selected customers).
• EU vat rules, VAT and personal fiscal codes for physical persons. Bonus would be vies check on national VAT numbers to enable/disable VAT on each invoice.
• Freezing of the invoice once committed, including the header, address etc, while allowing proforma invoices to be amended until transformed into real invoices.
• Domain registrars: Enom, ResellerClub.
• Billing of full month on prorata services for the first month, even if the service starts during the month
• One invoice per month per customer, on a given day (1st of the month for example) which includes all the services accrued during a month, even if their start day differs.
• Pre or Post billing: Bill one month in advance or at the end of the month based on customer and/or service.
• Prepaid / refill accounts

Thank you

Did you finally move to Blesta? I also have similar requirements.

I tried hard, but still stuck with WHMCS. Blesta is very nice, and the migration script does 90% of the work. However, the issues above still remain and prevent me from using Blesta in the EU.

In know that some of the points in my original post are not into WHMCS too and that their implementation required me to write some code for WHMCS, but I'm not in a position to do so again for Blesta.

It seems that for now we are still captives of WHMCS. I also think Blesta could be a better alternative but I'm afraid something could be wrong after the import.

Have you installed the trial recently or attempted an import? If so, which specific items are you concerned about? Many of the things mentioned by the OP in this thread are implemented. Like Enom, ResellerClub, Freezing invoices, VIES VAT, and more.. I only skimmed it.

Good news then! thank you.

The last attempt I tried was in december. Maybe I'll try again in august. I think it will be better to wait until the end of a fiscal year but perhaps I try it before.
