Helm now gives you
the ability to set up an auto-signup script that your customers can use to
purchase through you, and pay via credit card.
From the Billing
Settings menu, choose “Billing Configuration”. You will be presented with the
following screen:
Using this option
will make it much easier for your customers to sign up for a hosting account.
When they sign up they will be assigned a dummy hosting plan, dummy user, and
(if chosen) a dummy domain.
Currency
Symbol:- The currency symbol
is the symbol that the customers will see when viewing transactions and invoices
for their billing accounts. Changing this will not affect the system except in
what currency figures are displayed as. Alter the value in this text box to suit
your needs, and click the 'Save' button to save the changes.
Add Recurring
Transactions:- This is how many days before the payment due
date new transactions should be added to customers accounts. For example, if
this is set to '30' days then customers will have renewal fees appear in their
billing 30 days before their due date. This allows customers to have plenty of
time to make a payment before a deadline. Alter the value in this text box to
suit your needs, and click the 'Save' button to save the changes.
Enable Pay on
Auto-Signup Form:- Checking this box
allows you to activate the functionality to accept credit card signups from your
customers. Without this, the signup form will not accept credit card
details.
Request Domain Name on
Signup:- Checking this box allows your customers to
specify a domain name they wish to have added to the dummy user account that
gets set up under their reseller account.
Allow Custom
Username:- Checking this box allows the user to choose
their own username for their account, instead of being assigned a random user
account name.
Allow Custom Password:-
Checking this box allows the user to choose
their own control panel password. You can use this instead of sending them a
random password out.
Terms and Conditions
URL:- This field allows you to add the link to your
Terms and Conditions page to the signup script page.
Pay on Signup Header
HTML:- Here you can enter custom HTML to make the
signup page header similar to the theme of your own website.
Pay on Signup Footer
HTML:- Here you can enter custom HTML to make the
signup page footer similar to the theme of your own website.
Upon completion of this
form, you can access (and link to) the auto-signup page like this:
https://control.serverconsole.net/autosignup.asp?adminaccnum=RESELLERACCOUNT
Where RESELLERACCOUNT is your account
number or login.
