WHMCS allows you to bill clients according to the resources they consume (for example disk space, bandwidth, number of domains, or email addresses). You can use this feature with cPanel & WHM, DirectAdmin, and Plesk servers.

Configure Usage Billing #

To configure usage billing:

1. Go to Configuration () > System Settings > Products/Services.
2. Choose Create a New Product or click Edit for an existing product. If you are creating a new product, specify the product type, group, and product name, and other information.
3. Choose the Module Settings tab.
4. Choose the module to use with this product. You can configure usage billing for the cPanel, DirectAdmin, and Plesk modules.
5. Configure any module-specific information. For example, for the cPanel module, select the WHM Package Name to use with this product.
   cPanel will typically prevent access to a website if it reaches the bandwidth limit on the assigned package. We suggest configuring the package limits in WHM higher, to allow the consumption of more resources.
   
6. For each metric to bill based on usage:
   1. Toggle the metric to On.
      
   2. Click Configure Pricing. The Configure Pricing box will appear.
   3. Configure the price according to your needs. For example, you could configure the following pricing:
      • Select Per Unit and enter 1.00 to charge $1.00 for every GB of bandwidth the client consumes each month.
        
      • Select Total Volume and add ranges to charge $1.00 for every GB of bandwidth up to 10GB and $0.50 for every GB they consume above 10GB (a bulk discount).
        
      • Select Quantity Included and enter 1.00 to charge $1.00 for every GB of bandwidth that the client consumes above 10GB.
        
   4. Click Save.
7. Click Save Changes.
