Reports

WHMCS includes a wide range of reports to give you in-depth reporting and analytics on the performance of your business. Many reports also include graphs and charts to help you interpret the data.

You can access this feature at Reports > Reports.

  • You can customize the reports that display in this interface or create new ones. For more information, see Customizing Reports.
  • By default, an admin role group can access all reports in the system if their permissions include View Reports. However, you can configure admin roles to only view selected reports at Configuration () > System Settings > Administrator Roles.

Reports

Reports display in several primary categories: General, Billing, Income, Clients, and Support.

    • /includes/hooks
