Billing Module and Payment Gateways

Hi,
Basically the only reason why I'm still working with WHMCS instead of the Billing Module is lack of out-of-the-box working payment gateways. My understanding is that it now only works with PayPal.

If I was considering to move forward and use the Billing Module instead of WHMCS is somebody able here to make the billing work with at least the major credit card processors such as Stripe or Authorize.net?

Thanks!

 

I use this with sendowl and they offer you some additional gateways like stripe. IIRC stripe has a lot of payment-gateways.
You can create a hook on sendowl pointing to your server and trigger some API-Calls for the billing-module depending on the data you received from sendowl. But i don't think, that you use a script without modifications. I have a very small script that matches most of my needs but this won't work on other systems.

 

I found an older version of this script, that you may can use with smaller modifications. IIRC this has two bugs:
the invoice-number will be incorrect (placeholders not replaced) and the vat-settings may be wrong for clients with a vat-id from europe.
that's the reason, why the send-invioce is commented.

Code:

<?php
include('../hook.conf');
// get the post data as array
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"),true);
// Save the post data for later debugging
file_put_contents('../datastore/postdata-'.date('Y-m-d_H-i').'.ser',serialize($data));
file_put_contents('../datastore/postdata-'.date('Y-m-d_H-i').'.txt',print_r($data,true));
$error = '';
function sendowl_price($val) {
  preg_match("/\d+\.\d+/", $val, $matches);
  return $matches[0];
}

Maybe i should update my billing-module

It is safe to send invoices but i had the problem with the place-holders. I use a different script as a workaround for the placeholders but if the latest version fixes this, i can remove my workaround.
