Why Doesn't HostX Automatically Apply Discounts? Print

  • 0

Automatically reducing the actual WHMCS product price would require HostX to modify WHMCS's pricing structure.

This introduces several technical challenges, including:

  • Restoring the original price when a discount is removed.
  • Handling multiple billing cycles (Monthly, Quarterly, Annually, etc.).
  • Managing different prices for multiple currencies.
  • Overriding WHMCS's default pricing logic.
  • Maintaining compatibility with future WHMCS updates.

Because of these complexities, automatically changing WHMCS pricing could introduce inconsistencies and unexpected behavior.

Summary

The HostX Discount Manager is designed to:

  • Display promotional discounts using strike-through pricing.
  • Keep the WHMCS selling price unchanged.
  • Ensure consistent pricing throughout the ordering process.
  • Avoid conflicts with WHMCS's native pricing system.

If you want customers to purchase a product at a discounted price, simply set the discounted price in WHMCS and use the HostX Discount Manager to display the original price alongside it.
