Links to tariff plans
BILLmanager allows to configure a tariff plan directly on your web-site. In the tariff plan edit form you can find order links:
Pre-defined links
- To place a link to the list of tariff plans, copy Tariff plan order URL
- To place a link to a certain plan, copy the link with the name of order period
If you want to use custom configuration
This is the link to order a Shared hosting service for 1 month:
https://172.31.223.13/billmgr?func=register&redirect=startpage%3Dvhost%26startform%3Dvhost%252Eorder%252Eparam%26pricelist%3D1%26period%3D1%26project%3D1
Where
- func=register. The registration function, if a client is not registered in BILLmanager. A client account will be created, and the client will be redirected to the next function.
- redirect=startpage%3Dvhost%26startform%3Dvhost%252Eorder%252Eparam%26pricelist%3D1%26period%3D1%26project%3D1 - describes the function that will be executed after registration. To convert it to a readable format, execute URL Decode (once you have changed parameters, execute URL Encode). Use http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/
Then:
startpage=vhost&startform=vhost%2Eorder%2Eparam&pricelist=1&period=1&project=1
- startpage=vhost. A product type. In our case - Shared hosting
- startform=vhost%2Eorder%2Eparam. A start form - edit order parameters. (vhost - Shared hosting)
- pricelist=1 - tariff id
- period=1 - period in months
- project=1 - project id (in Standard and Advanced - always 1)
In order to add specific options into the link, locate the add-on's id in the plan's "Configuration"
Add addon_<add-on id>=<add-on number>
Something like that:
startpage=vhost&startform=vhost%2Eorder%2Eparam&pricelist=1&period=1&project=1&addon_12=1&addon_13=15&addon_14=2
Execute URL Encode, and add the general link:
https://172.31.223.13/billmgr?func=register&redirect=startpage%3Dvhost%26startform%3Dvhost%252Eorder%252Eparam%26pricelist%3D1%26period%3D1%26project%3D1%26addon_12%3D1%26addon_13%3D15%26addon_14%3D2
