One for the Webhosts – Integration with WHMCS

If you’re in the web-hosting industry then you have no doubt heard of WHMCS.

It’s the absolute cream of the crop when it comes to automated billing and client management and support. Whilst it’s suitable for (and used by) many other industries that want to give their clients a combined billing, management and support  interface, it’s gained a lot of traction in the web hosting space.

We like to be associated with the “best of breed” and a lot of our customers use WHMCS so getting integrated with them was a high priority for us.

At first we tried to use a third-party development company who turned out be totally incompetent and ended up taking our money and running (Note to lawyers of BoostPlatform – it’s not libelous as we can prove it!).

In the end we worked directly with WHMCS themselves and they’ve developed an add-on for their software using our accounting API. It copies across all customer and invoice/payment data from WHMCS and keeps KashFlow updated with any new payments and customers. All very simple and slick, but will save our mutual customers a whole load of time and eliminate the possibility of human error in manually copying over data.

The Addon is free of charge, so go take a look at http://wiki.whmcs.com/KashFlow_Accounting to get started.
