The Bulk Pricing Updater Addon utility can be used to apply system wide price changes to existing clients' product, addon and domain services.

Questions & Answers

What does the addon do?

This addon allows you to make changes to your existing clients' product, addon and domain renewal prices based on a number of criteria including product, billing cycle, status, current price, addons, etc...

When should I use this?

You will need to use this addon any time you want to increase the pricing for your existing clients. This is necessary because by default, changing the pricing of products, addons and domain TLDs in WHMCS does not cascade to existing clients. That is, existing customers always remain at the prices they were shown and agreed to at the time of placing an order. The only exception to this is if you enable Product Prices Currency update setting under the Automation Settings.

How do I get it?

The module is free, and can be downloaded from the url below.

Don't See It?
If you do not see this option, ensure you have granted access to use it to your admin role group in Setup > Addon Modules.

Upon visiting the addon you will be guided through the process of performing a price update using a stepped wizard interface as follows:

Step 1 - Choose the type of item you wish to make a pricing update to - this is one of either Products/Services, Addons or Domains
Step 2 - Specify the criteria for identifying the items you wish to change the pricing on
- The options available to you here will vary depending upon the type of item you have requested to update
- You will also be asked to provide either a New Price to assign matching items to, or an amount to Increase Existing Prices By. You should only ever specify one or the other of these - never both.
Step 3 - Review - This step provides a summary of your criteria and the change that will be made and asks you to confirm everything is correct.
- Once you proceed, the action cannot be undone, so be sure to check the proposed changes and criteria.
Step 4 - Perform Update - The updates will be performed and the addon will tell you the number of items that were adjusted.
- Upon completion of an update, if you find it didn't apply to as many items as you had expected, you will be given the option to go back and refine your criteria further should you wish to edit the choices you made and try again.
