You can use the Bulk Pricing Updater addon to apply system-wide price changes to existing clients' products, addons, and domains.

Questions and 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 set criteria. This could, for example, include the product, billing cycle, status, current price, or addons.

When should I use this?

Use this addon whenever you want to increase pricing for existing clients.

By default, changes to the pricing of products, addons, and domain TLDs in WHMCS do not apply to existing clients. Existing clients will remain at the prices they agreed to at the time of placing an order.

How do I get it?

This addon ships with WHMCS by default.

Installation

Because this addon ships with WHMCS by default, you only need to activate the addon through the Admin Area.

To do this, navigate to Configuration () > System Settings > Addon Modules or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Addon Modules. Then, click Activate for Bulk Pricing Updater.

Usage

You can access this addon by navigating to Addons > Bulk Pricing Updater.

If you do not see this in the list of addons, make sure that your admin role group has access to this feature. To add it, go to Configuration () > System Settings > Addon Modules or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Addon Modules.

From Addons > Bulk Pricing Updater you can follow the displayed instructions to perform price updates.

  • The available options depend on the type of item you choose to update.
  • You cannot provide a new price and an amount to increase existing prices. You must only choose one of these options.
  • When you select the TLDs to update pricing for, only select TLDs that will have the same price. You must perform this action separately for separate prices.
  • When updating prices for domain TLDs, do not select Annually or Biennially. They are product billing cycles. You will need to run an update for each pricing term you offer.
  • We recommend applying changes only to the Pending and Active statuses. Expired and Cancelled domains won't be billed again.
  • Unchecking all of the Addon checkboxes will only update domains with no active addons. Checking multiple options will perform an AND search.
  • If you use multiple currencies, perform a separate update for each currency.
  • If you have clients on older or special pricing that you do not want to change, you can use the current price field to restrict a change to only users with a specific current price.
  • The new recurring price will be inclusive of configurable options.
  • Once you proceed with an update, you cannot undo the action. Check your settings carefully.
  • After an update, if it did not apply to the expected number of items, you can refine your criteria further and apply another update.

You can repeat this process as many times as needed to cover all the different product or domain registration periods and domain addon combinations you wish to change.

The process for updating product pricing is similar to updating the pricing for domains. However, you will need to select the Product Names and Billing Cycles instead of TLDs and Registration Periods.
