HF PanelBilling & Business
Sell hosting with Stripe and PayPal, handle VAT, quotes, credit and domain sales, and follow your revenue. What each edition shows.
This group is where you run the money side of your hosting business: taking orders and payments, invoices, VAT and currencies, quotes and account credit, selling domain names, and following how the business grows. Its name and contents depend on the edition of HF Panel you run.
Where: Server Admin › Billing (licensed edition) or Server Admin › Business (official edition)
Licensed edition: the Billing group
This is the edition you install on your own servers.
| Screen | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Billing | Stripe and PayPal, the order page, discount codes, referrals, orders, your invoices and unpaid invoice reminders. |
| Tax & currencies | VAT rules and rates, checking VAT numbers, extra currencies and the tax report. |
| Quotes & credit | Quotes that become invoices when accepted, account credit and credit notes. |
| Domain sales | Sell domain names and paid SSL certificates through a domain reseller account. |
| Licence | This server's HF Panel licence: status, key and renewal. |
| Business | New accounts, cancellations, revenue and churn over time. |
Official edition: the Business group
The official edition runs only on HostFog Ltd's own server, the licence server for every licensed installation. Its group is called Business and holds the licence business in one place:
| Screen | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Overview | Licences, active servers, downloads and installs at a glance. |
| Installs | Install, update and uninstall reports from licensed servers, and one server's full history. |
| Downloads | What the licence server sent out and what it refused. |
| Licensed servers | Every licence with its server; create a licence or change its IP. |
| Tax & currencies | As on the licensed edition. |
| Quotes & credit | As on the licensed edition. |
| Domain sales | As on the licensed edition. |
| Business | As on the licensed edition. |
On the official edition, four more screens are tabs along the top of the Business screens rather than menu entries: Packages (the Packages screen, which leaves the Accounts menu), Invoices (the Billing screen), Licences (the licences sold) and Plans & pricing (the licence plans and feature prices). There is no Licence screen, because this server issues licences rather than holding one.
Note: resellers have a Business screen of their own, for their own customers. The other screens of this group are for administrators only.
