This week in HostBill we’re adding a new payment gateway: Checkout.fi and introducing new features to Private Products plugin and changed to Late Fee invoicing!

Checkout.fi payment gateway

Thanks to new integration you can now process your payments using Checkout.fi payment gateway! Checkout.fi is one of the leading internet based payment service providers in Finland, that proviced online payment tools and solutions for companies of all sizes. Checkout.fi enables to securely process credit card and bank account payments. With this payment module payments are processed offsite. Checkout.fi also supports recurring charges and easy one-click refunds! The gateway is free to all HostBill users – you can activate it in Plugins section in your admin area!

Private Products

Private Products module is simple in its concept, yet gives you new ways to sell your products. With this module you can sell certain products or services to a selected group of customers. The plugin allows you to hide products from general view and make them available only to specific clients. With today’s update you can now assign products not only to individual clients but also to client groups. This makes it a lot easier and faster to manage your special sales offers to certain customers!

Late fees

Among many billing and invoicing options in HostBill you can add “late fees” – a fee that client needs to pay X days after the due date for given service/product. The fee can be set either as a percentage of the order value or as a fix price, and it can be determined in product automation configuration. New option allows you to decide whether the late fee should be added as a line to original invoice or a separate invoice with the late fee should be issued. This can be specified in General Settings -> Billing section in your admin panel:

free Radius

FreeRADIUS is the most popular and the most widely deployed open source RADIUS server in the world. With HostBill FreeRadius module you can automatically provision user accounts in RADIUS and sell any RADIUS-Authenticated service, giving you countless possibilities. New option introduced this week to this module enables to use forms values as attribute values, allowing much more product flexibility!
