Flex Term Billing provides a flexible way to offer custom-duration billing for recurring WHMCS services. Instead of being limited to standard billing cycles such as monthly, quarterly, or annually, clients can specify the number of days they want their service to remain active. The module automatically calculates the price based on the selected service duration and manages the complete custom billing lifecycle, including service activation, expiry tracking, reminder notifications, renewals, and service extensions. Clients can manage their custom-term services directly from the WHMCS Client Area. They can extend their service for additional days, cancel renewal, or return to the product's default recurring billing cycle. With automated expiry management through the WHMCS Cron, Flex Term Billing helps simplify custom service-term management while giving both administrators and clients greater flexibility and control.
