We just released a new version of the recurring billing script.  iScripts EasyBiller 1.1 is designed to meet online customer management and billing of service businesses. A new or existing service business can use this open source PHP software for online customer management and billing.

This software works great with service businesses like child care centers, music schools, dance studios, martial arts training centers, accountants, answering services , IT or Network companies etc.. It is perfect for any business that needs to bill a customer on recurring periods.  End users can sign up for online or offline for your services. Or it can be created by business owner and given to clients. Users can create their profile payment methods etc.. This can work as an exclusive invoicing system or as an online billing portion along with your existing invoicing and collection.

In the new version we have added a number of payment gateways like Paypal, Worldpay, Yourpay etc.. in addition to existing Authorize.net and its simulators. It can also support offline payment options like cash, check , money order etc..Another improvement is the flexibility in billing and services. Now you can add multiple plans into a combo plan, customer specific plans etc.. Wouldn’t it make sense to create a custom plan if your customer is buying 3 services instead of one.  We understand even when your invoices are fairly fixed every month, things change. It can support one time credits and one time charges as well. Previous versions have been US centric. We made improvements to make the software applicable for different countries.

As with all our software products you will receive full source code when you buy the software. It means you can customize it anyway you want to meet your business requirements. We also added few new themes as part of the software package which is available at no extra cost. You can also modify the look and feel of the site by editing the style sheets and html pages. Unlike most online invoicing services, you have your entire sensitive, confidential customer data resides within your control.  It is never in our servers or our control.

Customer service is becoming more and more important to the core business. However it comes at a cost. Random phone calls from existing customer could be very disruptive to the operations. Best way to stream line customer support is to use help desk application where you can spend few minutes every day or so to respond customer queries. It helps you organize customer queries and create knowledge base articles for self help. We have integrated iScripts SupportDesk (priced $147) within the software free of cost. You can enable the help desk or disable it. You do not need to buy another license for the help desk.

Also one of the proven ways for new customer acquisition is affiliate or referral programs. We have included an affiliate program built in the software. You can enable them or disable it.

Overall theme of the new version has been increasing flexibility so that you can use this online billing software as it fits your business. iScripts EasyBiller is available for immediate download for $147.00

If you are not familiar with shopster.com, it is a wonderful business model to create a ecommerce platform. They allow drop shippers and store owners together. Drop shippers can sell items through a number of store fronts. Resellers can create online stores and select products to sell from the catalog of drop shippers. Sellers get commission for selling items. Drop shippers get a number of storefronts to sell their items and hence increased sales. Shopster gets money from BOTH.

Here is a quick video of how the business runs from Shopster.com

If you want to create a store front or you want to locate few sellers to sell items Shopster is great place. But if you want create a market place just like shopster talk to iScripts. We have crated a new version of iScripts MultiCart with multiple vendor, multiple seller support. It’s not yet publicly available. But if you have cool business idea similar to this send me an email, I will send you a live demo. No, we were not trying to create a Shopster clone script. Since Shopster does something similar it’s easier to explain that way. We were trying to create a distributed shopping cart solution with multiple vendor, multiple seller capability. As usual we can customize this based on your input.

There are few hundreds of shopping cart software out there. So why one more? Good question.
This is not a shopping cart. This is a business model in a package. A business model internet was supposed to be delivering – the aggregator business model.
There are a number of niche markets out there which cannot be supported by local shops. The reason is demand from the local region is not able to sustain the business. We have seen these types of businesses migrating to the web very successfully. There are some other businesses where the suppliers are scattered and low yielding. One of the prime example is handcrafts market. There are a number of hand crafters out there. most do it as a hobby or part time business. for them marketing directly to consumers is an expensive proposition.
That’s where the iScripts.com Multicart comes. Multicart enables you to act as the aggregator, while giving full control to the suppliers. Take a look at HandCraftsWeb for an example of implementation of multicart in the handcrafts market. Suppliers can add products, enter the prices, descriptions, select shipping methods, provide their profile etc.. When user comes in, they view the see the store as a regular store with product from multiple suppliers just like regular retail storefront. Consumers purchase items from the store and they get, the products in the mail. For the consumer there is difference in the shopping experience. You the aggregator collects money from the consumer based on the price set by the seller. You keep a percentage for your efforts and service (say 10-25%). Credits rest of the amount to the seller. Seller can request money from you based on thresholds you set.
For you the aggregator, your responsibility is to run the site, do marketing, get sellers sign up. Sellers responsibility is to make products, list them for sale and ship the item when they receive an order from you.Naturally the script accepts payment, it has categories. It has interfaces for consumers, sellers, and administrator.
Take look at Multicart for details about this unique web software. It is done using php/mySQL.
As always, we can customize it to meet your specific requirements. Drop us a line.
