Hi Steve, We have several other companies acting as resellers / partners and handle the billing for them. We currently do not use Rodopi for this, however a MISP installation is a good way to go.
We have a slightly different scenario in that we allow resellers / partners to sell in several formats: 1). Identical Packages to ours for a commission (percentile based) 2). Packages based on base services (i.e. Email, web space etc..) (Fixed price) 3). Complete tailored solution. For option 1 we would copy in identical plans to ours, we would then run our own process after a billing run to capture all Invoices raised and issue an invoice to the reseller accordingly. You could opt to capture at time of payment, but then you would be giving the reseller to be lax on credit control. For option 2 you set up the details / keywords etc, and give them the pricing. They then build plans from these. This can then be captured in a monthly process to determine how many subscribers have signed up to these services and process accordingly. You would need to take care to in your capture routine to ensure you get all customers including ones that might sign-up for a day only depending on agreements with the reseller. For option 3 you would need to come up with your methods as it is too varied. If however, you are only running the billing for them, then a good method would be to charge on number of customers with active plans, something I believe you can view on each MIPS's admin page. I know you can write a small query to check this and hence you could automate the billing easily.
