Automatic bill creation is used when you want to create an installment when the customer purchases a product from your site. It allows you to decide which products, when purchased, should start the automatic rebilling process.
When a customer orders a product from your shop, VPCART checks to determine if this is an installment product by looking at the following new fields in the products record. The most important is billinginstallments. If this value is anything but zero, then VPCART will generate a billing record to start the recurring payment facility.
