It is up to you to manually start the send process each day from your browser. There is no time driven event in VPCART to do this.
Bills can be sent from the VPCART administration by going to Customers>Recurring Billing> Send Billing Email.
This will look at the next billing date of each record in the billing table and send out all bills that have not been sent out since this file was last run.
Essentially, it will send out bills for which the next billing date is less than or equal today’s date.
When you send out a bill, the following actions take place:
1. A record gets created in
the projects table.
This is the information about how much the customer
must now pay. By viewing the projects table, you can see the records that
represent the bills that have been sent out.
2.
Email gets sent to the customer.
This bill asks the customer to visit
your site to pay the bill. The email is made up of the information from the
tmp_billemail.txt template merged with information from the project
record generated in the previous step.
