OpenSourceBilling - Looking for people to testdrive and adapt
The company I work for has initiated an OpenSource project called OpenSourceBilling. Its written in Ruby. For smaller organizations and emerging companies, it may serve as a good alternate to paid billing. This is suppose to be general billing software and not targeted for hosting industry but it might help someone. The features are
- A nice looking Dashboard with graph, key metrics, current and past invoices, and a list of recent activities
- Create and send invoices to your clients
- Enter payments against sent invoices
- Partial payments tracking
- Receive payments through Paypal and credit card
- Invoice dispute management
- Export invoices to PDF
- Reports like Payments Collected, Aged Accounts Receivable, Revenue By Client and more to come
Although it only support PayPal as a payment method but the company wants to see what the community at large thinks of this and based on popular feature-requests, there will be improvements to this OpenSource product.
Its available on GitHub along with instructions to install .
Demo is also available here: http://demo.opensourcebilling.org/ (please report any and all issues to the development team via github or email)

Make a stripe module for this and I'll love you longtime.
Looks nice. Thanks @Asim
@Asim It looks great. BTW, I haven't seen you for quite a while. Busy?
Looks nice!
One feature, which seems to be lacking in all other systems other than WHMCS/Hostbill/Blesta is the accounting of PayPal fees, does this system have this?
Its Ruby on Rails
Not the best name, kind of like "New Text Document.txt". Or perhaps it was a code name and description of what they were going to develop, with a TODO note to think up a real name later, but no one has ever got around to it, and they just decided to not bother and just release as is.
Asim is busy with the university
Thanks for your work Asim
Looks awesome. Will give it a shot later today.
Keep up the good work
It looks amazing.. is recurring invoices/billing available?
Ditto, I have exactly the same question!
Looks superb but please add support for other payment methods such as moneybookers because Paypal doesn't work in many countries of the world.
cpanel, webuzo, kloxo plugins.
Can we implement this with our own projects as it is open source?
Looks really good!
No
He justs wants to brag about how awesome this tool is and show you the source, but no one should ever use this.
It is licensed under GNU General Public License, so you could use it in your own project, if you follow the rules of the license.
@t3ster - I'm on my phone so I couldn't see what it was licensed under or which version.
Thanks!
looks nice, when will be available?
Certainly looks nice and it is really great that it is open source. Will check it out when I get the need
I'll have to agree, it looks very clean.
Forwarded the request to development team, thanks @Jacob
Thanks @peppr
@vRozenSch00n yes, still taken away with work & offline-life
@GetKVM_Ash at the moment, no.
Yes, I have placed this
Yes @Derek, right now its ROR
LOL, interesting read, thanks for looking at this @rm_. As the application matures, we may rename it to something but right now all names were taken and we are left with the one that we currently have
Thanks to the development team and the company for realsing it. I was not part of the development team but wanted to share it with LET if someone wishes to adapt or provide feedback to improve it.
@Zen We may have GoogleWallet and/or Stripe, will keep everyone updated
@seriesn thanks, please provide feedback on what you think about it
@David_P yes, probably still in the testing phase and not pushed online but its there. Let me get updates on this from the development team
@Sledger MoneyBookers/Skrill can be added but other payment modules have more requests so we may have Stripe/GoogleWallet before starting work on Skrill
@24khost This is still in the discussions since the prime focus is billing. Yes, this may evolve to have the plugins for webhosting as well but I cannot say for sure since I am not actively involved in development
@bcarlsonmedia Sure, feel free to fork
its on GitHub as explained in the original message
Thanks @Abdussamad, test drive this and provide feedback on functionality as well
He justs wants to brag about how awesome this tool is and show you the source, but no one should ever use this.
Thanks @t3ster for the compliments. Actually this is GNU so you can freely use it under the guidelines of GNU/GPL. We do not have a secondary license imposed at this point. If there is anything else? feel free to let me know and I will convey to the development team.
My philosophy has always been to give-back to the community, while I understand this may not be as big and hifi as the other large OpenSource projects but its a start. Everything needs a start and support from the community to get this going. All I am requesting is, try this and provide feedback, suggestions, bug-reports etc
Its GNU/GPL v3 to be exact
@dedicados it is available on GitHub right now, download, branch, fork it to your will. Just remember, its GNU/GPL v3
Thanks @vampireJ
Thank you @EliteTurtle
im going to test it
Looks very good @Asim,
Is it possible to integrate a POS feature?
