Can Blesta Manage Billing Of The Azure Accounts

[dilip.wanave]

Hi,

 

My scenario is like I have azure account for hosting my customers websites on Azure, I want to allow each customer to manage there sites and each site have there separate billing.

 

My requirement is: when I login into my Azure account then I should be able to see each customer's billing separately.
Problem is on Azure we do not have the option to view pricing per website. Pricing can be viewed per subscription.
So under my one Azure account there will be one subscription and under one subscription there will be multiple sites with different domains. So I want to view billing for each site.

So is there any way to do that using your tool?
Please note Azure is pay as you go so if website hits increases then cost will increase, if database size increase then cost will increase.

 

Thanks,

Dilip

I don't think you can do that with Blesta right now. But such requirements can be done with modules, so i believe you can get what you want but with a custom module.

Hi Joseph,

 

What does this mean "custom module"? and what will be cost of it?

 

Can this tool manage billing from the Azure since it is not a fixed billing it is pay as you go?

 

Could you please explain the exact purpose of this tool in case of managing Azure hosting?

if you need just a billing , what you need is a cronjob that collect the usage and the price every end of mounth or end of term then create a invoice with that information .

the information collect should be done via API , the USAGE command is your friend
