Is Licensecart Legit? And More Questions

[AKNode]

I see that LicenseCart.com is offering Blesta branded for $140.00. Is that website legit?

I'm new to blesta and i am thinking about switching.

Here are some other questions i have if the community on here wants to answer them:

Is blesta better than WHMCS?

Does it support the payment gateway Stripe?

Is it easy to integrate into a website?

Thanks,

Andrew K

Yes, LicenseCart is a legit. Blesta does support Stripe, and is easy to theme like your website. I'm a little biased, but yes, Blesta is better than WHMCS. It's certainly better written. What you need to do is determine if it's the best option for YOU.

 

Download and install the free trial if you haven't already.

You can grab v3.6.1 by clicking the download button on www.blesta.com.

Is blesta better than WHMCS?

Like Paul I can be considered Bias but I've had experience with both before switching to Blesta 2.5 in May 2013, just before WHMCS's big exploits, so I'm going to link to two security experts opinion instead:

...and one customer who used both:

Does it support the payment gateway Stripe?

Yep we use it: https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Stripe

 

Is it easy to integrate into a website?

Yep our website you went one is fully running on Blesta, but I take it you want a simple integration and not powered by, so you can see this tutorial: http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/3642-blesta-integration-33x-advanced/

I am trying to install the blesta trial and my CPanel is giving this error:

The file you uploaded, blesta-3.6.1(1).zip, contains a virus so the upload was canceled: Zip.Suspect.MacroDoubleExtension-zippwd FOUND

It thinks there is a virus.

 

cPanel is known for that a mate of mine had that issue we had to use FTP, one reason I dislike cPanel

Im gonna see how the trial works out with my clients, and then i will probably go for the 7.80 per month from Licensecart. What do i need to do to move the directory of my blesta trial installation to clients.aknode.com instead of clients.aknode.com/blesta?

email sales@ blesta with your key or pm Paul here with it. (settings > system > general > license key) and await a reply as you need a re-issue. Then just update the root folder url.

I re-issued the trial and PM'd you the key
