What does "Automatically Provision Paid Pending Services" mean ?

[turner2f]

Within the options for the "Client Groups" is a checkbox for " Automatically Provision Paid Pending Services ".

In simple terms, does this mean that Web Hosting services will be auto-activated BEFORE payment is received ( IE - while payment is pending ) ?

============

If yes, and we turn this "off ", will the Web Host C-panel account be auto-created and activated AFTER payment is made in full ?

This mean that service for  which invoice has been paid will be activated by blesta on auto pilot,in short if client order web hosting(or any other service)..check out and paid invoice..this service will be autoprovisioned by blesta at selected interval.

Under company-->settings--->Automation you can select interval for auto provisioning paid pending service....every 5 minutes..10..etc.

Five minute is default value.

Maybe this " Automatically Provision Paid Pending Services ". sound strange but it is not if you look closely...by default every service unpaid or paid is set as pending after order is completed...now you have option to autoprovison paid pending service or not..and also as I said you can select interval for auto provisioning.

It also helps to understand the order flow. A service that is ordered go through the following steps:

1. "In-Review" Newly ordered service starts out with this status. It is then converted by the order system to the next status once the order is approved. Orders can be approved automatically, or manually by staff.
2. "Pending" Once a order is approved, the services are moved to this status.
3. "Active" Pending services are activated by the cron, if they do not have any open invoices attached to them. Thus the setting "Provision paid pending services", means that services which are in the "Pending" status will be activated if they are paid.
