What is BoxBilling?
BoxBilling is an open source application that serves as a billing and client management system, aimed at small businesses and freelancers. It provides a wide range of features to handle invoicing, payments, client and product management all from a single, unified interface.
Some of the key capabilities offered by BoxBilling include:
- Creating professional invoices with custom branding and sending them to clients automatically
- Accepting one-time and recurring payments via multiple payment gateways such as PayPal, Authorize.Net, Stripe, and others
- Keeping track of clients and storing their contact information and order history
- Managing products and services offered, with pricing options and descriptions
- Configuring subscription plans for recurring billing of clients
- Providing customer support functionality and managing help desk tickets
- Generating detailed reports on sales, revenue, expenses, clients and more
As BoxBilling is open source, it can be downloaded and installed on one's own server for complete control over customization and data. It also comes at no licensing cost. The tradeoff is that it requires more technical expertise to setup and manage versus commercial solutions.
Overall, BoxBilling provides small businesses an affordable way to put in place an integrated system to run critical billing and client management functions.
