Product type detailes

This is the documentation for the deprecated product BILLmanager 5. It is no longer updated and may be irrelevant. Documentation for the current version of BILLmanager can be found in the BILLmanager 6 section.

Product types have add-ons. An add-on is a template for additional services of a tariff plan. An add-on has an internal name and settings. A resource inherits these settings from the add-on. For more information please refer to the article Tariff plan configuration.

Note:

We do not recommend that you edit the internal names of pre-made add-ons.

Use a manual processing module or activation via Shell-scripts for custom add-ons. For more information please refer to the article Integration via ShellScripts.

Name — enter a name that will be displayed in the Type field on the add-on configuration form in Products → Tariff plans → Details → Edit;

Note:
