Currently, the user selected invoice option requires manual license
management, and a fixed-price plan offer requires automatic license
management.
If we're offering a fixed-price plan and the user wants to pay by
invoice, then the current system in place require us to create the
invoice in Stripe first and then input it manually via the support
page for the customer.
This commit is a part of the efforts to rename btn-related classes
and variables to align with Zulip's no-abbreviations policy and
streamline the search results.
Logged in users can use the relative links to access the help
document. Didn't convert the `zulip.com` links on error pages since
the user might not be able to login to see the page.
Fixes#28633
Added a button to switch license management type on billing page.
Tested that the plan switch works correctly.
Tested that when switching from manual to automatic license
management, customer is only billed for billable users for the
next billing cycle.
In the billing portal UI for manual license management, limit
decreasing the number of licenses for the next billing period to
be less than the currently used licenses. If the customer is exempt
from license number checks, then this limit is not applied.
Also, visually highlight manual license management errors so that
the billing admin is aware of potential issues.
As of these changes, current licenses can be under the seat count
when a guest user is changed to a non-guest user. And next billing
period licenses can be under the seat cout when a user joins with a
currently available, purchased license after a billing admin has
decreased the number of licenses set for the next billing period.
Updates the links about license management to the help center on
the billing and upgrade pages to go to the section about the type
of license management, and to go to either the Zulip Cloud billing
article or the self-hosted billing article.
We send customer an invoice at the start of free trial, if customer
pays we upgrade them to the active plan at the end of free trial,
else we downgrade them and show a custom message on the upgrade
page regarding the current status.
Earlier, for fixed-price plans we were showing the generic
next payment info on billing page which stated that plan
will automatically renew on end_date. It is no longer correct
for fixed-price plans.
This commit fixes the next payment info for fixed-price plans.
When the next_billing_cycle is the end_date, we inform the customer
that their plan will end on end_date and zulip sales will contact
them a couple of month ago before the end_date for renewal.
Adds a link on the upgrade and billing pages that opens a stripe
billing portal for the customer to update their name and address
that will appear on invoices and receipts.
On the billing page, updating the credit card information will
no longer update the customer billing address, since they can
now do this directly through the billing portal. To be consistent
with the credit card form on the upgrade page, we still require
inputting a billing address for the card.
Note that, once an invoice is paid/complete, then changes to the
customer's name and address will not be applied to those invoices.
Instead of charging the customer using the attached payment
method and then creating the invoice, we create an invoice and
force an immediate payment for the invoice via the attached
payment method.
