xBilling - Query on Service Plan / settings

xBilling - Query on Service Plan / settings
Hi all,

I am a newbie on Sentora + xBilling.  I am running it well but I have a number of questions when trying to use.

I. Service Plan
Is it possible to have different pricing like BASIC / Advanced / professional?

Service Plans are directly linked with time and fixed price.  Is it possible to have different pricing like:
1. Basic plan as US$12 / 12 months
2. Advanced plan as US$36 / 12 months
3. Professional plan as US$50 / 12 months

II. Settings
There are some terms could not be easily understood during settings.

1. at payment method, there is IPN_URL (notify URL) for payal.  i am not sure whether the exactly meaning (likely the URL to exchange message with Paypal).  There is a form example in the same page.  What should I put in this box?

2. xBilling Frontend
For the xBilling Frontend, I would like to put /var/sentora/hostdata/zadmin/public_html/billing .
I try to type testhost.domain.net/billing/
However, it shows me 404 - file not found.

Also, I am not sure where I should put these frontend files for installation.

Thanks in advance

Willie

You enter the URL where your billing front end is installed and add ipn_listener.php (ex: http://testhost.domain.net/billing/ipn_listener.php)

Confused  You would put the billing front end files here: /var/sentora/hostdata/zadmin/public_html/testhost_domain_net/billing/

Thanks for the prompt response.

For the multiple pricing for the same period, I can't really build it.
At least, I can't create more than 1 plan with the same period - say 12 months.
How can I bill more for a plan with 10 mySQL database (compared to a plan with only 1 mySQL database)

 After reading what TGates suggested, I find that xbilling isn't an option for multiple tiers.

 You're forced to set only 1 price per duration (ie 1 month). So, if you had different tiers of service ie:
Silver
Gold
Plat.

They'd all be at the same fixed price per month instead of :
Silver @ 2.99 p/m
Gold @ 4.95 p/m
Plat. @ 9.95 p/m

Confused  You are incorrect... You can set different prices for different tiers and packages. Re-read my post and view the images...especially steps 2 and 3.
