Blesta White-Label Billing Setup (3-5 days)

This offer deploys a self-hosted Blesta instance for hosting agencies and MSPs, automating recurring billing, provisioning, and support with full white-label branding.

Prerequisites
  • Access to a VPS or dedicated server with PHP and MySQL support
  • A domain name and SSL certificate for the Blesta installation
  • Payment gateway credentials (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) for transaction processing
  • Client's branding assets (logo, colors, email templates)
  • Hosting panel credentials (cPanel, Plesk, or DirectAdmin) for provisioning integration
Execution Timeline

  • 2.Set up company branding in the admin panel (logo, colors, email templates)
  • 3.Configure payment gateway credentials and test transaction processing
  • 1.Create client services and billing rules, including recurring invoice schedules and late fees
  • 2.Integrate hosting panel (e.g., cPanel) to automate account provisioning on order
  • 3.Set up automated payment reminders and invoice delivery
  • 1.Configure the support ticket system with AI-powered auto-reply for routine queries
  • 2.Set up ticket routing rules for urgent issues
  • 3.Customize the client portal with white-label branding (remove Blesta footer link)
  • 1.Test end-to-end order flow: client orders, invoice generated, payment processed, account provisioned
  • 2.Train client staff on invoice management and ticket workflow
  • 3.Document admin procedures for ongoing operations
  • 1.Finalize white-label setup by removing all Blesta branding (Unbranded plan)
  • 2.Run a security check and apply patches
  • 3.Hand over credentials and provide a maintenance plan
License cost ranges from $17.95/mo (Branded) to $20.95/mo (Unbranded), plus server hosting and setup time.3-5 days
ROI Logic

At a $349/mo retainer, the agency's gross margin is high since the Blesta license is only $20.95/mo for the Unbranded plan. With 12 hours setup and 2 hours monthly maintenance, the agency earns roughly $150/hour, making this a profitable recurring service.

Deliverables
  • Fully deployed and white-labeled Blesta instance on client's server
  • Configured billing plans, payment gateway, and automated invoice schedules
  • Integrated hosting panel provisioning (e.g., cPanel) for automated account creation
  • AI-powered support ticket system with auto-reply and routing rules
  • Documentation and training materials for client staff
Definition of Done

The Blesta instance is live, white-labeled, and processing a test transaction with automated provisioning and support ticket automation verified.
