This is a continuation of series on “Different Uses of WordPress”. Previously I have covered:
- Part 1 – WordPress as Job Board and e-Commerce Site

- Part 4 - WordPress as Social Network Site & Contact Manager

In this post we will be looking at two more uses of WordPress.
WordPress as Invoice Management System
-
WP Invoice lets you send itemized invoices to your clients through your blog’s Admin Panel. The plugin ties into WP’s user management database to keep track of your clients and their information.
.
Credit card payments may be accepted via Authorize.net, MerchantPlus’ NaviGate, or PayPal. For recurring billing the plugin uses Authorize.net’s ARB API that will allow you to setup payment schedules along with invoices.

I tried it but I get a nasty sql error, I contacted the developer, hopefully I’ll hear from them soon. Thanks for the post, this plugin, once is working, looks great.
The plugin looks great, will try it out
Wp[ invoice is excellent for starting a membership subscription site.
Excellent post! I didn’t know that this kind of action was possible already for WordPress. It’s great to see the system being used to so many degrees. One of my favorite WordPress modifications is the WP Review Site (which I see you have covered). Keep up the good work :)
Seems great will try out thanks
good. We would like to have some more beautiful wordpress templates for downloads. Hope you ‘ll upload. I ‘ll visit later
Auction – interesting plugin for wordpress.
Interesting plug’in, thanks.
I didn’t realize you could do this on your web-page. That is pretty cool. I would think this would be a great way to do a charity auction on your blog. Even though it is not free it is a great feature to have!
I also tested it but I get a nasty sql error, I contacted the developer, hopefully I’ll hear from them soon.
it quite interesting.
He-he, to arrange your own auction, is a great idea!
WordPress must surely rate as the ultimate platform to develop custom applications on. Everything from content management systems throug to invoice management and even auction sites now. Who is going to pose a challenge to WordPress in the years to come? Right now they seem pretty unassailable!
Are there no limits to the functionality of wordpress? This plugin might not be for free, but at $40 odd you get some serious features. Who could’ve thought an invoice & auction management system can be had for so little money?
This post is very good for me.. i can get many tips and trick on this blog.. thank’s for u’r information my friend! this is my first time to visiting to your blog..
this is different. Never know anything about this one. Thanks. Good post.
ehm. This is interesting. Looks like wordpress can be anything.
invoice? what will they think of next? this could be very useful for me though, I’ll have to download it and try it out.
thanks!
Interesting plugin, thanks for share.
WP Invoice management is awesome. I was not aware of it, and its merely my ignorance, I never tried to have the management of the invoices through my WordPress blog. Thanks for this invaluable piece of information. Its really appreciated.
great looking plugin , well worth the $39 if you are looking to add auctions to your blog
