Billing

Workspace reference: GSP-WORKSPACE.md

Purpose

Commercial billing, provisioning, invoices, orders, transactions, coupons, and payment gateway integration.

Current Status

Functional
Partial / complex

Dependencies

Payment gateways
provisioning flow
server lifecycle and expiration logic
docs under Panel/modules/billing/docs/

Database Tables

billing_services
billing_orders
billing_invoices
billing_transactions
billing_coupons
billing_config
billing_paypal_webhook_events
billing_paypal_errors

Agent Interaction

indirect through provisioning and server lifecycle

User Workflow

shop/service purchase
invoice/payment flow
renewals
account/service status

Website Ordering Boundary

The active Gameservers.World website no longer links customers to billing/order.php. The public catalog uses Panel/modules/website/order.php?service_id=... as the order entry point. That page validates the enabled service server-side and sends logged-out users through website login before returning them to the intended service.

Payment approval and final provisioning remain server-side responsibilities. The browser must not call private provisioning methods directly, and prices must be read from server-side catalog data rather than query parameters.

In this repository checkout the historical Panel/modules/billing runtime is not present, although billing tables and integration references remain. The website order page therefore stops at validated order intent and support handoff until the active checkout/payment runtime is connected.

Admin Workflow

configure payment gateways
manage coupons and pricing
inspect invoices/transactions
manage provisioning behavior

Security Concerns

payment keys and webhook secrets
user identity and billing data
service suspension/expiration behavior

Known Issues

large and complex module surface
requires strong testing around provisioning lifecycle

Missing Functionality

cleaner linkage from billing events to server state
clearer expiration/suspension docs and UX

Suggested Future Improvements

simplify provisioning audit
add clearer service lifecycle feedback
link billing more directly to support and server monitor

Recommendation

Keep / Rewrite
