• Product Name and Selling Price
  
  Each Product in Porta can be tagged to a monthly subscription fee, online sign-up, rate file or tariff, volume discount plan (or free minutes used for "unlimited plans").
  You need to advise us if the incoming minutes are free, how much you wish to charge your customers for destinations they are calling.
  All destinations are dialed by country code and number (e.164 compliant). There is no need to dial any access code.
  If you wish to have access codes, you can implement your own dialing plan by customer using the wizard in your reseller login.
  If you plan to restrict phone prefix or destinations that they can dial, we need to remove those destinations from the product tariff.
  
  
• Setting up your own Rate file or Tariff in your own currency
  You can download our wholesale tariff  found under your reseller login under tariff  (top left of menu bar "wholesale tariff") or from our website and update with your selling price and billing intervals.
  If you are not able to do this initially,  please update the spreadsheet with your sell rates and email us the file  (please ask support via ticket for the correct email address) and we will load it for you.
  You can also edit your tariff by going to tariff, rates and simply adding or editing the destination of your choice.
  
  
• Creating Customer and Device Accounts for Users
  Click on sub customer and click on add on top left.
  Please refer to help in every screen on top right of the page.
  Once you save, you can click on accounts on top menu bar and add your device accounts.
  You can create sub customers (billing) for managing your billing and allow access to our voip server via the private label voip web login.
  In Porta, each device account  is administered by the sub customer account for billing purposes.
  A sub customer account can have many device accounts. Callback, calling card, did, pbx extensions, on-net or virtual number, call shop, ATA device login etc are all simply "accounts" in Porta.
  Please do not confuse device accounts with customer accounts. 
  Customer Login  is used for billing and managing User or Device accounts.
  As such you can give access for customer  (http://customer.yourdomain.com ) or account (device - http://account.yourdomain.com) level. 
  Clients can login and make payments, view call history and manage all device accounts by logging using the customer account.
  You can change your device voip password used for device registration.
  Manage  your voice mail, auto attendant and many other settings.
  
  
  
• Online Sign-UP Form and API

• Post Paid Versus Prepaid Billing
  You can have porta  send out invoices for post paid services.
  Most resellers use the prepaid service and simply let their customers login and make payments as needed.
  You can enable periodic billing so that customers can automatically charge their card as needed (balance driven) or at a set date (date driven).
  
  
• DID Inventory
  Once the dids are uploaded, you can manage and provision them from your Porta Billing DID Inventory.
  DIDs must be ordered via our online api within the Porta Reseller Control Panel.

  This is server and device dependent. Porta supports certain Linksys/Cisco/Yealink/Grandstream and other major vendors. Please contact support.
  
  
• PortaUM or Hosted PBX Setup or Conferencing
  You will need to use either our dids or approved third party did providers for find-me, follow-me, voice mail, auto attendants and hosted pbx services. Please download PortaUM pdf from support download site.
  
  
• Calling Card Services
  You can use either our PortaUM for calling card services with PortaBilling.
  We will need to setup a private label did to use for your customers. Please contact support.
  
  
• Callback Services
  You can use either our PortaUM for call back services with PortaBilling.
