This feature request is not only directed at EasyBlog although I sell it more than any other so I figured this was a good place to ask. The problem I have is (so far) none of my clients want to take the time to maintain their StackIdeas accounts and so I am the caregiver for multiple accounts here. What would be ideal is to have a portal where I could purchase and manage multiple accounts from one interface.

I have a few clients who have let their subscriptions expire, or rather I dont get notified that they are set to expire because the email is not my own but I am still being held responsible to renew the subscription.

If you guys can see there are more of us with the same issue it would be awesome if you could somehow setup a way that we could manage all these clients easily and see which ones are getting ready to expire, alert us so that we can collect the payments and renew them. A way to manage multiple APIs and really everything for these multiple accounts would be the coolest thing and maybe other developers that have limited paid subscriptions would take notice and start doing it.

The fact is I really want to support the developers but it is almost easier to not worry about it sometimes and just install with a single API and deal with the issues on my own as they come up rather than hassle with 50+ different logins. I know it is wrong and I am a huge proponent of ensuring those that create these cool things for Joomla have the cash flow to continue. I know there are low ballers out there that only make one purchase and sell it on multiple sites (shame on all of you that do this) but maybe they would be more inclined to support you if the process was easier to manage I don't know? Granted there are scumbags that wont but there are always going to be the ten percenters that are worthless...

Anyone else that reads this and feels my pain, please chime in and lets see if there is enough of an interest in this to get the StackIdeas team to build us something awesome to manage our clients...
Hello Kevin,

Hm, yeah I totally understand your frustrations and I do agree with you on this. We did actually thought about building a reseller interface for this so you could manage your client's licenses but this would actually take quite a bit of our time to build this ourselves. Perhaps temporarily, what you could do is to write to us manually at https://crm.stackideas.com/ while we try to push the reseller interface out?

Thanks Mark, really I am looking for convenience but I know you guys have to see demand to make it convenient for you and a worthwhile task. I can see the big undertaking it would be to build a full blown reseller interface. You know all I really need is a way to make the purchase, get an API for it and a field where I can add what domain it goes to. If you could setup a way to maybe hook the API and that field together for the update and a way to email me instead of my client when a subscription is about to expire that is all I would need.

You might see a market for something like this that other developers could purchase from you so that they could offer it for their extensions. I know a number of extensions and template clubs I use that could really benefit from something like this.
