• Billing software will record the call details and the corresponding call charges for future reporting needs.

Postpaid

• Customer visits the call shop.
• Customer chooses a vacant phone booth and dials the destination number.

How to create a Call Shop?

1. You have to be Logged in as an admin or a reseller

2. Navigate to ADDONS - Call Shop:



3. Select the marked icon:



4. Fill the required fields and press "Create" button:

Name - the name for Call Shop

Manager's interface language - this will be the default language for Call Shop manager (the person who will accept payments, enables call booths, etc.)

Invoice details (as seen in the invoice header) - the information you will enter here will be displayed in the invoice

5. Now you have to assign some call boths, select the marked icon to do that:

6. Select a required user from dropdown box (marked with number 1) and press a marked button (marked with number 2):

Very important! You have to dedicate user's for call shop booths, that means you must not use these users anywhere else in MOR.

In this way add as many users as you need.

When there is no manager assigned in Call Shop when adding new call booth you will be offered to mark it as a manager. Please do so. If you skip this step you can mark a booth as a manager by pressing a marked icon:



Now you can see, that user's type was changed to manager and you can see a new icon: "Login as manager". You can use this icon to quickly access the manager's view to help him solve problems.

P.S. The manager has his own way to access his manager view. It will be covered shortly in this manual

How can manager access his management interface?

1. The manager has to enter the server address in his browser (the same way as you access MOR gui). Most commonly it would look like this: http://www.example.com/billing or http://x.x.x.x/billing, where x.x.x.x is an IP address.

2. In open window the manager has to enter his Login and Password:



3. If Login and Password is correct the manager is redirected straight to his manager interface:
