 Welcome to phpCOIN ~ a free WebWare package originally designed for web-hosting resellers to handle clients, orders, invoices, notes and helpdesk, but no longer limited to hosting resellers.
- phpCOIN is used by over thirty-five thousand people worldwide*, including web-hosts, designers, lawyers, accountants, and a school band.
- phpCOIN requires a webserver (apache, MS IIS, etc.), a MySQL v3.x.x or higher database, and php v4.1 or higher.
- Most questions about features are answered on the support forums or the online manual
- phpCOIN v1.4 began a major overhaul of the phpCOIN v1.x series code-base for readability, speed enhancements, and visual and operational consistency, and was our initial effort to ensure php v6 compatibility.
- phpCOIN v1.5 added supplier and expense tracking.
- phpCOIN v1.6 re-designed the arrangement of the "parameters" to be more intuitive, as well as adding several minor tweaks. It is intended to be the last release in the free phpCOIN v1.x series prior to the launch of the commercial phpCOIN v2.
- phpCOIN v1.6.3 revised the EULA to clarify your rights and obligations and costs (or lack of costs)
- You can login to a demo site of the current version (v1.6.5) as an admin or a client to see how the system works.
 This is the main phpCOIN website, used for tracking licenses issued.
Please do NOT place "test" orders on this site ~ use the demo site instead.
Those who ignore this request and place test orders on this site may have their IP address banned from this site.
- Clarifications:
- Price: phpCOIN version 1.x is 100% free of cost to use ~ although donations to help cover the time and expenses of running this site are appreciated.
- When it is available, phpCOIN v2 will be free to use for up to ten active clients, but more then ten active clients will require a fee.
- Free Support: Support via the support forums or the online manual is free, although you must sign-up to post. Most questions are already answered there, plus our users sometimes answer questions quicker than we can.
- Paid Support: If you contact us by fax or email, you will be billed $50 per question. If your question was already answered in the support forums or in the online manual or in the included documentation, the fee will increase to $100 per question, so please check the documentation and forums first. Sorry, but at the present time phone calls will not be accepted. If you choose to send us an email or use the "Contact Us" form, please include your credit card information, or your email will be ignored.
- Installation & Themes: Several users have created free themes and/or translations and/or other modules, and several will help you to install the package for free if you are having problems. Please see the support forums for details.
