Currently when a customer upgrades a product/service the automatic module upgrade only takes effect once the customer has paid the related upgrade invoice.
What is needed is an optional settings so that the automatic module upgrade takes effect immediately after the customer has placed the order, even if they have not paid the invoice yet.
The reason that this is a problem is because many customers are on Debit Order which is run in monthly batches so their upgrade does not take effect until the next debit order batch, and upgrades are usually time very sensitive ...

This need is really useful.
I will explain the possible scenarios.
We always think of big companies using WHMCS, without really knowing the customer.
It often happens that this is not true.
Here we have customers who are really worthy of trust, so at times the customer has the hosting plan close to the capacity limit, or else already at 100%.
I call the customer, inform him of the problem and he says,
Oh Anderson, send me the invoice, but please get my site up and running again.
We care here if the website/customer emails are really working, so we have to perform the plan upgrade manually, it would be better if this was done when accepting the order, or else the invoice is paid.
There might be an option to resolve the issue for specific customers as well.
Thanks

So all product upgrades are just cancled because many payment methods needs a couple days to get paid.
And this is why we need to have the ability to choose for example on which payment methods the upgrade orders are automaticaly activated. Or even the ability to manually activate a product upgrade, without having to set the payment to the upgrade invoice.

Thanks for taking the time to supply your suggestion.
WHMCS does not support debit billing as standard, so I'd be intereted to learn more about the custom soltion you have in place, and the benefits you'd see for the feature for users without such a custom implementation?
