Hi folks, My client is a service provider and wants to offer his clients to view their bills on his web site. So the his clients would only be able to view the bills, but they could not set up orders in the sense of a web shop. I looked around a bit and found only few possible options, one of them being the ecommerce module for drupal. I installed Drupal and the module and set it up as far I could so far. Now it seems to me that this billing system is hardly feasible with ecommerce. Am I right here, or do I just need to delve more into the module configuration?
Best regards, Christian

You say "view the bills" but you also want them to be able to pay the bills that they view online, right? EBPP (Electronic Bill Presentation and Payment) as it were.

Drupal very much supports paying online. I'm not sure if eCommerce currently works in the way you are looking for it, but it certainly does include billing.
Gordon Heydon [1] maintainer of eCommerce has set up a mailing list for ecommerce issues [2] where this might be more appropriate to discuss.
