Handling client billing for Webflow-built sites.

At a glance

The post discusses how agency owners handle billing for websites built on Webflow. The community members share two approaches: 1) Charge the client for the development, create a Webflow account for the client, and have the client pay for the hosting directly. The agency owner can then access the client's account as a guest. 2) Invoice the client annually for the hosting, and if the client doesn't pay, the agency owner can temporarily password-protect the site to get the client's attention.

How do agency owners handle sites built on webflow ? In terms of billing. I just realized client billing is gone . Client pay you plus dev cost then you pay to host ?

On my side I charge for the development of the site. Then, I create a Webflow account for the client with a tutorial so that he can activate and pay for the hosting himself. I transfer the project from my dashboard to theirs and I take care of putting it online. I add myself as a Guest and therefore have access to their account via mine. 🙏

yeah in some instances, you would invoice the client on a per annual basis, and then when the time comes to pay for the hosting, if the client hasn't paid, could shut down their website (which in some cases I would just put a password on their site which is enough to get their attention and easy to revert).

Its extra overhead to manage for sure, the other option is what Marc-Andre posted.

Thanks for the feedback folks !
