Web design billing software for British Columbia
Recurring invoices for hosting + maintenance retainers, one-off project invoices, payment plans for build phases — and a portal where clients see their domain, hosting plan, and next-renewal date without you fielding the email.
Why British Columbia matters for web design + hosting agencies
BC's combined 12% rate is friendlier to retail margin than Ontario or the Atlantic provinces. Vancouver anchors the tech-adjacent agency market.
British Columbia stacks 5% GST + 7% PST = 12% combined. PST applies to most marketing services in BC (unlike Alberta which has no provincial tax), but several specific exemptions exist — agencies should verify with a Canadian accountant if you're unsure.

Web design + hosting agencies we work best with in British Columbia
- You resell WP Engine, Kinsta, Cloudflare, or Hostinger to clients on top of design retainers.
- You charge for builds in phases (design / dev / launch) and want clients to pay each milestone via card or ACH.
- You're sending invoices from QuickBooks or Stripe Invoices and getting tired of the polish gap.
- You want recurring hosting/maintenance to be auto-charged so you stop chasing.

FAQ — Web design billing in British Columbia
Is HubWho a good fit for web design + hosting agencies in British Columbia?+
Yes. HubWho works the same in British Columbia as it does in every Canadian province — CAD-native invoicing, 5% GST + 7% PST = 12% combined-aware via Stripe Tax, PAD bank pulls via Plaid, and a white-label customer portal under your agency's brand. The per-client margin report + auto-draft + dunning sequences are identical to the US surface.
How does HubWho handle British Columbia sales tax?+
British Columbia applies 5% GST + 7% PST = 12% combined. HubWho's tax-engine selector (Settings → Billing Policy) routes to Stripe Tax for per-line jurisdictional accuracy, OR uses a static 12.0% rate from lib/canada-geo-data.ts for agencies that prefer manual tax. Stripe Tax is recommended for cross-province client books.
Can British Columbia web design + hosting agencies bill US clients in USD?+
Yes — Stripe Connect supports cross-border CAD↔USD invoicing. Set the invoice currency per-client. The end-client sees the invoice in their currency; you settle in yours. Exchange-rate conversion fees show line-by-line so margin stays auditable.
Can I bill in phases for a fixed-price build?+
Yes — payment plans split a single invoice into N monthly installments. For phased project billing, create a separate invoice per phase ('Design $4k', 'Dev $8k', 'Launch $2k'). Each gets its own pay link + auto-draft option.
Does HubWho integrate with WP Engine / Kinsta / Cloudflare?+
Direct integrations are on the roadmap (Q4 2026). Today the workflow is: add each hosting plan as a HubWho product (with wholesale cost) and attach it to client subscriptions. Auto-draft monthly. Per-client margin reports show which hosting wholesale deals are actually profitable.
