# 📋 ISP Billing System Documentation



## 1. Introduction 🚀



The ISP Billing System is an all-in-one solution for managing and automating essential operations for an Internet Service Provider (ISP). This system is designed to improve efficiency by handling WiFi package management, customer registration, payment tracking, and usage monitoring. 



It consists of two main interfaces:

- **Admin Panel**: For ISP administrators to manage packages, users, and payments.

- **User Panel**: For customers to purchase packages, view usage, make payments, and track their account.

The database stores essential information related to users, packages, payments, and configurations. Key tables include:



- `users`: Stores user profiles and login credentials.

- `packages`: Holds details about WiFi packages, such as speed, price, and duration.

- `payments`: Records payment history, including amount, status, and date.

- `admin_settings`: Holds system settings for configurations by admins.

## 6. Technology Stack 💻



The ISP Billing System leverages the following technologies:

- **Backend**: PHP for server-side logic.

- **Database**: MySQL for data storage.

- **Frontend**: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for UI and interactivity.

- **Chart.js**: For creating visual graphs in the dashboard.

## 7. Installation and Setup 🔧



1. **Clone the Repository**: Clone the ISP Billing System repository to your local machine.

2. **Database Setup**: Import the SQL file provided in the `database` folder to create tables.
