when you say his subscriber table, do you mean wi-fi subscriber table?
or he should have a voip subscriber table of his own?

By "his subscriber table' i mean the WIFI subscriber table. In addition, you will have voip table for your own use. So it is like,
- WIFI provider has wifi subscriber table
-VOIP provider has voip subscriber table.

what type of query will he run?

The query will be a simple SQL insert statement, which will insert the record into the VOIP subsriber table. It may be noted that there are two ways to do the insert.
1. The WIFI sends/redirects the insertion page after hsi wifi registration to the VOIP web'site inserion script.
2. The VOIP provider gives database access to WIFI provider to to the insertion. Here the VOIP insertion will be almost same as WIFI insertion, differing only in DB info.

I'm also not familiar with flags, i'll try to read more on that, but
basically what does that flag do?

FLAG here denotes a database BOOL field (it may be char, int whaterver, serving the same purpose), which will have two values,; one for your users, and another for the users in the table who are created 'from' the WIFI provider side.
For eg, Here you might set the default flag value as 0 (ZERO or OFF), and when you add a WIFI user record, set the flag in that case=1 (ON).

For Billing, create a cron script, which genertate a report of successful based on the following query
SELECT * FROM CDR WHERE flag=1 AND DISCONNECT_CAUSE='SUCESS'
(Of course, the above might differ from your chema) .
The generated report can be presented for billing to your WIFI provider.

when his user login to their wi-fi system the billing already starts,
meaning the credit already starts to go down, then on that duration he
decided he wants to make a phone call:

1. how can i make it in such a way that the username and password on his
card, will be the one configured on the phone (example an XPRO) that
will authenticate to mine (or maybe his subcriber table if that's what
you mean on number 1).

If the subscriber table you created is integrated with a radius server (freeqrduius?), and you are using an appropriate call flow route in ser.cfg, then the authentication will be automatic, no need to do anything extra.

2. next will be how can i send him the update of how much he has already
consume fo VoIP alone to deduct it to hisWi-Fi credit simultaneously
with his Wi-Fi usage?

See Answer 3. Here, automaitically, the charge you will present to him will be automatcally only for the charges incurred by your switch, irrespective of the fact that the subscirber was latched up to WIFI, dialup or whatever.
