With this module, your resellers will be allowed to acquire their own customers and assign products, services and domains to them.
Thanks to that, end clients will be able to easily order services directly from your WHMCS.
Moreover, they will be able to log in to their own WHMCS account in order to manage their services, pay invoices or even create tickets.

No worries, we will guide you step by step through the entire installation process.

Note: If you are still using any of Resellers Center For WHMCS previous versions prior to v3.x, read about it here.

Note: You can check current PHP version in your WHMCS. To do so proceed to 'Utilities' → 'System' → 'PHP Info'.

Note: Version 3.x currently supports migration from version 2.5.x module and it will only transfer data on resellers, resellers' clients and resellers' groups.
Therefore, the other settings of the module need to be reconfigured manually.

To perform the migration simply overwrite old files to the latest version of the module and refresh the addon page in the admin area.

We will show you how to set up key options to ease the module's handling processes.

To do so, proceed to 'Pricing Groups' tab and click the button as shown below.

• Lowest Price - minimum price which can be set for a product

To confirm settings press 'Save' .

• Fixed Rate - profit that your reseller always gets

To confirm settings press 'Save' next to the product you have configured

Click a right button to add a new addon.

You can use it to assign any client to a reseller's group, that will activate them as resellers.
Click the button as shown below to create a new reseller.

Apart from clients, you can manage here also invoices, transactions and services.

Please note - this tab is only used if the 'Reseller Invoice' configuration is set to 'Disabled'.
Otherwise, the resellers settle debts with the administrator using prepaid WHMCS credits and payments made by end clients are credited to the reseller's account directly.

In 'Payouts' section, apart from looking at the details it is also possible to perform the following actions: pay by PayPal (1) or WHMCS Credits (2) and mark the transaction as completed (3).
'Mass Payments' section enables you to make mass payouts to all selected resellers at once. You can choose from PayPal Payment (4), WHMCS Credits Payment (5) and set up proper
PayPal Configuration (6) by providing PayPal Application Key and Secret - both found within your PayPal account.

The 'Reseller Documentation' tab enables you to create and modify documentation visible to specified resellers. The documentation provides guidelines to help resellers handle their panels with ease.
You can create documentation in multiple versions - to add a new one, simply click the '+' button. Press the appropriate button located at the 'Actions' column to manage already formed documentation:

Choose the resellers to whom the documentation will be visible, enter the name of the documentation and its content.
You can use HTML tags as well as attach a PDF version of your documentation.
Once ready, click 'Save' to save your documentation.

From now on, our resellers will be encouraged to read the documentation from the welcome page, when they enter the Reseller Area for the first time.
Reseller can hide the welcome page by pressing "Do not show again". Even then, the documentation is accessible from the menu:

Access to the Reseller Area is granted only to those clients, to whom reseller's groups are assigned in Resellers Center For WHMCS module.

It is possible to log in as a client (1), make an order for a client (2), view client's details (3) and delete a client (4).

Remember to save changes.

Remember, you can define prices only within limits shown as placeholders.
If pricing is not provided, product, addon or domain will not be available for your clients.
You can also get here a direct cart URL to products group that you can share directly with your customers.

Please note, that the available reseller configuration options may vary depending on the options you selected in the addon configuration and whether the 'Reseller Invoice' option was enabled for the reseller.

• For example: if 'Reseller Invoice' is disabled there will be an option to provide reseller PayPal email but reseller will not be able to configure available payment gateways on their own:

• However if 'Reseller Invoice' is enabled there will be an option to configure payment gateways by reseller or enable auto WHMCS invoice payments.

To edit an email template, press 'Edit' button next to the template you wish to alter.

Note: During this step you can easily add merge fields using dropdown menus marked on the following screen.

In this section, the reseller can set up their own payment gateway ('PayPal', 'Stripe' and 'Bank Transfer' gateways are currently available).
Thanks to this, all payments made by end clients are transferred directly to the reseller's PayPal account or bank institution.
The payments between the reseller and the administrator are settled through the reseller's previously supplied credit balance.

• If the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is 'Disabled', the listed invoices are generated between the end client and the site administrator.
• If the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is 'Enabled', the listed invoices are issued between the end client and the reseller directly.

Afterwards, when end client logs in to the WHMCS client area, he/she will be able to view and manage previously ordered products.
End clients can also list and pay invoices or create tickets (if these options are checked in the addon module).

Therefore, your reseller's clients can make orders on their own, using order forms in the client area.

It is only available for tickets department set in Resellers Center For WHMCS configuration.

Since version 3.x of the module end clients are treated as regular WHMCS clients.

In general Reseller receives a product from the Provider and then provides it further to the End Client.
Since the release of v3.0.0 the payment between the Reseller and Provider will be regulated by WHMCS credits but it can be also regulated manually or automatically to Reseller's PayPal account.

• If the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is Disabled, the listed invoices are generated between the end client and the site administrator.
• If the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is Enabled, the listed invoices are issued between the end client and the reseller directly.

To do so, create hidden product groups containing products available for resellers.
Afterwards, just assign the product group to the client group in your Resellers Center addon → 'Configuration' tab (assignment is shown on the 2nd screen of this section).

For example, reseller.com/main-whmcs-directory instead of reseller.com..
You can change that behaviour through adding the below code to .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^main-whmcs-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/whmcs-directory/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /whmcs-directory/$1 [R=301,L]

Result: If hostname is not main-whmcs-domain.com and path is not whmcs-directory', then redirect to resellers domain with /whmcs-directory.

3. Resellers Center For WHMCS is not fully compatible with our Multibrand For WHMCS module.
If you have Multibrand installed on you system as well, you may encounter some issues connected with configuring domains.

4. Please remember that Resellers Center For WHMCS works flawlessly with WHMCS V6 and V7 along with the officially supported Template 'Six'
In case you are using some custom template, you must be aware that unexpected errors might occur and we cannot take the responsibility for solving them.
