We will guide you step by step through the whole installation and configuration process.

Note: If you are still using any of Multibrand For WHMCS previous versions prior to v2.x, read about it here.

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

The content of PHP version files should look like this.

File is located in 'modules/addons/MultibrandFunctionality/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen. You can find your license key in your client area → 'My Products'.

Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Go to 'Setup' → 'Addon Modules'. Afterwards, find 'Multibrand' and press 'Activate' button.

To do so click on 'Configure' button, tick 'Access Control' near required admin role groups and press 'Save Changes'.

This folder are located in 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/Multibrand/' location.

This folders are located in 'your_whmcs/modules/' and 'your_whmcs/modules/gateways accordingly locations (do NOT mistake with the in the Multibrand addon location)

'invoicepdf_rename.tpl' file is located in 'your_whmcs/templates/six/' folder.
Simply, remove default 'invoicepdf.tpl' file from template folder and rename 'invoicepdf_rename.tpl' file to 'invoicepdf.tpl' in that folder.

Simply go to the 'Addons' → 'Multibrand'. But before you start using the module you still need to do an 'Integration Code'. It is required for correct logo branding and it should be done for all templates that you want to use with brands.
So go to the 'Utilities' → 'Integration Code' and follow the instructions given there, depending on the version of WHMCS and templates you are using.

Such migration functionality will be added in a future stable version. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Important: Due to module beta limitations, one of the brands configuration must be manually set to your main WHMCS domain. Simplification of this process will be solved in future editions.

Note: Once the configuration of your brand is complete, will still need to set up a CNAME DNS record before the brand is published (status - enabled).
This record will point from branded domain towards your main domain used by WHMCS. To learn more about setting up CNAME records, proceed to the Creating CNAME Records section.
Do not forget to publish the brand as soon as the CNAME record propagates worldwide.

In addition, you can see the current month revenue, total sale and last update of the brand.

First fill out brand's 'Email Address', 'Company Name' and 'TOS URL' . Next choose brand's 'Color', 'Ticket Departments' , 'Default Language', 'Template' and 'Order Template' .
Be sure that chosen template is integrated correctly with Multibrand (see the Integration Code section). Finally toggle 'Auto Client Assign' if you desire.
Here you can also manage brand publication 'Status' , but you should change it to 'Enable' only after you have configured the rest of the settings.
Do not forget to 'Save Configuration' .

Note: Currently new users created by admin or through API will not be assigned to any brand by default. This feature is coming in next releases.

• Invoice Branding - if enabled, the invoices will be branded with the number and basic information
• Invoice Pay To Text - address that is displayed on the invoice as the 'Pay To' details.
• Sequential Invoice Number Format - if invoice branding is enabled provided sequential invoice number format will be used
• Next Sequential Number - change this option only if you want to reset the automatic sequential numbering. Otherwise leave empty

Note: Remember to do the 'Additional Settings' step during module installation to make the PDF invoices also branded.

You can check the list of currently available gates in the Feature List.
If you would like in future releases, to see a payment gateway that is not yet available, please contact our support.

To add a configuration of a payment gateway press 'Add' button.

Save the configuration and activate the gateway.

Multibrand For WHMCS can work with any gateway that works within your WHMCS, the only limitation is that the other payment gateways use the same settings for all brands.

In addition you can set custom CSS email styling and header and footer content.

• If enabled, the template configured here will be sent using branded SMTP settings to the clients instead the one of configured in the main WHMCS template and configuration.
• If enabled but the template has not been yet configured, then the main WHMCS template will be sent instead, but with still branding applied.
• If disabled the main WHMCS template will be sent using main WHMCS SMTP configuration without any branding applied.

To start edit a branded template, simply press 'Edit' button.

In addition, you can also use the available merge fields tags just like in standard email templates. Save the changes after finishing.

If you would like to restore the default template, simply return to editing it and click the 'Delete Template' button.

To start, select the product, addon or domain tab and click on the 'Add' button. In the following example we will add the braning for product pricing.

You can also automatically fill in amounts from the main product and update them refreshing the currencies rate.

Note: Availability of billing cycles, prices and currencies to be edited depends on their main configuration in WHMCS.
If one of them is not available for branding, it means that there is no corresponding configuration in the main WHMCS.

In addition, you can manually manage, assign and unassign selected items to brand.
Don't forget to check the 'Branded Admin Area Functionalities' section, where you will find more brand relation management functionality outside the Multibrand addon.

Note: Currently there is no possibility of mass management, assigning and unassigning selected items to the brand. This functionality will be implemented in future releases.

Assignment takes place at the moment of client registration from the branded domain. You can also manually assign already existing customer to the brand or migrate to another.

Note: If 'Auto Client Assign' option is enabled then the customers who are already registered in one of the brands and try to log in to another brand, their will also be automatically assigned to it.
Therefore, one customer can be assigned to several brands at the same time.

In the open popup select the customer you want to add to the brand and press 'Save' .

Click 'Migrate' button next to the client and then select the brand to which you want to assign it.

These services are automatically added to the brand while ordering from the branded domain.

Press 'Add' button and then select the type and service you want to assign to the brand.

These invoices are automatically added to the brand after the order has been created from branded domain.

Press 'Add' button and select the invoice you want to assign to the brand.

These tickets are automatically branded after ticket has been opened in one of earlier branded departments.

Press 'Add' button and select the ticktet you want to assign to the brand.

In addition, you can find here statistics of views, useful points, number of votes and date of assignment to the brand.

In addition, you can find here download category, type, number od downloads and date of assignment to the brand.

In addition, you can find here date of announcement creation, assignment to the brand and published status.

You can filter them by date period and selected brands.

See the Branding Limitations section for more information. More admin area integrations are coming coon.

For example each brand domain can have a separate template, logo, language, services and invoices.
You can find more information about what functionality can be branded in the Features list.

If you have enabled branding of a given template, the email sent to the client will be sent using the mailbox specified in the SMTP settings of the given brand.
Additionally, the subject, logo, content and signature will also be branded accordingly. Here you can see an example of an order email.

For instance, if your branded domain is 'reseller.com' and domain with your WHMCS is 'whmcs.domain.com' , your CNAME will be 'www.reseller.com. CNAME whmcs.domain.com.'.
Note 1: As you can see above, each domain has to be closed with a dot.
Note 2: To learn more about certificate requirements, visit Common Problems section.

Only when you have parked your domains you can move to setting CNAME records on your panels. See the tips below.

Note: This step is required only if you own more than one domain.

Note: To define record's TTL, you have to use 'Advanced DNS Zone Editor'.

Note: Do not forget to place a dot at the end.

Afterwards, proceed to 'Websites & Domains' tab and press 'DNS Settings' .

Afterwards, proceed to 'Websites & Domains' tab and press 'DNS Settings'.

Finish by pressing 'Ok'.
Note: The changes will take between 4 to 8 hours to update worldwide.

If your branded domains or WHMCS domain are using SSL connection, all of them need to have the same certificate.
Certificate type required:

• Wildcard - if all brands and main WHMCS are using the same domain.
  
• SAN - if your brands and main WHMCS are using different domains.
  

This is due the way in which WHMCS works. It is not the limitation of our module.
Additionally, in order to fix connection support for secured connections, add the integration code shown below.
Edit 'configuration.php' located in the main WHMCS V7 directory and place following code at the end of the file.

require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/includes/MultiBrandSSLFixer.php';
$SSLFixer = new MultiBrandSSLFixer();
if($SSLFixer->shouldBeInSSL() || $SSLFixer->issetSystemSSLURL($db_host, $db_username, $db_password, $db_name))
  {    
      if(! $SSLFixer->isInSSL())
      {
          $SSLFixer->forceRedirect(true);
      }
  }
  else
  {
      if($SSLFixer->isInSSL())
      {
          $SSLFixer->forceRedirect(false);
      }
  }

For this reason, some of the functionalities in previous versions are not yet available, or are operating in a limited way.
These features will be successively restored in future versions. Here are some of the feeatures that are not currently being supported:

• Brand Details - a column with brands in admin area, displayed in souch places like clients and orders lists. Also branded details in client's profile.
• Login as Client to a Brand - action directly accessible from the client profile in admin area
• Create Invoice/Quote/Ticket in a Brand - action directly accessible from the client profile in admin area
• Choose Brand in particulary WHMCS sections - feature enabling direct brand selection on ticket, quote, announcement, download and knowledgebase view (currently only order and invoice view is supported)
• Product Bundle - not yet available for branding
• Brand Reports - the current statistics are limited
• Configurable Options Pricing - currently there is no possibility to set different pricing per prand for configurable options options
• Brand Previews - preview the client area of the brand is not yet implemented
• WHMCS V6 - Multibrand For WHMCS V2 will no longer support WHMCS V6 and template five

• Bridges - Multibrand For WHMCS does not support any kind of bridges (WordPress, Jomla).
• Link replacement - currently links are replaced with their branded counterparts with a visible delay.
  This is the only way we could do that for the time being.
  
• Clients Profile → Send Email - if you try to send an email template, a branded counterpart of which exists, you will receive an error.
  This is due to its branded counterpart being sent, while default email is blocked.
• Branded Quote → Duplicate - duplicating a branded quote results in receiving unbranded quote.
• Emails - not branded due to the lack of possibility to determine from which brand an email should be sent:
  • Affiliate Monthly Referrals Report
  • Clients Only Bounce Message

• WHMCS Modules
  • SMS Center For WHMCS - SMS sent to customers cannot be branded. Default set of SMS templates is sent to clients from all brands.
    
  • Resellers Center For WHMCS - this module is not yet compatible with our Multibrand For WHMCS module

• Others
  • Cloudflare - it is a service that will mask your server IP address.
    This is because they use their own DNS to resolve to one of their many reverse proxy servers and will cause incompatibility with Multibrand module.
    You may disallow the CloudFlare network to assume NS authority and don't become the intermediary between a user and your server, but then your Cloudflare service may become useless.

In order to use logo file provided in the 'Multibrand For WHMCS' module, find proper line at the template file and replace it with '{$logo}' variable.
The line responsible for a displayed logo is placed at the 'header.tpl' file located in a currently used template.

The second one is the domain on which you have your WHMCS. The redirection goes from the first domain to the second.
Dots after domains are also important.
Take note that there could be a delay with propagation of changes for DNS servers while using A type CNAME records.

If both of them are using the same domain, you will need a wildcard certificate.
If they are using different domains, secure them with the SAN certificate.
This is due to the way WHMCS works. It is not the limitation of our module.

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.

5. Multibrand For WHMCS module is not compatible with our Resellers Center For WHMCS.
There is no integration between these modules and we do not recommend using them together.
