Integrations

In this section you can create and manage integration modules which resellers will need to upload and activate to be able to resell domains you offer them. Press 'Add Integration' to begin.

To generate a new integration module you need to provide following data: Select the target platform for the submodule: WHMCS or Blesta Enter your module unique name Toggle on to allow downloading a file with additional fields required by the provider's registrar to register domains. Data typed in by End Clients will be correctly delivered by the provider to the domains' registrar. Learn more here. Type in a short description of the module, it will be visible on the activation page of the registrar Upload logo image, it will be visible on the activation page of the registrar Upload file with documentation if you have prepared any - you may use any format.

Newly created Integration will appear on the list. You may: Edit its details (change logo, description etc.) at any time Download domain additional fields Download documentation if any has been provided Download the integration package Delete the integration

In order to delete numerous integration at once, use the mass action button.

TLDs

Select TLDs from the available and press 'Confirm'. To learn more about available TLDs, please refer to the official documentation here.

Assigned TLDs will appear on the list, you may also preview here the registrar name of the TLD extension and pricing details. Press the 'Pricing' icon to set up your custom prices per TLD for resellers assigned to this group.

In the Set Pricing tab, you can set the domain pricing for each of the registration periods in each available currency per every active TLD for resellers. In addition, if you put: -1 (minus one) value in the chosen field, then it will be treated as disabled. E.g. provide -1 for transfer pricing to completely disable the possibility of domain transfers with that TLD. Important: If you provide -1 value for registration pricing, then the whole TLD will be treated as disabled, including transfer and renewal pricing. 0 (zero) value in the chosen field, then it will be treated as free. E.g. provide 0 for registration pricing if you want to offer the selected TLD for free, but with paid transfers and renewals. any value above 0 (zero) will be of course treated as paid.

If you want to set up the same prices for all TLDs in this group, simply use the mass action button to do it almost with one click. In the same way you may unassign numerous TLDs from the group.

Your group configuration is now ready. If you have more groups, repeat these steps for each of them. Remember that you may always edit the single group name or delete it if no longer needed. Just press adequate buttons to do so.

Keep in mind that you may never delete a group if there are any resellers assigned to the group. Before deleting it, you must choose an alternative group to which the resellers will be reassigned.

Important: In the case of integration with Blesta you also have to manually add all the TLDs to the registrar's "config" file, otherwise they will not be available in the dedicated platform. The 'config' file is located in: /Registrar_Name/components/modules/registrarname/config/registrarname.php.

Domains Reselling Workflow

Below you can find instructions for installation of the integration module on the reseller's WHMCS. Please refer to section Integrations to learn how to generate an integration module for your resellers.

An exemplary flow of installation and configuration of the integration module to resell TLDs on Blesta, can be found in Blesta official documentation.

1. Upload and extract the registrar module into your WHMCS. Once you have extracted the module, you should find a new folder with the registrar in 'resellerWHMCS/modules/registrars/' directory.

Extended TLDs Management - Integration With Domain Orders Extended For WHMCS

Domain Orders Extended For WHMCS allows quick and easy management of multiple TLDs that may turn out to be a fundamental tool for your resellers! In this part we are going to present how fluently these two modules may work together to gain the most from the integration.

The provider in 'Domains Reseller' module must have previously configured and set up the pricing for domains he wants to offer to a reseller.

Open your Domain Orders Extended For WHMCS addon module, move to 'Predefined TLD Sets' section and install the ones the provider has offered you to resell.

Come back to the 'TLDs Configuration', find your group with newly assigned TLDs and define pricing for each of them. To make it faster, select all TLDs and use a mass action button.

It is time to quickly set up the pricing, do not forget to define higher prices that the provider has stated in your Reseller Area to assure incomes! Save the changes once ready. You can find more information about the pricing in Domain Orders Extended For WHMCS here.

Select all TLDs the same way you did earlier and 'Edit TLDs Configuration'. There, find 'Overwrite Registrar' option and toggle it. A dropdown menu with available registrars will appear. Select the integration module delivered by your provider.

Most importantly, the offer can be now extremely client-friendly due to a high range of selection of Domain Orders Extended domain registration forms including: Lagom theme General Category View Multi Category View List View

There is surely a solution for resellers who do not own Domain Orders Extended module yet. They will simply have to add and set up each TLD separately at the 'System Settings' → 'Domain Pricing', which may be time consuming. That is why we highly recommend using the modules together to manage the time optimally.

As you can see, integrating of Domains Resellers For WHMCS with Domain Orders Extended For WHMCS allows you to offer vast array of TLDs with ease. A win-win situation with benefits for all: you expanding and perfecting your offer, your resellers managing the TLDs and surely for the end-clients enjoying the final outcomes!

End Client Area

Domains Reseller integration module allows end clients to register, transfer and renew domain as well as run standard actions on domains. WHMCS Client Area view with an ordered domain via integration module.

Sample Workflow

In this section we will present to you a sample workflow of the module. In a basic workflow 3 users take part: Provider – a person with Domains Reseller For WHMCS installed on the WHMCS system. Reseller - a provider's client who aims at reselling TLDs offered to him by the provider. The reseller must own a system with integration module generated for him by the provider with Domains Reseller For WHMCS. End Client – a person with a client account in the Reseller's system (WHMCS, Blesta or others). Provider's Part Let us start from the beginning. Provider installs Domains Reseller For WHMCS in the system. He already has some TLDs in the offer and wishes to allow the reseller to resell them. Now, the provider configures Domains Reseller For WHMCS, creates groups, configures them and assigns TLDs and defines their pricing for the reseller who is assigned to one of the groups. Finally, selects which of the clients will become resellers, assigns them to previously created groups and generates access details. Reseller Part The Reseller has access to the Reseller Area once logged into the provider's client area. There, he can download both the integration module and its documentation as well as generate and copy any API details required to activate the integration module in his own system. Then, the reseller needs to set up TLDs that the provider allows him to resell with the integration module delivered by the provider. Defines the pricing (prices must be higher than the ones the provider has set up to generate any income). There is one step that separates the reseller from offering the domain from his system. The reseller must add funds to his credit balance in the provider system to be able to pay off the charges and settle the amounts owed to the provider for his resold TLDs . Provider creates an 'add funds invoice' for the Reseller, the Reseller pays the invoice and then again the Provider adds the same amount to Reseller's credit balance. From now on, any domain can be ordered. End Client End Client orders a domain from his client area in the Reseller's system. Last Word About Payment Now, that the End-Client has ordered and paid the reseller for the domain, at the provider's system a new invoice for that domain is created automatically (on behalf of the reseller). Depending on the selected "Payment Type" configuration the invoice will be paid with credits and domain attempted to be registered or attempt to register the domain and if successful, the invoice will be paid with credits. In case the reseller does not have sufficient credits on his account to pay for the domain registration the process is stopped until the invoice is manually paid by the reseller. The reseller's income is the difference between the price of the sold domain to the End-Client and the price he paid to the provider.

Domains Reseller Product

Domains Reseller For WHMCS module may also be configured as a provisioning module. You will have to create a new product that will be offered to purchase for resellers. This simple trick will allow you to skip the manual configuration of all resellers. The process will be automatized once the reseller orders such product. Follow the steps below to create and configure the Domains Reseller product: 1. In order to create a new Domains Reseller product, go to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Products/Services'. Press 'Create New Group' to add a new one.

2. Fill in a product group name and press 'Save Changes'.

3. Next, add a new product in the previously created group.

4. Set the product type to 'Other', name the product and assign it to the Domians Reseller module.

5. Now, go to the 'Module Settings' section and choose one of the previously created in the addon groups of resellers from dropdown menu. Press 'Save Changes' . Note that there is no server that shall be selected. Your product is ready to order!

Allowed actions on the product: Create - once a client orders the product, go to Client's Products/Services and run the 'Create' action. When successful, the client appears on the list of resellers in your addon (see the screen below) Suspend - after successful Suspend action in the Client's Products/Services, the ' API Key Status ' of this reseller is switched off Unsuspend - run 'Unsuspend ' command to again switch on the reseller's 'API Key Status ' Terminate - when the product is terminated, the Reseller's 'API Key Status' is again switched off

Addon view:

Once any of your clients orders this product, they will automatically become resellers. They will get access to 'Reseller Area', where from they can resell the domains, that belong to its pricing group, further.

Tips

1. If your reseller gets an error 'Unable to register domain, please contact administration (license problem).', that means your license is invalid or expired.

2. Make sure that you are not blocking access to the 'api' catalog by your '.htaccess' file.

3. Domains Reseller For WHMCS enables you to resell your domains not only to WHMCS and Blesta systems. You are able to easily prepare registrar module for any system (HostBill, Clientexec, BoxBilling and many more) using Domains Reseller For WHMCS API. All you need is knowledge of for example PHP programming language and our module's API.

4. If a client buys a domain from the reseller and pays in a different currency than the reseller's default currency then the amount will be converted into the reseller's default currency basing on the 'Base Conv. Rate' (your WHMCS → System Settings → Currencies).

Update Instructions

Essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here. Please be aware that when updating from version 1.x. to 2.0.0 of the module no data are migrated! All the resellers and their configuration will need to be set up from the beginning. Keep in mind there is a quick and easy option in our client area that will let you upgrade the license of your module to an open source version at any time - and at a lower price! To take advantage of it, simply use the License Upgrade button located on the product's page and a discounted invoice will be generated automatically.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.

2. In the case of problems with connection between the main WHMCS and the reseller's module, make sure the firewall does not interfere with: the reseller's WHMCS server the provider's server

3. Error 'Function Not Supported by Registrar Module' means that registrar on main WHMCS does not support the operation you were trying to do.

4. Error: 'Provided domain has not been found in reseller account' Explanation: The Domains Reseller For WHMCS module does not support the "Transfer Ownership" action. If you attempt to transfer a domain between WHMCS clients (resellers), the above error will appear. Solution: Transfer the domain between resellers manually at the database level. To do so, execute the following command: UPDATE `DomainsReseller_ResellerRelations` SET `resellerid` = (SELECT id FROM `DomainsReseller_Resellers` WHERE `clientid` = :newClientID) WHERE relid = :domainId and type = 'domain'; Where: clientid - ID number of a WHMCS client (a reseller) to which a domain has been transferred relid - ID number of the transferred domain based on the data from WHMCS system activity log. For example: UPDATE `DomainsReseller_ResellerRelations` SET `resellerid` = (SELECT id FROM `DomainsReseller_Resellers` WHERE `clientid` = 3804) WHERE relid = 5176 and type = 'domain'; Based on system activity log data:

5. Error: 'Provided domain has not been found in reseller account' Explanation:When the above error is returned by the API for any reseller domain action, it means that the order for this domain was added by default by WHMCS and not by the API of the module (reseller functionality). Solution: The domain should be additionally imported to the reseller manually.
