Management

NIC IT Registrar module allows you to manage TLDs in your WHMCS system. In this short guide we will present you the possibilities of our module.

Management of TLDs

Adding new TLD is quite simple. To add it, go to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Domain Pricing' . Enter your TLD and choose 'NicIT' from 'Auto Registration' dropdown menu as shown on the screen below. Here you can also decide whether to offer your customers features like Email Forwarding or EPP Code. Then press 'Save Changes' .

As you can see 'Open Pricing' field has appeared. Click on it and set up your pricing.

In newly opened window you can set your prices. Remember to save the changes!

Voila! Now your customers can start ordering new .it domains.

Ordering

Ordering .it domain goes alike ordering other domains, with one important difference. During ordering your customers need to choose 'Legal Type' (Entity Type) and provide 'TAX ID' (VAT number). We will discuss Legal Types in details in the next section.

Management of Domain

This is how an ordered domain looks like in the WHMCS admin area. Here you can manage and modify domains according to your needs, like changing contact details or deciding whether to publish or not the personal data of domain owner. Worth mentioning is 'Request Delete' feature allowing you to request domain deletion instantly. Any domain which expired more than 10 days ago will be automatically removed by cron.

Now we will explain you how to correctly set Legal Type (Entity Type) and TAX ID (VAT number). Depending on the chosen Legal Type from 'Legal Type' dropdown menu, enter tax number in the 'TAX ID' field. For 'Italian and foreign natural persons' customer's address need to be set to Italy and field must contain a document number. For 'Non-profit organizations' field value must be set to 'n.a.' . For 'Non natural foreigners' enter VAT number in the previously mentioned field. For all other types, simply type VAT number or numeric tax code.

Tips

1. Deactivation of the module will remove your configuration settings at 'Domain Registrars' . 2. If a domain has 'Expired' status and it remains as such for 10 days, then such a domain is automatically deleted on the 10th by a cron job.

Common Problems

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

2. If one of the TLDs you have configured is unavailable, please make sure you have set up pricing in a default currency.

3. Problem with registering IDN domain may be caused by filling in already converted domain name. The solution is filling in a domain name in UTF8 form, module converts it on its own.
