WHMCS Integration

6. Since cPanel does not natively support direct customer transactions, you can integrate Servertastic SSL For WHMCS to sell paid SSL certificates. Customers will be able to purchase certificate tokens through WHMCS, which they can then redeem to generate certificates in cPanel.

Instructions for installing the WHMCS provisioning module can be found in the Servertastic SSL For WHMCS documentation. Please follow the remaining steps as outlined in that guide once you're ready.

Common Problems

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