Installation

This tutorial will show you how to successfully install and configure Multibrand For WHMCS.

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.

Installation

1. Log in to your client area and download the module.
MB2 1.png
2. In the downloaded file you will find two packages that support different PHP versions.
As presented on the screen below, the first one is dedicated to PHP 7, while the second one is aimed at PHP 5.4 up to PHP 5.6.
It does not apply to open source versions.

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

MB2 2.png
3. Extract the downloaded file and choose the one with the right PHP version. Upload and extract the PHP file into the main WHMCS directory.

The content of PHP version files should look like this.

MB2 2 2.png
4. When you install Multibrand For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename 'license_RENAME.php' file.

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

MB2 3.png
5. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit a previously renamed 'license.php' file.

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'.

Activating Addon Module

6. Now you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system.

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

MB2 5.png
7. In the next step you need to allow to hooks beeing enabled and permit access to this module.

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

MB2 6.png

Additional Settings

8. Now, set up the 'storage' folder as recursively writable (with all subfolders).

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

MB2 7.png
9. You will also need set up 'gateways' and 'callback' folders as writable.

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)

MB2 7 0.png
10. The next step is replacing 'invoicepdf.tpl' file with 'invoicepdf_rename.tpl' for each of the templates used.

'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.

Integration Code

11. Now you can access your Multibrand For WHMCS module.

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 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.

MB2 8.png
12. And that's all! You have now completed the installation of the module.

Migration

In the current beta 2.0.0 version, it is not possible to easily migrate data from 1.8.X to 2.X module version.

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

Configuration and Management

In this section we will show you how to properly set up and use Multibrand For WHMCS.

Brands

Under 'Brands' tab you can create and manage your brands using a single instance of WHMCS solution.

New Brand

Let's start by creating a new brand. For that purpose go to 'Brands' tab and press 'Add a new brand' MB2 Plus.png button.
MB2 10.png
Fill out brand's 'Name' and 'Domain' with desired values, and press 'Save' button.
MB2 11.png
Your first brand will be created. Next press the 'Edit' ' MB2 Edit.png action button.
MB2 11 1.png
You will be moved to the brand configuarion, where you can manage all brand's information and settings.
MB2 11 2.png

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.

Brand Information

In the Brand Information window, you can edit the brand name, domain name and custom logo.

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

MB2 9.png

Settings

In this window you will be able to configure all the most important settings of your brand, including billing, payment gateways, SMTP and email templates configuration.

General

In general settings you will configure the main brand options.

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: Only published brands can be set as default. New users created by admin or through API will be assigned to the default brand.

Billings

In billing settings you can configure the appearance of your invoices.
  • 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.

MB2 12.png

Payment Gateways

This tab allows you to configure payment gateway for the brand which will work independently of that configured in WHMCS.

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.

Note: You may still use any other payment gateway that is active in your WHMCS system. These gates will have a (WHMCS) mark in the dropdown list.
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.

To add a configuration of a payment gateway press 'Add' MB2 Plus.png button.

MB2 13.png
Next choose the desired gate from the list and press 'Confirm' button.
MB2 14.png
Finally fill the payment gateway settings, according to the details received from the provider.

Save the configuration and activate the gateway.

MB2 15.png

SMTP

If you would like to use for this brand a different outgoing mail configuration than the main WHMCS settings, you can do so in this tab.

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

MB2 16.png

Email Templates

In this window you can set up each branded email template in five available categories.

If enabled, the template configured here will be sent to the branded clients instead the one of configured in the main WHMCS template settings.

To start edit a branded template, simply press 'Edit' MB2 Edit.png button.

MB2 17.png
Next, enter the desired subjecty and message content. You can also add them in several languages.

In addition, you can also use the available merge fields tags. Save the changes after finishing.

MB2 18.png
Finally toggle edited template to enabled and save configuration. Next to the edited template you will see the 'Branded' label.

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

MB2 19.png

Services Pricing

In this section you can configure separate prices for products, addons and domains .

To start, select the product, addon or domain tab and click on the 'Add' MB2 Plus.png button. In the following example we will add the braning for product pricing.

MB2 20.png
Select the product for which you want to set branded prices and click 'Save' .
MB2 21.png
Next open the pricing editor for the choosen product.
MB2 22.png
Here you can configure the desired prices in selected billing cycles and currencies.

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.

MB2 23.png
From now on, the pricing for this product will be branded. In the same way, you can also configure pricing for the addons and domains.

Relations

In the relations section you can see which Clients, Services, Invoices, Knowledgebase, Downloads and Announcements are assigned to this brand.

In addition, you can manually manage, assign and unassign selected items to brand.

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.

Clients

In the clients tab you can see customers who are assigned to the brand and the date on which they were assigned.

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 the customers are already registered on one of the other brands and trie 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.

MB2 24.png
To assign an exiting client to the brand, press 'Add' MB2 Plus.png button.

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

MB2 25.png
You can also migrate the customer from this brand to another one.

MB2 26.png
And finally, if you want to delete the customer relationship with this brand, press the 'Delete' MB2 Delete.png button and confirm the action.

Services

In the Services tab you can see which products, additions and domains have a relationship with this brand.</br>

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