[edit] 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 still use any of Multibrand For WHMCS previous versions prior to v2.x, read about it here.

[edit] Installation

1. Log in to our client area and download the module.

2. In the downloaded file you might find one or two packages that support different PHP versions.

In the most recent versions of the module, you will find only one package that supports PHP 7.2 and later.

Previous updates of the module may contain two packages dedicated to various PHP versions.

The first one that supports PHP 5.6 up to PHP 7.1, and the second one addressed to PHP 7.2 up to PHP 7.4.
Note: Keep in mind that PHP versions 5.6 up to 7.1 are no longer officially supported and their security issues are not fixed or released any more. Find more info here.

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

3. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory.

The content of the package to upload should look like this.

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

The file is located in 'modules/addons/Multibrand/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'.

5. In order to configure your license key, you have to edit the 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 our client area → 'My Products'.

[edit] 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'. Afterward, find 'Multibrand' and press the 'Activate' button.

7. In the next step, you need to enable the hooks and grant access to this module.

To do so, click on the 'Configure' button, go to the 'Access Control' area and check the required group of administrators. Press 'Save Changes'.
If you want users to keep their access to the addon's features throughout various WHMCS sections (e.g. support tickets), but limit access to the module addon
make sure to uncheck 'Admin Area Addon View' and check the 'Access Control' field at the same time.
'Available Brand Login' - if selected, a client who uses the URL to a brand they do not belong to, they will be automatically logged into the first brand to which they are assigned

Note: When it comes to the 'Admin Addon View', despite having this box unchecked for the administrator, all the hooks will still work as intended.
Same scenario does not apply to the 'Access Control' field which is strictly related to the hooks functionality.

[edit] Additional Settings

8. Now, set up the 'storage' folder with its subfolders as recursively writable.

This folder is available at 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/Multibrand/' .

9. You will also need to set up 'gateways' and 'callback' folders as writable.

The 'gateways' folder is located in 'your_whmcs/modules/' and the 'callback' folder in 'your_whmcs/modules/gateways' (do NOT mistake the folders with those located in the Multibrand addon)

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

The 'invoicepdf_rename.tpl' file is located in the 'your_whmcs/templates/six/' folder.
Just rename the default 'invoicepdf.tpl' file to 'invoicepdf.tpl_old' and rename the 'invoicepdf_rename.tpl' file to 'invoicepdf.tpl' in the same folder.
Proceed with 'quotepdf.tpl' file in the very same way as with 'invoicepdf.tpl' files.

[edit] Integration Code

11. You can now access your Multibrand For WHMCS module.

Simply go to 'Addons' → 'Multibrand'. But, before you can start using the module, you still need to set up the 'Integration Code'. It is required for the correct logo branding and it should be done for all brand templates that you want to use.
The integration mechanism is very easy. Go to 'Utilities' → 'Integration Code' section of the module and follow the instructions given there, depending on the version of your WHMCS and the templates you use.
Note: Integration code may differ according to the module version you are using and be different for previous versions of WHMCS. Underneath, you can see the latest integration code.

12. And that is all, you have completed the installation of the module.

[edit] Configuration and Management

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

[edit] Brands

In the 'Brands' tab you can create and manage your brands using a single instance of the WHMCS platform.

Note: If you have not used any of previous Multibrand versions before, after the module's activation, the first brand will be created automatically by default based on the main settings of your WHMCS.

[edit] New Brand

Let us start by creating a new brand. For that purpose, go to the 'Brands' tab and press 'Add a new brand'

button.

Fill out the brands's 'Name' and 'Domain' with desired values and press the 'Save' button.

Your first brand is ready. Remember that you can duplicate your brands at any time.
Next, click the 'Edit' '

action button.

You will be moved to the brand configuration area, where you can manage your brand's information and settings.

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

[edit] 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's revenue, total sales and the last update.

[edit] Settings

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

[edit] General

In the general settings, you will configure the main options of a brand.

First, fill out the brand's 'Email Address', 'Company Name' and 'TOS URL' . Next, choose the brand's 'Color', 'Ticket Departments' , 'Default Language', 'Template' and 'Order Template' .
Optionally, you can provide a branded 'System URL' if your WHMCS installation shall be accessed based upon the location of the files on your webserver and not from your branded domain.
Also, make sure that the chosen template is integrated with Multibrand correctly (see the Integration Code section).
Finally, you can toggle 'Products/Services Branding', 'Price Override' and 'Auto Client Assignment' if you wish to.
Allow clients to freely switch between brands they are assigned to, by enabling the 'Brand Switcher' - a new option i the navigation menu in the client area will appear.
You can also manage the current status of your brand here, but you should change it to 'Enabled' only after you have configured the rest of the settings.
Do not forget to press 'Save Changes' .

Important: Every brand must have its dedicated ticket department assigned. Please create in your WHMCS support ticket departments with branded email addresses, that is associated with the brand domain.
Note: If you want to add a new user through API you have to use the 'brands' parameter. This parameter must be an array, for example: 'brands' => array(5)

[edit] Billings

In the 'Billing' settings, you can configure the design of your invoices.

Invoice Pay To Text - the address displayed on the invoice as the 'Pay To' details.
Proforma Invoice - in enabled, only paid invoices will be marked with a sequential number.
Invoice Number Branding - if enabled, the invoices will be branded with the number and basic information.
Zero Invoices Number Branding - If enabled, invoices with total 0 will receive another brand number.
Sequential Invoice Number Format - if invoice branding is enabled, the 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.
Brand Currencies - you may choose the currencies that will be supported by the brand.
Default Currency - set the default currency that will be displayed for clients that are not logged in.

Note: Remember to complete the 'Additional Settings' step during the module's installation to render the PDF invoices branded as well.

[edit] Payment Gateways

This tab allows you to configure a payment gateway for the brand operating independently of the one configured in WHMCS.

You can check the list of the currently available gateways in the Feature List.
If you are interested in using a payment gateway that is not yet available, please contact our Support Team and we will try our best to implement it in the future releases.

To add a new payment gateway configuration, press the 'Add' button.

Next, choose the desired gateway from the list and click on the 'Confirm' button.

Finally, fill out the payment gateway settings according to the details received from the provider.

Save the configuration and activate the gateway.

Note: Multibrand For WHMCS can work with any gateway available within your WHMCS system. These gates will have a (WHMCS) label.

The only limitation is that these payment gateways use the same settings for all brands.

[edit] SMTP

If you would like your brand to use an outgoing email configuration which is different from the one in the main WHMCS settings, you can do it here.

In addition, you can set your custom CSS email styling as well as the header and footer content.

Note: Please remember that the following merge fields can be used for 'Email Header Content' as well as 'Email Footer Content' .

Company Name	{$company_name}
Domain	{$company_domain}
Logo URL	{$company_logo_url}
WHMCS URL	{$whmcs_url}
WHMCS Link	{$whmcs_link}
Marketing Unsubscribe URL	{$unsubscribe_url}
Marketing Optout URL	{$email_marketing_optout_url}
Marketing Optin URL	{$email_marketing_optin_url}
Signature	{$signature}
Full Sending Date	{$date}
Full Sending Time	{$time}

[edit] 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 clients using the branded SMTP settings instead of the ones configured in the main WHMCS template and configuration.
If enabled, but not configured yet, the main WHMCS template will be sent with branding applied to it.
If disabled, the main WHMCS template will be sent using the main WHMCS SMTP configuration without any branding applied.

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

Next, type in the email addresses to send the copy and, if needed, the blind copy to, enter the desired subject and message content. You can also create more versions, in different languages.

Additionally, along with editing the source code of a template you can use the available merge fields tags just like in the standard email templates.
Save the changes once you have finished.

Finally, enable the edited template and save the configuration. You will see the 'Branded' label next to the edited template.

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

[edit] Services Pricing

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

Note: Remember that the 'Price Override' option has to be enabled. Otherwise, the service prices will still be taken from the main WHMCS settings.
To start, select the product, addon or domain tab and click the 'Add' button. In the following example you will see how to add branding for product pricing.

Select the product for which you want to set branded prices and click 'Save' .

Or you can add all your products at once thanks to 'Bulk Action' , just press the button marked with the red arrow.

Next, open the pricing editor of the chosen product.

Here you can configure the desired prices in selected billing cycles and currencies.

You can also automatically fill out the 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.

From now on, the pricing for this product will be branded. You can also configure pricing for addons and domains in the same way.

[edit] Relations

In this section you can see which Clients, Services, Invoices, Quotes, Tickets, Knowledgebase, Downloads, Announcements, Promotions, Billable Items and Emails are assigned to this brand.

In addition, you can manually manage, assign and unassign selected items to the brand.
Do not 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 option of mass management, assigning and unassigning selected items to the brand. This functionality is planned to be implemented in future releases.

Additionally, if you would like to change any relation between brands, remember that first you have to unassign (delete) that relation from the previous brand, and only then can you add that relation to the second brand.
Otherwise, the changed item might not appear in the search box of the added relation.

[edit] 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's registration for the branded domain. You can also manually assign the already existing customers to the brand or migrate them to another.

Note: If the '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 will also be automatically assigned to it.
Therefore, one customer can be assigned to several brands at the same time.

To assign an existing client to the brand, press the 'Add'

button.

Type - decide if you want to assign a single client, groups of clients or all of your clients. Choose the preferred option from the dropwdown menu.
Add All Items - enable if you want to assign services, invoices, quotes, tickets etc. along with your client or groups of clients.

Do not forget to click 'Save' .

You can also migrate the customers from this brand to another one.

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

client
order
quote
ticket
knowledgebase article
announcement
download
sending a new message to a client

In the following sections you can find examples of such integration.

[edit] Membership

Multibrand For WHMCS makes the management of WHMCS easier through the introduction of the 'Brand Details' column.

This column informs you about the membership of clients and invoices to a certain brand (more details will be added soon).
Let us see how it looks in the 'Client List'.

It looks similar in the 'Invoice List'.

[edit] Client Profile

In the client's 'Profile' tab you also have the possibility to choose customer brand assignment.

Select branding email messages when resetting their password. Find this option in 'Users' tab in the 'Manage User' dropdown menu:

[edit] Order Creation

If the administrator wants to manually create an order for a client, he/she can directly create a relation with the selected brand (provided that the client belongs to it).
Additionally, they can also assign a payment gateway available in the given brand.

[edit] Invoices

If the administrator creates a new invoice for a customer, he/she has the possibility to select a direct relationship with the given brand.

Additionally, there is also a possibility to change the brand relation directly for the previously created invoices.

In other categories, the integration with brands is applied similarly.

[edit] Branded Client Area

Multibrand For WHMCS offers multiple client areas in one solution and allows you to have your clients assigned to them.

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

On the following screen you can see invoices generated for a brand.

[edit] Branded Emails

Brand configuration applies also to emails sent to clients.

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 be branded accordingly too. Here you can see an example of an order email.

You will find more information in the branded Email Templates configuration.

[edit] Branded Domains & Aliases Configuration

In this section you will find guides on how to create branded domains and aliases in popular control panels.
Please keep in mind that there are multiple combinations, that may occur. Take a closer look to find a perfect solution for your case.

[edit] Apache2 / NGINX

If there is no cPanel/DirectAdmin/Plesk panel on your server, then all you need to do is modify the current configuration:

for NGINX - add the additional domain name in the server_name line (read more)
for Apache - add the additional domain name into the ServerAlias line (read more)

[edit] cPanel / DirectAdmin / Plesk Servers

[edit] Same Server + One Account/Subscription

This configuration of Same server + One Account/Subscription assumes that all domains are added within one account/subscription on a given server.
In this case, simply add an additional domain so that it points to the same directory as the WHMCS main domain points to. If a given panel has 'Aliases' option in its offer, you can also use it.

[edit] Same Server + Multiple Accounts/Subscriptions

Such scenario (Same Server + Multiple Accounts/Subscriptions) is not feasible.
This is due to the way web panels work (separation of users), not the module limitations.

[edit] Separate Server

A separate server - in this situation the branded domain is added to other DNS server. It might be added to, for example cloudflare, or it is added and used on another server, for example cPanel or DirectAdmin.

Take a look at the exemplary situation. Let's say there are two domains:

domain whmcs.com on server 'X'
domain brand.com on server 'Z' ('Z' can be a 'cPanel' server or a 'DNS' service)

In order to process it correctly, follow the below steps:

add an addon domain or an alias with the brand.com domain to server 'X', so that it points to the main domain, that is whmcs.com in our case
add a DNS record to the server 'Z' (note it can be e.g. cPanel or DNS service)
- add a record 'A' pointing to the server 'X' IP address
- or add a CNAME record pointing to the main domain, that is whmcs.com' in our case

[edit] SSL Certificate

In this section you will find all information about the SSL certificate in WHMCS required to use Multibrand For WHMCS properly.

If either your branded domains or WHMCS domain use the SSL connection, they should also support one of the below certificates.
The supported types of certificates:

Dedicated SSL Certificate - handled separately for each domain.
Wildcard - if all brands and main WHMCS use the same domain.
SAN - if your brands and main WHMCS use different domains.

This is the way WHMCS works. It cannot be considered the limitation of our module which uses the 'WHMCS System URL' scheme.

[edit] cPanel

Installing the SSL certificate for domains managed from cPanel consists of the following steps:

1. Log in to your cPanel and press 'SSL/TSLS Manager' under the 'Security' section.

2. Click on 'Manage SSL sites' under 'Install and Manage SSL for your site (HTTPS)'.

3. (installing the certificate) Select the domain, paste the certificate along with the private key, and save the settings.

4. (using the already installed certificate) Select the certificate from 'Browse Certificates' , and save the settings.

Alternatively, you can enable the AutoSSL solution that will automatically install domain-validated SSL certificates. Go here for more information.

Note: AutoSSL function is unlikely to work for the CNAME entries, and therefore you should use virtual hosts (vhosts) instead.

[edit] Branding Limitations

[edit] Version 2.4.0

With the aim of better stability and support for future improvements, Multibrand For WHMCS has been completely rewritten in the 2.0 version.

For this reason, some of the functionalities are not yet available or are operating in a limited way.
These features will be successively restored in the future versions. Below you can find the features that are still not yet supported:

Brand Reports - the current statistics are limited.
Brand Previews - the preview of the brand in the client area is not yet implemented.

[edit] WHMCS

In this section we will list those elements of WHMCS that cannot be branded or may be working in an improper way.

Bridges - Multibrand For WHMCS does not support any kind of bridges (WordPress, Joomla, WHMCS Bridge Pro, etc.).
Link replacement - currently, links are replaced with their branded counterparts with a visible delay.
This is the only feasible way to proceed for the time being.
Configurable Options Pricing - currently, there is no possibility to set a different pricing per brand for configurable options.
Emails - not branded due to the lack of possibility to determine the brand that the email should be sent from:
- Affiliate Monthly Referrals Report
- Clients Only Bounce Message
WHMCS V6 - Multibrand For WHMCS 2.X will no longer support WHMCS V6 and template five. Use Multibrand For WHMCS 1.X instead.

[edit] WHMCS Modules and Others

In this section we will list the WHMCS modules and other services which do not support multibranding or do not cooperate with Multibrand For WHMCS at all.

WHMCS Modules
- Client Area Designer For WHMCS
- Discount Center For WHMCS - this module will not operate properly when the price override is enabled in Multibrand For WHMCS
- Hosting Renewals For WHMCS
- Payment Gateway Allocator For WHMCS
- Payment Gateway Charges For WHMCS
- Recurring Contract Billing - this module is not integrated with Multibrand For WHMCS.
- Resellers Center For WHMCS - this module is not yet compatible with Multibrand For WHMCS
- SMS Center For WHMCS - SMS messages sent to customers cannot be branded. A default set of SMS templates is sent to clients from all brands.

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 the incompatibility with Multibrand module.
  You may disallow the CloudFlare network to assume NS authority and not become the intermediary between the user and your server, but then your Cloudflare service may become unproductive.

[edit] Integration with MetricsCube

MetricsCube is a platform that will empower you to gain insight into your business almost effortlessly.
All you need to do is sign up and integrate with your WHMCS application to get real-time access to over 70 detailed reports with powerful filtering and comparing tools.

Multibrand For WHMCS module can be very easily integrated with this external platform.
There are no additional steps you need to take to enjoy the integration. Simply synchronize MetricsCube platform with your WHMCS installation with Multibrand module active.
It will be automatically detected by the platform and additional filtering tools will become available.
From now on, whenever you access most of the MetricsCube reports, they will include the brand filter, showing the data per specific WHMCS company.

[edit] Tips

1. The logo image is usually hard coded into the WHMCS template files.

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

2. If you want Captcha security option to be displayed in your client area for all branded domains, you need to configure each of those domains in your Google Account as well.

3. Note that it is not possible to merge tickets from different brands.

4. Performing the 'Send Message' action on a clients list will result in sending branded emails only to the clients who are assigned to an individual brand.

5. If you would like to use Google reCAPTCHA for brand storefronts, you need to add domain addresses of those brands to the reCAPTCHA configuration. To do so, please proceed here.

6. Please remember that if you upload a brand logo that is too big, too small, or has unusual proportions, it may result in its incorrect scaling in templates, emails, or on invoices.
To avoid that, please make sure that you are familiar with WHMCS logo requirements that can be found here.

[edit] Update Instructions

An essential guidance through the process of updating the module is offered here.

In order to migrate the data from the 1.8.X version, simply activate the new module addon.
The data from the previous version will be automatically transferred to the new one. Make sure that all necessary data have been migrated correctly.
Afterwards, you can deactivate the currently used Multibrand version and start using the new one.

[edit] Uninstallation Process

If you no longer wish to use Multibrand For WHMCS, you may safely uninstall the module. Steps to follow to successfully and safely remove the module from your system:

1. Remove the integration code.
2. Remove the following files:

/includes/hooks/multibrand/
/includes/api/mbaddbillableitem.php
/includes/api/mbsendemail.php
/templates/six/invoicepdf_rename.tpl
/templates/six/quotepdf_rename.tpl
/modules/addons/Multibrand/

3. Remove all tables that begin with Multibrand_ from the database.

That is all, the module is completely uninstalled now.

[edit] Upgrade Guide

Seeking a solution that offers greater flexibility, customization tailored to your precise needs, and unrestricted availability?
There is an option that not only proves to be cost-effective in the long run but also includes prioritized support services, making it a truly valuable investment.

Opt for the Open Source version of your Multibrand For WHMCS module to unlock these benefits.
Simply click on either the Get Source Code or Upgrade To Lifetime button found on the product's page in our client area to complete the one-step upgrade process, with a dedicated discount already applied.

Follow a comprehensive guide covering the transition process, the advantages it brings, and step-by-step instructions on what to do next after the order has been successfully finalized.

[edit] Common Problems

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

2. If your CNAME record is not working, remember that the first domain name in the CNAME record should be a branded domain.

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

3. Please remember that Multibrand For WHMCS is guaranteed to work smoothly with 'Six', 'Twenty-One' And 'Lagom' templates.

If you are using some custom template, please be mindful that the module may not combine well with it out of the box, which may result in unexpected errors.
In this case, you can take advantage of our Template Integration service and have all interface elements carefully harmonized by our team.
You can order Template Integration together with the module as well as, at any time later on, in the client area - in the "Services" section of your product's page.

4. Since Multibrand For WHMCS and Resellers Center For WHMCS both come with separate pricing configuration, we do not recommend using them in one WHMCS installation.

Due to possible malfunctions in branding, we also advise against using Multibrand For WHMCS with the following modules:

Advanced Billing For WHMCS (e.g. not branded invoices)

CRM For WHMCS (e.g. not branded emails)

Discount Center For WHMCS (e.g. not branded invoices)

Hosting Quota Notifications For WHMCS (e.g. not branded emails)

Payment Gateway Charges For WHMCS (e.g. not branded invoices)

QuickBooks Desktop For WHMCS (e.g. not branded invoices)

QuickBooks Online For WHMCS (e.g. not branded invoices)

Quotes Automation For WHMCS (e.g. not branded emails or invoices)

Zendesk For WHMCS and Freshdesk For WHMCS (e.g. not branded ticket messages)

Integration between these modules is hampered because of the specific functions that each of them offers as well as their individual workflow.
This includes but is not limited to separate email templates used or common hooks that override one another.
We are continually working on overcoming these limitations wherever possible.

5. If you intend to use Hosting Renewals For WHMCS, please take note of the following issue concerning the module's discounts calculation.

In order for the discounts to be based on the prices settled in Multibrand For WHMCS, you must set the Hosting Renewals 'Apply Recurring Amount From Service Settings' option to 'Enabled'.
Otherwise, the price cuts will be estimated according to the main prices of the WHMCS products, not the branded ones.

6. Integration between Domain Orders Extended For WHMCS and Multibrand For WHMCS module is slightly limited.
Please be aware that only the main brand works flawlessly with the mentioned module, branding is not supported for Domain Orders Extended yet.

7. If you are using HTTPS, remember to implement a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS on the branded domain.

Otherwise, WHMCS will route visitors to the main WHMCS and not the brand. Keep in mind that when WHMCS creates the redirection, the domain is changed as well.
