==Configuring Automatic Registration==
WHMCS allows you to setup automatic domain registration on a per extension basis enabling you to use different registrars for different TLDs to give you the flexibility to offer more extensions and always get the best value.

To enable automatic registration, please refer to [[Domain Pricing|Configuring Automatic Registration]]

==Domain Sync==
The GoDaddy module supports the automatic syncing of expiry dates for registered domain names and status changes for incoming domain name transfers.

To enable this functionality, navigate to '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > General Settings > Domains''' or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, '''Setup > General Settings > Domains''' and ensure the '''Domain Sync Enabled''' option is checked.

You must also ensure the [[Crons#Domain_Sync_Cron|Domain Sync Cron]] is configured on your system.
