Supported Features

If you don't already have an account with Enom, you can signup for the free account we offer to all clients here!

Configuration

To setup the Enom Registrar integration in WHMCS, begin by going to Setup > Products/Services > Domain Registrars. Next click Activate next to eNom from the list of available registrars to view view the configurable options for it. You will then be asked to enter your username and password for your Enom account, then click save to complete. Next you need to register your server IP with Enom to be allowed access to your account as described below and then you just need to configure your domain pricing in Setup > Domain Pricing

IP Registration (Registrar Error Invalid Client IP)

• In order to use the Enom API, you must first contact them and let them know the server IP address where you will be connecting from (the server IP address where you have WHMCS installed)
• This is part of Enom's security measures to prevent unauthorised users being able to submit registration requests to your account.
• You can do this by opening a ticket with Enom directly to their API department asking for your server IP address to be authorized for access to your account

Test Mode

To use the Enom test mode, it's not as simple as ticking the test mode option in the configuration area. You must setup an account separately on the dedicated demo system they offer. In your Enom account navigate to Resellers > API > Test Account and click all three links under "Test Interface Options": http://www.enom.com/resellers/ResellerTestAccount.asp

With the Test Mode checkbox ticked you can now place domain registration orders in WHMCS, the domains will appear on your demo Enom account @ http://resellertest.enom.com but no domain will actually be registered and you will not be charged.

Expiry Date Syncronisation

WHMCS can sync the expiry dates of domains you have registered with Enom. This is particularly useful for domain transfers where the expiry date cannot be calculated automatically. This can be enabled under Setup > General Settings > Domains Tab.

Notes

.ca Registrations

.ca Registrations require additional fields. A common error "Invalid registrant information" is caused by the location field. Instead of entering the full place name you should use one of the following province abbreviations:

• Alberta - AB
• British Columbia - BC
• Manitoba - MB
• New Brunswick - NB
• Newfoundland and Labrador - NL
• Northwest Territories - NT
• Nova Scotia - NS
• Nunavut - NU
• Ontario - ON
• Prince Edward Island - PE
• Quebec - QC
• Saskatchewan - SK
• Yukon - YT

Upsell ID Protection

We have created some 'copy & paste' ready code for adding to the order templates to promote the ID Protection service within the order process and change it from being something users have to opt-into to being an addon that's enabled by default that they have to opt out from instead. For more information refer to Enom ID Protection Promo.
