Contents
Supported Actions
- Automated Provisioning of new Weebly Site Builder Accounts
- Single Sign-On into Weebly Site Builder from Client and Admin Areas
- Upsells/Promotions within the client area
- Automated Cancellation
Setup and Configuration
To activate and begin reselling Weebly via WHMCS MarketConnect, simply navigate to Configuration () > System Settings > MarketConnect or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > MarketConnect within your WHMCS admin area. Click the Activate button under the Weebly product offering.
Weebly Automation
When ordering Weebly as an add-on to a Hosting Account, WHMCS and MarketConnect fully automates the Weebly account setup process.
For Website Publishing Automation, the following applies:
cPanel
WHMCS will create a dedicated FTP account within cPanel for use by Weebly and will provision the Weebly account with these FTP credentials.
When a user publishes their site within the Weebly Site Builder application, Weebly will connect to and publish the website to your web hosting using these FTP credentials.
Plesk
The FTP credentials will default to the domain, username and password from the parent Plesk product with a publishing path of the httpdocs directory.
DirectAdmin
The FTP credentials will default to the domain, username and password from the parent DirectAdmin product with a publishing path of the public_html directory.
Any Other Control Panel
The FTP credentials will default to the domain, username and password of the parent product to which the Weebly service is attached. If different, the FTP details must be updated manually. See below for how to do this.
Updating FTP Publishing Credentials
FTP Publishing Credentials are stored in custom fields that can be viewed and updated when managing a Weebly service within your WHMCS admin area.
To update the FTP Publishing Credentials Weebly uses, follow the steps below:
- Modify the values in the FTP Host, FTP Username, FTP Password and FTP Path fields.
- Click Save Changes.
- Click the "Update FTP Publishing Credentials" button to push the new details to Weebly.
Admin Management Actions
For any Weebly order, an Admin user is able to perform the following actions:
- Manage Order - Clicking this button will perform single sign-on into the Weebly control panel for the given website.
- Update FTP Publishing Credentials - Should the client FTP details require updating, this can be done using this button. Update the custom field information, hit Save Changes, then this button can be used to update the FTP information.
From the MarketConnect Management page, admin users can also perform single sign-on into the Weebly control panel for a selected website - allowing them to manage all websites under their control.
Client Management Actions
When logged into the Client Area, if a customer has an active Weebly service, they will be provided with a link to manage their website that will perform Single Sign-On and take them directly to the Weebly Control Panel to create and manage their site.
Client Area Promotions
MarketConnect supports showing Weebly promotions in the client area homepage, shopping cart and when managing a web hosting product that does not have a Weebly service attached to it. Examples of these promotions can be seen below.
Free Plan
In WHMCS 7.10, we introduced a Free Plan to the Weebly offering in MarketConnect.
The new Free plan replaces Lite, and is designed to provide customers a free and easy way to get started with an online web presence. Available to all, and available to bundle by default with new hosting purchases, Weebly Free makes it possible for anyone to build a website.
The new Free plan comes with unlimited pages and is supported by a Weebly powered by line displayed in the footer of websites.
To offer the Free Plan, you must be running WHMCS 7.10 or later. Those already offering Weebly services via MarketConnect will see the new Free plan immediately become available after upgrading to WHMCS 7.10. The Lite plan will be removed and hidden from public order pages.
Those running WHMCS 7.9 or earlier can continue to sell and provision the Weebly Lite plan until they upgrade to WHMCS 7.10 or later.
