To activate and begin using the ResellerClub registrar module, follow the steps below:
+
To activate and begin using the ResellerClub registrar module:
 
 
# Login to your WHMCS Admin Area
 
# Navigate to '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > Domain Registrars''' or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, '''Setup > Products/Services > Domain Registrars'''.
 
# Locate Resellerclub in the list
 
# Click the '''Activate''' button
 
# Enter your Resellerclub API credentials

===IP Registration===
 
ResellerClub's API is IP restricted. Therefore to use the ResellerClub API, you must first allow your servers IP to access your ResellerClub account via the API:
 
#Login to the LogicBoxes/ResellerClub control panel
 
#Navigate to '''Settings > API'''
 
#Enter your server's IP address into one of the fields
 
#Click ''Save Whitelisted IP addresses''
 
 
 
* The IP address to be whitelisted can usually be identified within the WHMCS Admin Area by navigating to '''Help > License Information''' and observing the ''Valid IP'' value
 
 
 
<div class="docs-alert-info">Failure to do this will result in you seeing the error message, "Access Denied: You are not authorized to perform this action"</div>

==== Nameservers ====
  
To use the ResellerClub demo mode:
+
Live nameservers will return a <tt>Nameserver is not a valid Nameserver</tt> error unless you create and register them in the demo environment before attempting domain registrations on the demo platform. The demo control panel will try to check the validity of the nameservers in the demo platform and not on the registry.
  
#Register for an account on the dedicated demo system at: https://demoserver.partnersite.myorderbox.com/reseller.php?action=show_signupform
+
You can use <tt><nowiki>ns1.onlyfordemo.net</nowiki></tt> and <tt><nowiki>ns2.onlyfordemo.net</nowiki></tt> as your nameservers without registering them on the demo environment.
#In WHMCS, navigate to '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > Domain Registrars > ResellerClub''' or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, '''Setup > Domain Registrars > ResellerClub'''.
 
#Enter the new Reseller ID and API Key for your demo account
 
#Tick the ''TestMode'' checkbox
 
#Click ''Save Changes''
 
  
Once testing is completed, enter the Reseller ID and API Key of your [[ResellerClub#Activation|live account as above]], and untick the ''TestMode'' checkbox.

===IDN Configuration===
+
To register internationalized domain names (IDNs) through ResellerClub, you must add an additional domain field to WHMCS via the <tt>resources/domains/additionalfields.php</tt> file.
In order to register internationalised domain names (IDN) through ResellerClub an additional domain field is required to specify the language of the domain being registered. This field is added to WHMCS via the resources/domains/additionalfields.php file.
 
  
The language options differ for each TLD and the appropriate values for each case are listed in the ''idnLanguageCode'' section in the [http://manage.uk.resellerclub.com/kb/answer/752#heading_1 ResellerClub API Documentation].
+
The language options differ for each TLD. You can find the appropriate values in the <tt>idnLanguageCode</tt> section in the [http://manage.uk.resellerclub.com/kb/answer/752#heading_1 ResellerClub API Documentation].
  
For example to register a .eu domain the following line should be added to the ''/resources/domains/additionalfields.php'' file:
+
For example, to register a <tt>.eu</tt> domain, add the following line to the <tt>/resources/domains/additionalfields.php</tt> file:
  
 
<source lang="php">
 
<source lang="php">
Line 100: Line 83:

For more information, see [[Additional Domain Fields]].
 +
 
 +
=== Terms and Conditions ===
 +
 
 +
ResellerClub requires that clients agree to their terms and conditions when registering a domain. To do this, it adds an additional checkbox to the registration process.
 +
 +
To translate the checkbox name, use <tt>tnc</tt> as the <tt>LangVar</tt> key in the appropriate language file in the <tt>lang/overrides/</tt> directory:
 +
 
 +
<source lang="php">
 +
$_LANG['tnc'] = 'I agree to the ResellerClub terms and conditions.';
 +
</source>
 +
 +
For more information, see [[Additional_Domain_Fields#Translate_a_field_name|Additional Domain Fields]].

 +
=== Domain Contacts ===
  
===Domain Contacts===
+
Prior to WHMCS 6, domain registration through LogicBoxes modules (ResellerClub, NetEarthOne, and Stargate) always used the client's profile data regardless of whether '''User Client Details''' was disabled.
In version 5.x and below, the client's profile data will always be used when registering domains through LogicBoxes modules (ResellerClub, NetEarthOne, Stargate), even if the "User Client Details option is disabled in the General Settings.
 
  
If a client has multiple domains registered they will all use the same contact details, for all four whois contacts, changing the whois details on one domain will also change the details for the others.
+
If a client has multiple registered domains, they will use the same contact details for all four Whois contacts. Changing the Whois details on one domain will also change the details for the others.
  
In version 6.x and above, a unique contact will be created for each domain. This contact will be applied to the Registrant, Billing, Tech and Admin contact for the domain's whois records. Modifying the whois details for the domain will change only this one domain.
+
In WHMCS 6 and later, domain registration creates a unique contact for each domain. This contact becomes the Registrant, Billing, Tech, and Admin contact for the domain's Whois records. Modifying the Whois details for the domain will change only that domain.

Activation

You must sign up for a ResellerClub account.

To activate and begin using the ResellerClub registrar module:

  1. Log in to the WHMCS Admin Area.
  2. Go to Configuration () > System Settings > Domain Registrars or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Products/Services > Domain Registrars.
  3. Find ResellerClub in the list.
  4. Click Activate.
  5. Enter your Resellerclub API credentials and configure the module's settings.
    User Profile Menu
    • You can find your ResellerClub API credentials in the ResellerClub control panel:
      • Your reseller ID appears at User Profile > Manage Profile.
      • Your API key appears at Settings > API.
    • Enable Designated Agent to act as the designated agent for all contact changes. For more information, see the ResellerClub documentation.
  6. Click Save Changes.
  7. Grant API access to your ResellerClub account to your server's IP address. You can do this by going to Settings > API in the LogicBoxes/ResellerClub control panel and entering your IP address.
    • You can find the IP address to use in WHMCS at Help > License Information.
    • If you do not do this, you will see a You must authorize your IP address to use this API. error in WHMCS 8.4 and later or an Access Denied error in WHMCS 8.3 and earlier.

Test Mode

ResellerClub requires the use of a Demo Account Reseller ID and API Key with the Test URL instead of your Live Account credentials. Use of your Live Account credentials, even with the Test URL, will cause you to perform actions in the live environment.

You can use test mode to simulate domain registration and management function without registering a domain or incurring charges. This can be useful to test WHMCS configurations.

Nameservers

Live nameservers will return a Nameserver is not a valid Nameserver error unless you create and register them in the demo environment before attempting domain registrations on the demo platform. The demo control panel will try to check the validity of the nameservers in the demo platform and not on the registry.

You can use ns1.onlyfordemo.net and ns2.onlyfordemo.net as your nameservers without registering them on the demo environment.

IDN Configuration

The following information is for WHMCS 7.10 and earlier.

To register internationalized domain names (IDNs) through ResellerClub, you must add an additional domain field to WHMCS via the resources/domains/additionalfields.php file.

The language options differ for each TLD. You can find the appropriate values in the idnLanguageCode section in the ResellerClub API Documentation.

For example, to register a .eu domain, add the following line to the /resources/domains/additionalfields.php file:

<?php
$additionaldomainfields[".eu"][] = array(
    "Name" => "IDN Language",
    "DisplayName" => "IDN Language",
    "LangVar" => "idnlang",
    "Type" => "dropdown",
    "Options" => "latin",
    "Default" => "latin",
    "Required" => "true",
);

For .org domains, add the following line to the /resources/domains/additionalfields.php file:

$additionaldomainfields[".org"][] = array(
    "Name" => "IDN Language",
    "DisplayName" => "IDN Language",
    "LangVar" => "idnlang",
    "Type" => "dropdown",
    "Options" => "da,de,hu,is,ko,lv,lt,pl,es,sv",
    "Default" => "da",
    "Required" => "true",
);

For more information, see Additional Domain Fields.

Terms and Conditions

ResellerClub requires that clients agree to their terms and conditions when registering a domain. To do this, it adds an additional checkbox to the registration process.

To translate the checkbox name, use tnc as the LangVar key in the appropriate language file in the lang/overrides/ directory:

$_LANG['tnc'] = 'I agree to the ResellerClub terms and conditions.';

For more information, see Additional Domain Fields.

Domain Contacts

Prior to WHMCS 6, domain registration through LogicBoxes modules (ResellerClub, NetEarthOne, and Stargate) always used the client's profile data regardless of whether User Client Details was disabled.

If a client has multiple registered domains, they will use the same contact details for all four Whois contacts. Changing the Whois details on one domain will also change the details for the others.

In WHMCS 6 and later, domain registration creates a unique contact for each domain. This contact becomes the Registrant, Billing, Tech, and Admin contact for the domain's Whois records. Modifying the Whois details for the domain will change only that domain.

Automatic Registration

WHMCS allows you to set up automatic domain registration on a per-extension basis, enabling you to use different registrars for different TLDs.

To enable automatic registration, see Domain Pricing.

Automatic Domain Synchronization

This module supports automatic domain synchronization for syncing expiry dates and status changes for incoming transfers.

To use this, enable Domain Sync Enabled and configure the domain sync task at Configuration () > System Settings > Automation Settings or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Automation Settings.

Troubleshooting

Connection Problems

The following errors occur when the ResellerClub server is unreachable. They may be experiencing problems or a local firewall may block the connection:

Access Problems

The following errors indicate problems accessing ResellerClub:

  • Access Denied: You are not authorized to perform this action.
  • CURL Error: 7 - couldn't connect to host.

Usually, this indicates that you haven't allowed your server's IP address to access your ResellerClub account via the API. Do this in the Settings > API section of the LogicBoxes control panel.

The IP address you need to authorize is typically the main shared IP address of the server, which is usually the IP address your WHMCS license is assigned to. If you experience problems, contact ResellerClub.

Invalid Password/Username, or your User account maybe Inactive or Suspended

This error response indicates that the login details in Configuration () > System Settings > Domain Registrars or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Domain Registrars, for the Resellerclub module are incorrect or your account is suspended.

Website Doesn't Exist For xxx

This error indicates that the domain does not exist in your ResellerClub account while a domain transfer is in progress. It automatically disappears when the transfer is complete.
