Configuring a Product

Begin by going to Setup > Products/Services
Create a new product with type Other and the name of the Certificate you want to offer
Click Create to be taken to the full product configuration screen
Set the description and other options as desired but leave the Welcome Email set to None
Pricing should be set to one time as renewals cannot be processed
Next, switch to the Module Settings tab and choose Globalsignssl in the Module dropdown
Now the GlobalSign product options will appear where you'll be asked to enter your GlobalSign username & password, choose the certificate product code, base option & validity period this product is for
In the automation choices, you can choose you're preferred action and this determines when the configuration email link is sent - it can be instantly on payment or only when you have reviewed and manually accepted the new order
Once complete, click Save Changes

The Order Process

In WHMCS, the SSL certificate order process is as follows:

The product is ordered and paid for by the customer with the regular order process and no configuration of the certificate
When the product is activated, the email template SSL Certificate Configuration Required is sent to the customer with a link back to the WHMCS client area where they must go to configure the certificate
At the configuration page, the user is asked for their server type, the CSR, the admin details to assign the certificate and the email address they want the verification email sent to
Once completed, the certificate is delivered via email to the chosen admin address

At no point in the process does your customer ever leave your WHMCS site. Everything is handled automatically through WHMCS.

Year Selections

A configurable option can be setup to offer different validity period options for the customer to choose from at the time of ordering
To do this, setup a Configurable Option Group in the normal way with an option name of "ValidityPeriod|Display Name Here" and options of the number of months you want to offer, eg 12, 24, 36, 48, 60

For example your configurable option might look like this:
