SolusIO

About this Addon Module

Our SolusIO Integration is the official integration between WHMCS and the SolusIO Virtual Infrastructure Management Platform.

This supports Self-Service VM Provisioning with Post-Pay Billing as a billing mode. It allows customers to register for access to VM provisioning, manage virtual machines and provision on-demand via the SolusIO control panel, and have billing performed at set intervals by WHMCS in a post-pay (pay after use) model.

For more information, see SolusIO FAQ.

Using the Addon

You can access the SolusIO module within WHMCS at any time by navigating to Configuration () > System Settings > Addon Modules or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > Addon Modules within the WHMCS admin area.

Connecting to SolusIO

To connect to SolusIO:

Access SolusIO. When you do this for the first time, you will see the following screen:
Enter the URL to your SolusIO installation. This is the URL that you use to access the web interface.
Enter your API Key. You can find this at Account > API Tokens > Generate API Token in the SolusIO user area.

Setup

Post-Pay

When you access the SolusIO module after connecting to SolusIO, you can set your settings for Post-Pay billing.

Landing Page

The WHMCS SolusIO Post-Pay functionality comes with a premade landing page. You can only access this page after you have enabled Post-Pay billing.

This also automatically adds menu items to the Client Area if they are enabled.

Logged-out users can access this using the Cloud Hosting option in the main menu.
Logged-in users can access this using the Cloud Hosting option in the Website & Security menu.

Customising the Landing Page

Customizable templates control the landing page. To make changes, we recommend copying the /modules/addons/solusio/templates/post-pay/landing-page.tpl file into the active WHMCS Client Area template directory at /templates/{active_template}/modules/addons/solusio/post-pay/landing-page.tpl. Both of these paths are relative to the WHMCS root installation directory.

After you copy the file, you can make changes to the template within your WHMCS Client Area template directory. The system will preserve these customizations during module updates.

WHMCS Billing Integration

Within the SolusIO product, you can configure Billing Integration Settings.

Billing integration allows SolusIO to retrieve token pricing information as well as perform single sign-on to the WHMCS billing portal.

WHMCS will auto-configure these values for you every time the WHMCS SolusIO module and SolusIO target instance establish a connection. You cannot generate and set these values manually.

To reconfigure the connection, you must reestablish the API connection with the SolusIO target instance. To do this, use the API Connection panel in the Settings tab of the SolusIO WHMCS integration module.
