AWHMCS Android App

aWHMCS is the Official Android App for WHMCS.

The price of aWHMCS is a $34.95 one-off charge which allows as many instances of aWHMCS to be used by as many different staff on as many different phones as you wish (the same licensing scheme as with all our mobile editions).

Please visit http://www.whmcs.com/androidapp.php for more information.

Setup Instructions

1. To begin with (if you haven't already done so), you will need to order the Android App addon from our client area. It's available as an addon to a license and can be ordered by logging into our client area @ www.whmcs.com/members/clientarea.php and selecting "View Available Addons" from the navigation bar.

2. Once you've ordered and paid, the addon will be instantly activated and you'll just need to perform a local key update by going to Help > Check for Updates inside your WHMCS installation to have it take effect.

3. Now, you're ready to download the aWHMCS App - you can download this from the Google Play Store by searching for "aWHMCS Official WHMCS App" - http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.whmcs.awhmcs/aWHMCS-Official-WHMCS-App

4. Now locate and open the app on your Android device

5. The first time you start the app, you'll be taken straight to the configuration screen for you to input your WHMCS connection details. These consist of your WHMCS URL, admin username & password and an access key.

6. The domain should be the URL to your main site url , for example if installed @ "http://demo.whmcs.com/" then the URL setting would be "demo.whmcs.com/" and the admin username & password the same as you use to login to the main admin area.

If installed @ "http://yourdomain.com/whmcs/" then the URL setting would be "yourdomain.com/whmcs/" and the admin username & password the same as you use to login to the main admin area.

Please note that your Admin account role needs to have API Access permission.

7. The access key is slightly more complicated. For this, you need to open up the configuration.php file for your WHMCS installation and add a line to it such as the one below:

$api_access_key = "abc123";

The abc123 in the above should be replaced with a random series of letters and numbers, you can think of it like a second password, and that same value is what you'll need to enter into the Access Key field on your phone

8. Then simply click Save and the connection will be tested. If any of the details were entered incorrectly you'll receive an Access Denied (username/password failure) or Invalid Access Key error message and be returned to re-enter the details.

9. If all was correct, you'll be taken to the home screen and can begin using the app.

Using the App

Don't forget to press the menu button on your handset to access extra options, almost every screen has this option.

Common Problems

The common error responses from the API can be found at API:Responses

Invalid IP

This error means the API Access Key has not been added successfully to the configuration.php file. Please refer to step 7 above. The $api_access_key line should go before the closing ?> tag.
