Configuring Domain Pricing

You can configuring your domain pricing in Configuration > Domain Pricing. From here you can enter all your TLDs and set the prices for registration, transfer and renewal for each of them. You can add multiple years options for your clients by entering the same TLD and simply choosing a different period option. You must also select here what addons you offer for each TLD from the options of DNS Management, Email Forwarding and ID Protection along with if an EPP Code (or Auth Code) is required to transfer the domain.

Note: Pricing of the domain addons is set in General Config > Domains

Automatic Domain Registration

With Automatic Domain Registration, you can automate the registration, transfer and renewal of domains with the built in registrars. When enabled, WHMCS will automatically submit the request to the registrar as soon as the client pays you for it.

You can select a different registrar to be used for each TLD. This is done on the same page as the pricing @ Configuration > Domain Pricing

Registrar Configuration

Domain Registrars can be configured by going to Configuration > Domain Registrars in the WHMCS Admin Area. From here, you can set the default nameservers that WHMCS will use for domains registered by the system and if you have an account with one of the supported registrars, you should configure it here.

Once configured, domains with that registrar that are in your WHMCS will show the nameservers and allow you to change them, along with the WHOIS contact information. It will also allow you to renew domains from WHMCS and to submit registration and transfer requests for new domain orders both manually and automatically.

Offering Free Domain Registration with Selected Packages

With WHMCS, you are able to offer free domains with your packages when purchased with certain payment terms - for example you might want to offer a free domain when a package is purchased annually. The following steps walk you through how to do this.

  1. Begin by going to Configuration > Products & Services
  2. Next, click the edit icon next to the product or service that you want to offer a free domain with
  3. Now select the Other tab from the tabs at the top of the page
  4. Tick the box labelled Free Domain to offer a free domain with this package
  5. Then select the payment terms (or billing cycles) that you want to offer the free domain with - press Ctrl when clicking the options to select more than one
  6. Now you need to select which TLDs the free domain offer applies to. This allows you to exclude high priced TLDs such as .tv Again, use Ctrl when clicking the options to select more than one
  7. Now click the Save Changes button

That's it! Your package will now not charge the user for the domain when ordered with the billing cycle specified.
