CNIC Domain Monitoring Addon
This addon enhances your WHMCS experience by facilitating domain management through both HEXONET (ISPAPI) and CentralNic Reseller (CNR) APIs.
What Does This Addon Do?
This addon ensures seamless operation between your WHMCS system and domain services. It primarily focuses on:
Managing Premium Renewal and Transfer Costs: If you’re using WHMCS version 7.8 or earlier, this addon is essential.
Proactively Handling Premium Status Changes: If a domain’s status changes from standard to premium and it fails to renew or transfer, this addon creates a to-do item in WHMCS. You can then use our monitoring addon to review the new price and update the status, providing a better experience for resellers.
Instructions for Accurate Billing:
To ensure accurate billing, follow these steps: Navigate to Domain Registrations > mydomain.com. Set “Recalculate on Save” to “Yes”, then click “Save” to apply the changes and recalculate the prices. If needed, cancel and refund the original Invoice & Order. Finally, initiate the renewal/transfer again via Client Area.
Additionally, be aware that the domain may have either been upgraded to premium status and/or the renewal/transfer pricing may have been adjusted. It’s essential to carefully review and update the billing to maintain accurate records and prevent any discrepancies between your reseller cost and the customer’s initial payment. If a discrepancy occurs, you may need to cover the difference instead of the customer.
These features work together to simplify domain management.
