You can configure WHMCS to work with your domain reseller account. To set up WHMCS to work with your control panel follow these instructions. 

Before you set up WHMCS you will want to make sure you are using version 4.4 or greater. Older versions of WHMCS will not work with our API as they use the old API URLs. Instructions for upgrading your WHMCS installation to the latest version are at the bottom of this article.

The version of WHMCS can be viewed by clicking Home, Admin summary, scroll down and in the left column the version is listed under System Information. 

Once you are certain you are running the correct version of WHMCS you will need to white list your IP address. Get the IP address for your WHMCS account by clicking Help, and License Information within WHMCS and copying the "Valid
IP" value.

After you have that IP address value you will want to add it into your control panels API settings by following these steps. 

To Register your IP Address

  1. Login to your Control Panel. 

  2. Go to Settings -> API

  3. Register the IP addresses from where you will be making the HTTP API requests.

  4. You can now start making HTTP API requests.

Once this has been completed, you will need to configure your WHMCS account to connect to our API. You can do this by logging into WHMCS, click the Setup tab, and select domain registrars. You will see the screen shown below. 




Select the Stargate module from the drop down menu and click go. You will then need to fill out the information shown in the screenshot below. 



Once you have added all of the required information click save changes. If you need assistance with WHMCS beyond this point you may want to check the WHMCS forum which can be found at this link http://forum.whmcs.com/ . 

Upgrading WHMCS 

You must be using version 4.4 or greater in order for WHMCS to work with our API. 

If you choose to upgrade yourself instead of having WHMCS do it for you, follow the instructions below and in the release notes for the specific version to ensure a successful upgrade.

You can upgrade from any WHMCS version from 3.2 onwards to the latest. You do not need to do each incremental release between your current version & the latest in order to upgrade. Simply download the full release package for the latest version as described below and then follow the upgrade instructions linked to in the included README.txt file.


Downloading the Latest Version

  1. Begin by logging in to the client area @ http://www.whmcs.com/members/clientarea.php or obtain the latest version from your web host if you received your key from them
  2. Click the My Licenses & Services link on the sidebar
  3. Select one of your active license keys to view the details
  4. Next, choose the latest stable version to download from the files which will be at the bottom of the page

Once downloaded, you are now ready to begin the upgrade process. This can vary from version to version so it is important that you refer to the upgrade instructions for your specific version. If you need additional instrcuctions go to this link http://docs.whmcs.com/Upgrading .
