Sample Workflow

In this section we will present to you a sample workflow of the module.

In a basic workflow 3 users take part:
Provider – a person with Products Reseller For WHMCS installed on the WHMCS system.
Reseller - a provider's client who aims at reselling products offered to him by the provider.
The reseller must own a system with integration module generated for him by the provider with Products Reseller For WHMCS.
End Client – a person with a client account in the Reseller's WHMCS.

Provider's Part
Let us start from the beginning. Provider installs Products Reseller For WHMCS in the system.
He already has some products in the offer and wishes to allow the reseller to resell them.
Now, the provider configures Products Reseller For WHMCS, creates groups, configures them and assigns products, config options and defines their pricing for the reseller who is assigned to one of the groups.
Finally, selects which of the clients will become resellers, assigns them to previously created groups and generates access details.

Reseller Part
The Reseller has access to the Reseller Area once logged into the provider's client area.
There, he can download both the integration module and its documentation as well as generate and copy any API details required to activate the integration module in his own system.
Then, the reseller needs to set up products that the provider allows him to resell with the integration module delivered by the provider. Defines the pricing (prices must be higher than the ones the provider has set up to generate any income).
There is one step that separates the reseller from offering the product from his system.
The reseller must add funds to his credit balance in the provider system to be able to pay off the charges and settle the amounts owed to the provider for his resold products.
Provider creates an 'add funds invoice' for the Reseller, the Reseller pays the invoice and then again the Provider adds the same amount to Reseller's credit balance.
From now on, any product can be ordered.

End Client
End Client orders a product from his client area in the Reseller's system.
Once the payment is complete, details of the ordered product (i.e account credentials) are sent to the end-client mail address using the selected reseller's welcome email template.

Last Word About Payment
Now, that the End-Client has ordered and paid the reseller for the product, at the provider's system a new invoice for that product is created automatically (on behalf of the reseller).
Depending on the selected "Payment Type" configuration the invoice will be paid with credits and product attempted to be created or attempt to create the product and if successful, the invoice will be paid with credits.
In case the reseller does not have sufficient credits on his account to pay for the product creation, the process is stopped until the invoice is manually paid by the reseller.
The reseller's income is the difference between the price of the sold product to the End-Client and the price he paid to the provider.

Upgrade Instructions

Products Reseller For WHMCS allows to upgrade both the product and the configurable options.
When the 'Change Package/Upgrade' action in the reseller's WHMCS is started, the same action is started in the main module environment.
The request contains information on both the product and its configurable options (if there are any assigned).
If it turns out that there are some differences between the requested config options and the currently assigned to the service, then only Configurable Options will be upgraded. Otherwise, Product Upgrade will be performed.

Product Upgrade

Supported by the module product upgrade scenarios:
  • Product A (without any config options) → Product B (without any config options) - additional payment is required or adequate amount of money is returned, depending on the number of days remaining until the end of the billing cycle
  • Product A (with config options) → Product B (without any config options) - additional payment is required or adequate amount of money is returned, depending on the number of days remaining until the end of the billing cycle
  • Product A (without any config options) → Product B (with config options):
    • Case 1: products A and B have the same Configurable Options Group assigned - additional payment is required or adequate amount of money is returned, depending on the number of days remaining until the end of the billing cycle
    • Case 2: products A and B have different Configurable Options Groups assigned - this upgrade scenario is not supported
  • Changing billing cycle within one product (with or without configurable options) - additional payment is required or adequate amount of money is returned, depending on the number of days remaining until the end of the billing cycle

Configurable Options Upgrade

When you change the price of a single configurable option, e.g. from Y to Z, the price is simply calculated for option Y (within the service billing cycle defined in WHMCS with Products Reseller module).

Importing Existing Product Into Reseller Store

It is possible to manually add an existing product to the reseller's store. Follow the steps below to do so.

1. In the provider's WHMCS:

  • First, you need to track the Service ID number and the Order ID number, both of which can be found in the provider's WHMCS system.
    Open the service details page by navigating to: WHMCS Admin Area → Clients → Products/Services → [Your Service].
    • When you open the service page, look at the URL; it ends with a number, which is the Service ID. You will need this number to import the product into the reseller's store. Copy it and keep it for later use.
    • While on the same page (Product/Service Details), find the Order ID number under "Order #." Copy this as well, as it will be needed in the next steps.

2. In the reseller's WHMCS:
  • Next, you need to order the product for your client account without processing the create command.
    Ensure that the order includes only this single product. If you add more, the process might be interrupted.
  • In the client's 'Products/Services' management tab within your admin area, fill in the 'Service ID' and 'Order ID' custom fields with the corresponding ID numbers from the previous step.
PR2 89.png
3. In the provider's WHMCS Database:
  • This is the final step. In the provider's database, open the 'ProductsReseller_ResellerRelations' table and add an entry with the newly ordered service details. Ensure that you provide the following:
    • 'resellerid': The 'Admin ID' number.
    • 'rellid': The 'Service ID' custom field value.

When ready, change the service status to 'Active'.

4. Completion:

That's it! The service has been successfully imported and can now be managed by the end user in the reseller's client area.

Tips

1. When you update your Products Reseller module to a newly released version (full number update), it is required to updated the integration module as well.
2. Products Reseller For WHMCS can be integrated with other ModulesGarden products to extend the range of available features,
e.g. the integration with Proxmox VE VPS For WHMCS provides such additional actions as: get VM details, get VM graphs, start VM, stop VM, reboot VM.
3. Make sure that you are not blocking access to the 'api' catalog by your '.htaccess' file.
4. Products Reseller For WHMCS enables you to resell your products not only via WHMCS system.

You are able to easily prepare integration module for any system (Blesta, HostBill, Clientexec, BoxBilling, and many more) using Products Reseller For WHMCS API.
All you need is knowledge of, for example, the PHP programming language and our module's API.

5. If a client buys a product from the reseller and pays in a different currency than the reseller's default currency
then the amount will be converted into the reseller's default currency basing on the 'Base Conv. Rate' (your WHMCS → Setup → Payments → Currencies).

How To Use Language Overrides

Incorporating language customizations - the module readily accommodates language overrides, allowing you to tailor the language files to your preferences.
The language file english.php remains unencoded and can be modified to suit your needs. However, it's recommended to avoid altering the core file itself, and instead, leverage the capability of using overrides.
Here's how to apply language overrides:
  • Navigate to the ~/langs/ directory located within the following yourWHMCS/modules/servers/moduleName/langs/ path.
  • Within this directory, create a new file or duplicate the language file you intend to modify. For instance, if you wish to create an override for the English language, establish the following directory structure:
 ~/langs/overrides/english.php.
  • Open the newly created override file to edit its contents.
  • At the beginning of the file, indicate the used code, for instance, you can use: <?php for PHP code.
  • Adapt the file content according to your requirements. You can either selectively modify specific variables or opt to revise the entire content of the language file.

For example:

Original yourWHMCS/modules/servers/moduleName/langs/english.php:

 $_LANG['Search'] = 'Search';

Override yourWHMCS/modules/servers/moduleName/langs/overrides/english.php:

 $_LANG['Search'] = 'Look for';
By following these steps, you can seamlessly implement language customizations without altering the core language file, ensuring your changes will not be lost after every module update.

Remember that some of the modules have more than one language file, located under /addons and /servers paths. You may create the override files for both of them.
Note that you do not need to paste all the original content of the lang file into the override file. Enter there only the lines that you wish to change, every other line will be fetched from the original module lang file.
Consequently, the override lang file might include only one or just a few lines.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
2. If the reseller encounters the 'Order Accept Encountered Problems. Invoice for the hosting has not been paid' error while the create action,
then the provider should make sure that:
  • the product that is offered to the reseller has the 'Recurring' pricing set properly.
  • the reseller has enough credits on his account to pay for the product
  • the 'Automatic Credit Use' option is enabled in WHMCS → General Settings → Credit.
3. If you use the nginx server and get 404 errors, please make sure you have set a proper declaration in your '/etc/nginx/conf.d/' configuration file.

This can be e.g.:

        location /client/modules/addons/ProductsReseller/api/ {
                try_files $uri $uri /client/modules/addons/ProductsReseller/api/index.php;
        }

but may differ depending on your configuration (e.g. the '/portal/' path may be used instead of the '/client/' one).
