Installation
Installation of Resellers Center For WHMCS requires a few simple modifications of the template files. No worries, we will guide you step by step through the entire installation process. Important: If you are updating Resellers Center For WHMCS from the 3.8.0 version (or prior to 3.8.0) to the 3.9.0 version and later, you need to reconfigure your API settings. |
Installation
1. Log in to our client area and download the module. |
2. In the downloaded file you might find one or two packages that support different PHP versions. In the most recent versions of the module, you will find only one package that supports PHP 7.4 and later. |
3. Extract the package and upload its content into the main WHMCS directory. The content of the package to upload should look like this. |
4. When you install Resellers Center For WHMCS for the first time you have to rename the 'license_RENAME.php' file. The file is located in 'modules/addons/ResellersCenter/license_RENAME.php'. Rename it from 'license_RENAME.php' to 'license.php'. |
5. In order to configure your license key you have to edit the previously renamed 'license.php' file. Enter your license key between quotation marks as presented on the following screen. |
6. The next step is setting up the 'storage' and 'config' folders as recursively writable. They are located in: 'your_whmcs/modules/addons/ResellersCenter/'. |
Activation of Addon
7. Now, you have to activate the module in your WHMCS system. Log in to your WHMCS admin area. Click 'System Settings' then choose 'Addon Modules'. |
8. In the next step, you need to permit access to the module. To do so, select the admin roles which should have access to the module. Press 'Save Changes' when ready. |
9. Afterward, go to 'Addons' → 'Resellers Center' → 'Integration Code' and follow the instructions.
Note: Please keep in mind that WHMCS versions prior to V8.4 are no longer officially supported by the module. |
Activation of Payment Gateway
10. Now, proceed to 'Apps & Integrations' and find the 'Deferred Payments' gateway and activate it. Note that this payment gateway is required if you are going to use any of the following module features:
|
11. You will be redirected to the payment gateways management page. Find 'Deferred Payments' on the list to configure it.
Select the 'Show on Order Form' option, add your custom display name, or leave the default one. Remember to save the changes when ready. |
12. Congratulations, you have just successfully installed Resellers Center For WHMCS! You can now access your module from 'Addons' → 'Resellers Center '. |
Management and Configuration

|

|
The last 'Email Templates' section contains the same list of email templates to enable/disable as the global configuration. |
Addon Management
In this section you can find more details about the management possibilities. We will show you how to set up key options to ease the module's handling processes. |
Pricing Groups
In order to grant any of your clients resellers' rights, you need to configure a group first. To do so, proceed to the 'Pricing Groups' tab and click the button as shown below. |
A popup window appears. Just fill in a group name and press 'Create'. At this point, you may also define the group setting related to the consolidated invoices feature. |
As you can see, a new group is visible on the list. It does not have any product configured. To add a new product press the button as presented below. |
Choose a new product from the 'Add Product To Group' dropdown menu and press 'Save'. |
The product needs to be configured. Then, Resellers Center For WHMCS enables you to:
|

You can define pricing using the below options:
To confirm settings, press 'Save' . |
Calculation Method
Several methods for the calculation (2) are available. Choose the one you want to use from the dropdown menu.
To confirm settings press 'Save' next to the product you have configured. |

Now, you can set 'Pricing', 'Calculation Method', delete this domain and 'Show Details'. |
Resellers
The 'Resellers' tab displays all clients from your WHMCS system. You can use it to assign any client to a reseller's group, which will activate them as resellers. |
Assign a new reseller to the chosen group. |
Clients
To see resellers' clients go to the 'Resellers' tab and click the button next to a selected reseller. |
Here you can obtain more details about your customers and their clients. Apart from clients, you can manage also invoices, transactions, and services. |
You can also assign a new client to this reseller. |
Move to 'Services' to obtain more details about the clients' services and add any other products/addons/domains that are not yet assigned to this reseller's store. |
In your WHMCS admin area, you may now quickly check if a client is assigned to a reseller, and to which one exactly (either a company name or first/last name is visible), without the need of opening the Resellers Center addon. |
Payouts

Deferred Payments Logs
A dedicated section is available to list actions related to deferred payments. Check the list of events: |

Choose the resellers to whom the documentation will be visible, and enter the name of the documentation and its content. |
From now on, our resellers will be encouraged to read the documentation from the welcome page, when they enter the 'Reseller Area' for the first time. |
Client Area - Reseller
In the client area, your clients can add new sub-clients and access the 'Reseller Area' . Access to the 'Reseller Area' is granted only to those clients, to whom reseller's groups are assigned in the Resellers Center For WHMCS module. |
Reseller Area
In the 'Reseller Area' you can manage clients, define product prices, set up branding, customize email templates, and open tickets. |
Clients
Under this tab, you can see a list of reseller's clients and perform various actions. It is possible to log in as a client (1), make an order for a client (2), view client's details (3) and delete a client (4). |

Configuration
General Configuration
In the 'Configuration' tab you are allowed to define 'General Settings' such as your own company name, email signature, invoice footer, invoice and store logos used across client's client area, emails, invoices and date format. Please notice, that the available reseller configuration options may vary depending on the options you selected in the addon configuration and whether the 'Reseller Invoice' option was enabled for the reseller. Note: Once the configuration of your brand is complete, your reseller will still need to set up a CNAME DNS record if domain is used. |
|
|
|
Email Templates
'Email Templates' is a place where you can view and edit email templates sent to your clients. Provided the option 'Allow Mail Wrappers Change' has been enabled for the reseller, empty fields to edit the CSS Styling, Header and Footer will appear. |
Finally, edit the email template to suit your needs and press the 'Save Changes' button. Note: During this step you can easily add merge fields using dropdown menus visible on the following screen. |
Payment Gateways
This tab is only available if the 'Reseller Invoice' option in the admin area is set to 'Enabled' . In this section, the reseller can set up their own payment gateway ('PayPal', 'Stripe', 'Stripe SEPA', 'Bank Transfer', '2Checkout, Authorize.Net Aim', 'Checkout.com', 'Payflow Pro', 'Billplz'and 'WePay' gateways are currently available). charge.failed charge.succeded checkout.session.async_payment_failed checkout.session.async_payment_failed checkout.session.completed charge.dispute.closed In the 'Country Limitation' field you can select countries users from which will have access to each gateway. The payment gateway named 'Deferred Payments' is dedicated to the module features "Consolidated Invoices" and "Deferred Payments" features. It is available only if at least one of them is enabled. |
Email Settings
The Email Settings section allows the configuration of your own email mailbox. Enter the SMTP details to send messages. Remember to test the connection and send testing email messaged to ensure everything works correctly before saving the whole configuration.

|
Using the 'Action' button on invoices list resellers can also view and manage the invoice details, similarly to how it is done in the admin area. Press the marked button to download the invoice in a PDF format. |
Add a custom invoice. This option is available only for branded invoices between the reseller and the client.
|
Orders
This section allows you to view all of the orders with their chosen payment method and status. |
Apart from the general section with all orders listed, you may view a list of ordered products, addons and domains separately. Use visible filters to search for specific orders only. |
Promotions
In the 'Promotions' section resellers can generate fully customizable promo codes in order to apply a promotion for products, addons or domains of your choice. Note: You must first enable them in your 'Configuration' section of a specific reseller. |
Click on the symbol, marked on the screen below to create one. |
Now you should see all fields required to properly configure a promotion.
|
By toggling the 'Upgrades / Downgrades' section, you will have a few extra fields to configure.
|
Ordering
There are two ways to add a product to an end client account, we will show you both of them below. |
Assign Product by Reseller
Your resellers can place orders for their own customers as if the orders were for themselves. |
Both your reseller and the end client will receive an order confirmation email. Afterward, when an end client logs in to the WHMCS client area, he/she will be able to view and manage previously ordered products. |
Access Order From The Client Area
Your reseller's clients can view the order form with the list of products configured by their resellers. Therefore, your reseller's clients can place orders on their own, using order forms in the client area. |
If 'Deferred Payments' is enabled for end clients, a dedicated payment gateway is available to select. If the client has not reached the imposed limit, the payment can be postponed in time. |
Tickets Management
If you have not disabled tickets in your addon, your resellers will be able to reply and forward tickets created by their clients. It is only available for the tickets department set in the Resellers Center For WHMCS configuration. |
On the screen below you can see a list of all the tickets created by a reseller's clients from the client area. |
You can easily reply to them. |
Client Area - End Client
An end client sees a branded client area. Since version 3.x of the module end clients are treated as regular WHMCS clients. |
Start New Billing Period - end clients when upgrading their services are given the possibility to start a new billing cycle for the upgraded service. Keep in mind that the price for the upgrade is then recalculated adequately to the remaining, unused period of time. This option is available if the "Consolidated Invoices" feature is enabled in the Reseller Area. You may also force this feature to be always available for end-clients by replacing the "upgradesummary.tpl" template with a new one (available since version 3.13.0). Find the below listed files:
From now on, the "Start New Billing Period" feature will be always available regardless of the "Consolidated Invoices" feature status. Note: "Start New Billing Period" feature is not available in the admin store, resellers upgrading their services are not permitted to use it. |
General Relations
Relations between Provider, Reseller and Client |
Payment system: In general, Reseller receives a product from the Provider and then provides it further to the End Client. |

Branded Domains & Aliases Configuration
In this section you will find guides on how to create branded domains and aliases in popular control panels. Please keep in mind that there are multiple combinations, that may occur. Take a closer look to find a perfect solution for your case. |
Apache2 / NGINX
If there is no cPanel/DirectAdmin/Plesk panel on your server, then all you need to do is modify the current configuration:
|
cPanel / DirectAdmin / Plesk Servers
Same Server + One Account/Subscription
This configuration of Same server + One Account/Subscription assumes that all domains are added within one account/subscription on a given server. In this case, simply add an additional domain so that it points to the same directory as the WHMCS main domain points to. If a given panel has 'Aliases' option in its offer, you can also use it. |
Same Server + Multiple Accounts/Subscriptions
Such scenario (Same Server + Multiple Accounts/Subscriptions) is not feasible. This is due to the way web panels work (separation of users), not the module limitations. |
Separate Server
A separate server - in this situation, the branded domain is added to another DNS server. It might be added to, for example cloudflare, or it is added and used on another server, for example cPanel or DirectAdmin. Take a look at the exemplary situation. Let's say there are two domains:
In order to process it correctly, follow the below steps:
|
SSL Certificate
If reseller-branded domains or your WHMCS main domain use the SSL connection, they should also support selected certificates. The supported types of certificates:
This is the way WHMCS works. It is not the limitation of our module which uses the 'WHMCS System URL' scheme. |
cPanel
Installing the SSL certificate for domains managed from cPanel consists of the following steps: |
1. Log in to your cPanel and press 'SSL/TSLS Manager' under the 'Security' section. |
2. Click on 'Manage SSL sites' under 'Install and Manage SSL for your site (HTTPS)'. |
3. (installing the certificate) Select the domain, paste certificate and the private key, and save settings. |
4. (using the already installed certificate) Select it from 'Browse Certificates' , and save settings. |
You can also consider enabling the AutoSSL solution, which should automatically installs domain-validated SSL certificates. Go here for more information. Note: AutoSSL function will rather not work for CNAME entries so you should use virtual hosts (vhosts) instead. |
Use Cases
This section features sample scenarios that illustrate common use cases and provide practical guidance on applying the module's functionalities. Review these scenarios for real-world examples of how to use the module effectively. |
Introducing Credit Memos
Resellers Center For WHMCS includes an optional credit memo billing system. This alternative invoice system can make bookkeeping easier, as it restricts invoice editing and introduces credit memos instead. This way of invoice management is required by law in some countries, but can also be useful for correcting billing errors, in product returns, or providing special discounts. The 'Reseller Invoice' feature must be enabled for the reseller first. |
Now the 'Credit Memos' feature can be enabled. Note: If the toggle is still grayed out, try refreshing the page. |
As you can see the billing documents are now categorized into invoices and credit memos. |
After a new invoice is created and delivered to the client, but not yet paid, a button to create the credit memo will appear. It is the only option that can be performed on a delivered invoice, as all data is set to read-only. |
The credit memo generated for the invoice is an exact copy of it but with a negative value. |
Both the invoice and the credit memo are cross-labeled with related documents. |
As soon as the credit memo is created, both documents are marked as 'Closed'. |
Allocating Payment Gateways
While using Resellers Center For WHMCS with the 'Reseller Invoice' function active, resellers can define which payment gateways are available for their clients based on the clients' country. See the instructions below to learn how it works. First, make sure that you are using the 'Reseller Invoice' system, as this feature requires it to function. |
In this example, the reseller has set up three payment gateways: Stripe, PayPal, and WePay. 'Country Limitation' is not set up for any of them. |
With no restrictions present, all gateways are visible to everyone. |
Now, the 'Country Limitation' for Stripe has been changed to include only Afghanistan. This means clients from other countries will not be able to use Stripe. |
As you can see, this account is set to the Czech Republic. Due to the restriction we have set, the Stripe gateway is not listed. |
Next, we will log in as a client from the country we restricted Stripe to. Since the feature is based on the country in the client's profile, and not geolocation, we will simply change the settings in the 'Reseller Area'. |
Once we reach checkout, Stripe is available again. This is because the country of this client matches the restriction rules we set for the gateway earlier. |
'Country Limitation' works for guests as well. With Stripe still limited to Afghanistan, the client that selects any other country in the billing address will not be able to use it. |
However, clients from Afghanistan will be presented with the Stripe option. Resellers can customize each gateway in this way, ensuring they meet their clients' needs and expectations. |
Tips
1. If your WHMCS is installed in a subdirectory, your resellers using CNAME record must provide their links with it. For example, reseller.com/main-whmcs-directory instead of reseller.com.. RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^main-whmcs-domain.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/whmcs-directory/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /whmcs-directory/$1 [R=301,L] Result: If hostname is not main-whmcs-domain.com and path is not whmcs-directory', then redirect to resellers domain with /whmcs-directory. |
2. When it comes to our Resellers Center For WHMCS and Social Media Login For WHMCS modules, they are compatible and work faultlessly unless your reseller uses a branded domain. |
3. If you enable the 'Reseller Invoice' option and any invoice is created in the meantime, you will no longer be able to disable this option. |
4. If you would like to use Google reCAPTCHA for brand storefronts, you need to add the domain addresses of those brands to the reCAPTCHA configuration. To do so, please proceed here. |
5. Consolidated invoices logging system - the module offers the possibility to extend the log entries related to consolidated invoices creation. If you need additional information to be logged after every cron execution and generating a consolidated invoice, please:
Note: Please bear in mind that this option is not suggested for the production environment as it might significantly slow down the process of generating consolidated invoices and increase the number of logs. |
6. Hiding gateways for resellers - you may permanently hide single payment gateways for all resellers regardless of their billing settings. To do so:
As a result, in the Reseller Area configuration, the reseller will not see these payment gateways, meaning there will be no way to enable them or modify their settings. |
7. For Stripe SEPA payment gateway the functions 'Revert on Dispute Loss' and 'Failed Transaction Fee' can be used together to achieve different behaviors, here are to possible combinations:
|
8. Customize the Reseller Area button design:
|
Update Instructions
An essential manual through the process of updating the module is offered here. When you upgrade the module from a version older than 3.5.0 to 3.5.0 or newer, please remember to set writable permissions to the 'config' directory, as described in step 6. of the installation guide. |
Before upgrading your WHMCS to version 8.9.0, it is strongly recommended to execute the following command, for instance, via phpMyAdmin: ALTER TABLE `ResellersCenter_BrandedInvoices` DROP FOREIGN KEY ResellersCenter_BrandedInvoices_ibfk_1; |
Migration
Migration tool allows you to upgrade Resellers Center For WHMCS module to the latest version. Note: Version 3.x currently supports migration from version 2.5.x of the module and it will only transfer data on resellers, resellers' clients and resellers' groups. |
External API Configuration
The Resellers Center For WHMCS module utilizes External API, follow the instructions below to learn how to configure and use the API correctly. To start the configuration process, go to 'Configuration → WHMCS API Connection Settings'. Next, click on the link as presented below. |
Once you are in the 'Manage API Credentials' section, go to 'API Roles' and press 'Create API Role' . |
Enter your 'Role Name' and decide which API actions will be allowed. Do not forget to save the changes. The API requires a minimum set of permissions, which include:
|
Next, navigate to the 'API Credentials' section and click the 'Generate New API Credential' button. Provide a description and choose the previously created API role. Finally, press the Generate button. |
You will find your new 'Identifier' as well as 'Secret' . Copy and paste them to a safe place because you will not see them again. |
Now, come back to the configuration section of the module. Provide your 'Identifier' and 'Secret' . You also need to complete 'Base Auth Login' and 'Base Auth Password' if your site uses them. |
The final step is to navigate to 'General Settings' of your WHMCS admin area. Find the 'Security' section there and scroll down to the 'API IP Access Restriction' feature. Enter your IP address here to make sure that the configuration will work properly. |

Follow a comprehensive guide covering the transition process, the advantages it brings, and step-by-step instructions on what to do next after the order has been successfully finalized. |
Common Problems
1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports. |
2. If you use HTTPS, remember to implement a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS on the reseller's domain. Otherwise, WHMCS will route visitors to the main WHMCS and not the reseller store. Keep in mind that when WHMCS creates the redirection, the domain is changed as well. |
3. We do not recommend using Resellers Center For WHMCS with:
Integration between these modules is hampered due to specific features of each one of them and their individual work flow.
|
4. Please remember that Resellers Center For WHMCS is guaranteed to work smoothly with 'Six', 'Twenty-One' And 'Lagom' templates. If you are using some custom template, please be mindful that the module may not combine well with it out of the box, which may result in unexpected errors. |
5. The Lagom Client Theme missing integration:
|
6. If you are using other language than English in the client area, note that some strings might be still in English, e.g. billing cycles or invoice status. Note that this issue is not related to our module, but to WHMCS itself and we have no influence on these occurrences. |
7. The available in the client area option "Add Funds", which allows adding extra cash reserve to the client balance (see: Client Area → Billing → Add Funds), is not supported by the Resellers Center module. It is highly advised for the administrators to turn this option off to avoid errors: Admin Area → Genera Settings → Credit → Enable/Disable. |
