RU-CENTER

BILLmanager is integrated with RU-CENTER, one of the popular domain name registrars.

The integration module supports the following features:

Integration setup

Integration is configured in the process of creating a service processing module in BILLmanager.

To create a service processing module, enter Integration → Processing modules → click Add. The processing module adding wizard consists of the following steps:

1. Product type: select "Domains".
2. Processing module: select "RU-CENTER".
3. Integration settings. Specify the data for integration:
   Complete the form using the details of an existing client in the handler's system:
   
   1. Contract number — ID of your contract with RU-CENTER.
   2. Password — password for access to RU-CENTER account.
   3. Language — a language of messages you would like to receive from RU-CENTER.
   4. Domain — domain name of an RU-CENTER partner. It is added to the request code when API is used. You can leave this field empty or specify the domain name of the project. This domain will be added to each request sent from the billing platform. It is required for the registrar's support team to identify requests swiftly.
   Activate the Create New Client option to display a link to register with the handler's system.
4. Processing module parameters. Configure internal (within BILLmanager) parameters of the service processing module:
   1. Name — specify the name of the processing module to be displayed in the BILLmanager interface.
   2. Department — select the department to which tasks from the processing module will be assigned.
   3. Sort — specify the processing module’s priority. If more than one processing module is connected to a tariff plan, the processing module with the lowest priority is selected first when creating the service.
   4. Processing module minimal balance — specify the minimum amount on the personal account in the system to purchase services. For more information, see Processing Module Balance.

Connection test

On the last step, BILLmanager tries to connect to the registrar with the data you have specified.

If connection ends up with the error: Cannot connect to the processing module, we recommend to check that:

• connection data is correct.
• URL address of the registrar is accessible from the server with BILLmanager.
• you can execute API calls from the IP address of BILLmanager from your account in the registrar system.

Logging

Log of interaction between RU-CENTER and the billing platform is recorded in file '/usr/local/mgr5/var/pmrucenter.log' 

You can add string 'pmrucenter.* 9' to file '/usr/local/mgr5/etc/debug.conf' to display more information in the log.
