WebNames

BILLmanager is integrated with WebNames, one of the popular domain name registrars. This integration allows a provider to sell domain names through the given registrar.

The integration module supports the following features:

Integration setup

Integration is set up when a new processing module is added in BILLmanager. This module can be added in Integration → Processing modules → button Add.

• Step 1 — Product type. Select a product type. Please select Domains for integration with WebNames.
• Step 2 — Processing module. Select a processing module. You need to select WebNames.
• Step 3 — Integration settings. Enter information for integration with WebNames.
• Step 4 — Processing module parameters. Set up the internal parameters of the module.

Settings

Option Client in the processing system allows to use the existing account in the registrar system or create a new account. If you have selected the first option, please specify the following information:

Username — ID of your contract with WebNames.

Password — password for access to WebNames account.

If you have selected Add new, the system will show the link to registration at WebNames. 

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.
• The 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

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