WHMCS (Web Host Manager Complete Solution) is a popular web hosting automation and billing platform. It allows you to create and manage products and services to offer to your customers. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create products and services in WHMCS:
Login to WHMCS: Access your WHMCS admin area by logging in with your admin credentials.
Navigate to the Products/Services Section: In the admin area, go to "Setup" in the top menu and select "Products/Services" from the dropdown.
Create a New Group (Optional): If you want to categorize your products and services, you can create a group. Click on "Create a New Group" and enter the group name and description. This step is optional; you can skip it if you don't need product categorization.
Add a New Product/Service: Click on the "Create a New Product" button to begin adding a new product or service.
Product/Service Type: Choose the type of product or service you want to create. WHMCS offers various types like Hosting Account, Domain Registration, SSL Certificate, etc. Select the appropriate type for your offering and click "Continue."
Product/Service Details: Fill in the details for your product or service, including:
- Product Name: The name of the product or service you are offering.
- Product Group: If you created a group in step 3, select it here; otherwise, choose "None."
- Description: Provide a description of the product or service.
- Pricing: Set the pricing for different billing cycles (e.g., monthly, yearly).
- Module Settings: Configure any module-specific settings based on the product or service type you selected.
Module Settings: If you are integrating WHMCS with a third-party service (e.g., a hosting control panel or domain registrar), you'll need to configure the module settings accordingly. These settings will vary based on the module you are using.
Custom Fields (Optional): You can add custom fields to gather additional information from customers during the order process. This step is optional.
Welcome Email: Choose whether you want WHMCS to send a welcome email to customers upon purchase.
Save Changes: Click the "Save Changes" button to save the product or service.
Configure Product/Service: After saving, you can further configure the product or service settings like provisioning, pricing, and resource limits.
Testing: Before making the product or service live, it's a good idea to test the order process to ensure everything is working correctly.
That's it! You have now created a product or service in WHMCS, and it will be available for customers to purchase through your WHMCS-based website.
Please note that the specific steps and options in WHMCS may vary based on the version you are using, but the general process remains similar. Always refer to the official WHMCS documentation or guides for any discrepancies or version-specific instructions.
