OpenPanel WHMCS module allows users to integrate billing automations with their OpenPanel server.

WHMCS module is now available for OpenPanel. Currently supported actions are:

• ✅ create account

• ✅ suspend account
• ✅ unsuspend account
• ✅ terminate account
• ✅ autologin from frontend
• ✅ autologin from backend
• ❌ get disk usage for account
• ✅ change package

To setup WHMCS to use your OpenPanel server follow these steps:

1. Enable API access on OpenPanel server First make sure that API access is enabled by going to OpenAdmin > API or by running opencli config get api from the terminal: If API is not enabled, click on the "Enable API access" button or from terminal run opencli config update api on.

   We recommend creating new Administrator user for API, to create a new user navigate to OpenAdmin > OpenAdmin Settings and create new admin user, or from terminal run: opencli admin new USERNAME_HERE PASSWORD_HERE

2. Install OpenPanel WHMC Module Login to SSH for WHMCS server Navigate to path_to_whmcs/modules/servers Run this command to create a new folder and in it download the module: git clone https://github.com/stefanpejcic/openpanel-whmcs-module.git openpanel

3. Establish connection between the two servers On OpenPanel server make sure that the OpenAdmin port 2087 is open on OpenAdmin > Firewall or whitelist the IP adress of your WHMCS server. to whitelist ip address from terminal run: ufw allow from WHMCS_IP_HERE

   On WHMCS server also make sure that the 2087 port is opened or whitelist the IP address of your OpenPanel server. From WHMS navigate to: System Settings > Products & Services > Servers Click on Create New Server and under module select OpenPanel then add OpenPanel server IP, username and password for the OpenAdmin panel:

4. Create hosting packages Hosting packages need to be created on both OpenPanel and WHMCS servers. On OpenPanel server login to admin panel and on OpenAdmin > Plans create hosting packages that you will be assinging to users on WHMCS.

On the WHMCS server create first a new group and then create new plans under this group. When creating products, make sure to select OpenPanel for Module and the newly created group
