# OpenPanel and WHMCS
OpenPanel Enterprise edition has billing integrations with WHMCS and [FOSSBilling](/docs/articles/extensions/openpanel-and-fossbilling).
OpenPanel WHMCS module allows users to integrate billing automations with their OpenPanel server.
# OpenPanel
To setup WHMCS to use your OpenPanel server follow these steps:
## Enable API
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
```bash
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:
```bash
opencli admin new USERNAME_HERE PASSWORD_HERE
```
## Whitelist on OpenPanel
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:
```bash
csf -a WHMCS_IP_HERE
```
or if using UFS:
```bash
ufw allow from WHMCS_IP_HERE
```
## Create hosting package
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.
# WHMCS
