Updated 2 years ago

As part of selling hosting services you may wish to sell domains to your clients. To use your hosting service your customers will need to either register, transfer or point a domain name.
Our WHMCS Krystal Domain Reseller module allows you to sell domain names to your customers.
Krystal's WHMCS Domain Reseller Module provides a direct API connection from your WHMCS installation to our platform for domain provisioning and management (transfer/renewal).
You will also need to have a credit card registered, or a credit balance on your Krystal account in order for domains to be auto-provisioned.
If you opt to use our domain API, we can offer no refunds for any domains that are registered and subsequently cancelled by your customers, as we incur the costs of registration.
Select API Keys from the left-hand menu and then click the + Create New API Key button.
Once created you will need to make a note of the API secret (API key) as this will only be shown once. You will need this API secret key along with your API Username, shown in the left hand column of the table, in order to configure the domain reseller module within WHMCS - so make a note of them.Once created you will need to make a note of the API secret (API key) as this will only be shown once.
