How to Connect Your Billing System With a Domain Reseller API (PrymHosting Guide) Print

  • 0

Integrating your billing system with a domain reseller API allows automated domain registration, renewals, transfers, availability checks, and DNS management.

At PrymHosting, we support seamless integration with popular billing platforms such as WHMCS, Blesta, and custom-built systems using our modules and API connections.

Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • API access from your domain reseller provider

    • API Key / Token

    • API Endpoint (URL)

    • Whitelisted server IP (if required by provider)

   

  • A compatible billing system

    • WHMCS, Blesta, or custom platform

  • Access permission to upload or edit registrar modules

Integration Methods

1. Pre-built Registrar Module (Recommended)

Many domain providers offer ready-made modules for platforms like WHMCS.

Steps:

  • Download the module from your reseller portal

  • Upload the module to your billing system:

    • WHMCS → /modules/registrars/

    • Blesta → /components/modules/

  • Activate the module in your admin panel

  • Enter API credentials (API Key, Secret, Username, etc.)

  • Save and test the connection using the domain lookup tool

2. Custom API Integration (If a module is not available)

If your domain reseller does not provide a module, you can manually connect using their API.

Can include functions such as:

  • CheckDomainAvailability

  • RegisterDomain

  • TransferDomain

  • RenewDomain

  • GetDNSRecords

  • UpdateNameservers

  • GetDomainStatus

General connection process:

  1. Read the provider API documentation

  2. Call the API using HTTP requests (GET/POST/SOAP/JSON)

  3. Authenticate using your API key or credentials

  4. Build functions to trigger actions from your billing system

  5. Store responses (success or error logs) in your database

  6. Connect actions to user orders, renewals, and domain management UI

Example API request structure (may vary by provider):

Security Recommendations from PrymHosting

✔ Whitelist your hosting server IP in your provider dashboard
✔ Always use HTTPS when sending API requests
✔ Store API tokens securely (never expose in frontend code)
✔ Log API responses for debugging and automation tracking
