Setting Up Auto-Renewal for your Domain

?? Domain Auto-Renewal Workflow

  • Before Expiry: The system will automatically attempt to renew the domain using the payment method that is associated with their account.

  • Notification: Clients will be notified about the renewal attempt, and if successful, they'll receive a confirmation email.

  • Failure Handling: If the payment fails, WHMCS may attempt to process the payment again depending on the gateway and retry policy.

 

?? Client Steps: Set Up Auto-Renewal for Domain in WHMCS Client Area

  1. Login to the Client Area

  2. Navigate to Domain Management

    • Once logged in go to:

My Account > Domains or Services > Domains

    • You will see a list of all your active domains.

  • Select the Domain to Enable Auto-Renew

    • In the Domain Management section, click on the Manage button next to the domain you want to enable auto-renewal for.

  • Enable Auto-Renewal

    • In the Domain Management interface, you'll see a section for Auto-Renewal (this will be shown for domains that support auto-renewal).

    • To enable auto-renewal, they simply toggle the option to ON.

    • Once turned on, thehostingpool will automatically attempt to renew the domain before it expires (usually 30 days before).

    • Save Changes

      • After toggling the auto-renew option, the client should click Save Changes

 

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Payment Method: The client must ensure that they have a valid payment method set up in their Payment Methods section. If their card or payment method expires or is removed, auto-renewal will fail.

  • Email Notifications: Clients are set up to receive renewal notifications from thehostingpool, which typically get sent out when their domain is about to expire.
