    Default Number API

    Hi Tim,

    Is there an API in the works for reseller accounts? Customers really need a way to choose their number when they order from us resellers. I would like to see an interface or something like what reseller accounts have to use when choosing a number & state.. Just my thoughts..

    Yeah, I did a little pasting action to embed into site. Yeah, not cool, but I wanted to see if it would work. Looked fine, just could not access the data base from the 2nd drop down. I would think letting us borrow the engine would be nice of you guys. If not- no biggie. I like being in control who orders from what, and to do the search for the customer is really no big deal.

    I sure like this idea.. I have already purchased a domain name I want to use and wasn't sure how best to use the site along with the domain name.. i guess I could add some simple code from my billing system but that wouldn't allow the client to select their phone numbers..

    Cool

    Most for what is offered would use the Branded user interface for customers to access. The rest would be very manually done on a separate website.

    It seems HostGator.com Reseller Plan would get you WHMCS storefront that provides Integrated Hosting Storefront. Likely the majority of VOIPo Resellers already sell Web Hosting, and add VoIP to their offerings.

    An API would go a long way into creating something on WHMCS that would be more seamless.

    In the meantime, you will have to manually create the accounts. If the signup seems to work all the way to checkout, a delay to handle the product should work for now.

    Yeah, that is what I was thinking. I am in the process of integrating my Whmcs into a workable and presentable site. I am not sure if I want to sell to people outside my zone- since I like being able to see their face when I work with them, but will see. I am not sure how well the voip will fly, since most people seem to have the magic jack, and other voip options provided in bundles with their local cable company. They get great prices, but after twelve months my options might seem better.

    An API is planned for the future.

    One thing to think about... Many providers don't let customers select the number. We didn't for the first year and some providers still don't (ViaTalk.com as an example). It's a nice thing, but the point is that it's not necessary. Many providers just collect the city name on their order form and then manually assign a number.
