Turn SSL into recurring revenue that runs itself

The official WHMCS module for [The SSL Store™]. Sell 110+ SSL/TLS and website security products with end-to-end automation: cPanel auto-install, Sectigo ACME (CaaS), RapidSSL Automate with AutoInstall, and annual subscription billing. Set it up once, and your customers' sites stay protected.

Why automation matters

Certificates are no longer a once-a-year chore. The CA/Browser Forum is shortening certificate lifetimes towards 47 days, so manual renewals are about to become a monthly job. Customers want SSL they never have to think about, and resellers want revenue that doesn't turn into support tickets. Automation solves both.

The module connects WHMCS to The SSL Store™ REST API and gives you a complete, white-label SSL storefront: import products in one click, set your own prices, and let the module take care of ordering, validation, delivery, installation and renewal.

Automation highlights

1. WHMCS ↔ cPanel: fully automated SSL

Connect WHMCS to your cPanel/WHM servers and let the module do the rest. It generates the key and CSR, completes domain validation, installs the certificate and reissues it when needed, with no ticket and no copy-pasting. If DNS or HTTP validation doesn't complete, the module automatically falls back to email validation so orders don't get stuck.

2. Sectigo ACME Certificate-as-a-Service (CaaS)

Sell Sectigo and PositiveSSL CaaS products and let customers validate, install and reissue certificates with the classic ACME protocol.

• Servers connect to Sectigo's CA and deploy certificates automatically, with no manual install steps and no expirations.
• Certificates renew and update themselves, and keep working as lifetimes shrink to 47 days.
• The client area shows the ACME server URL, EAB key ID and HMAC key, ready to paste into an ACME client.
• Works with IIS, Apache, NGINX, Caddy, LiteSpeed and other popular platforms.
• Wildcard and SAN options are supported.

3. AutoInstall (AIS) products, such as RapidSSL Plan + Automate

Offer certificates that are 100% automated: request, validation, issuance, installation and renewal. Set it up once and the certificate renews itself so it stays valid indefinitely.

• AutoInstall SSL™ for Servers fully automates certificates on Apache (Linux), NGINX (Linux) and IIS (Windows).
• ACME works with any ACME-compatible platform.
• For Automate products, customers can switch between the two methods from the client area.

4. Subscription billing: protected while the subscription is active

Automated SSL products are billed as an annual subscription. The customer pays yearly through WHMCS, completes the first setup once (cPanel, ACME or AutoInstall on Linux/Windows), and from then on their website stays protected for as long as the subscription is active.

• Renewal invoices are created ahead of time, and the subscription is extended when the invoice is paid.
• Expiration and cancellation notices are sent automatically.
• Customers can resync status, disable auto-renewal or cancel from the client area.

Features

• One-click product import and sync: pull in the full catalog (DV, OV, EV, wildcard, multi-domain/SAN, code signing, S/MIME, document signing and website security products), keep it in sync, and get notified when something changes.
• Full pricing control: set prices in any WHMCS currency, adjust in bulk by percentage, and edit code-signing token delivery pricing.
• Customer self-service: order, submit the CSR, choose the validation method, download the certificate, reissue, renew or cancel from the client area, with no support ticket needed.
• Smart validation: email, DNS (CNAME/TXT) and HTTP file validation, per-domain choices for multi-domain orders, and automatic fallback to email validation.
• Auto-renewal and invoicing: renewals generate the invoice, place the order and notify the customer. Expiry reminders go out automatically.
• Admin tools: manage, reissue, renew and re-sync any order from the admin area, import existing orders from CSV or from your The SSL Store™ account, and use the built-in reports (sales, renewals, profit) and activity log.
• Built-in SSL tools: CSR generator and decoder, certificate decoder, key matcher, SSL checker and converter.
• Email templates and multi-language support, fully customizable from WHMCS.
• Single sign-on to vendor dashboards for website security products.
