Account Ownership Transfer Manager

Account Ownership Transfer Manager

Developed By Chenzo David

Compatible with WHMCS v8.13

Transfer Account Ownership Module for WHMCS

Account Transfer Manager lets your clients transfer services and domains to another client in your WHMCS automatically — safely, with full control, and without opening a ticket.

Key Features

  • Client-to-client transfer flow

    • A client can initiate a transfer of a hosting service (and matching domain) to another client account. The receiving client gets an email and must accept.
  • OTP-confirmed acceptance

    • The new owner must enter a one-time confirmation code (OTP) sent via your WHMCS mail settings. No random “surprise” transfers.
  • Optional admin approval

    • You choose: allow instant transfers, or require an admin to approve/deny after the receiver accepts.
  • Automatic reassignment

    • When approved, ownership of the service is moved to the new client. If there’s a domain with the exact same name (example.com), it moves too.

Block risky transfers

Transfers can be automatically blocked if:
  • The service is Suspended

    • There are overdue invoices tied to that service
    • This protects revenue and stops people from dumping problem services onto someone else.

Full audit trail

  • Every step (request, OTP sent, accepted, approved, rejected, etc.) is logged with timestamps, IP, and actor (client / admin / system).

Admin dashboard

  • A new “Account Transfer Manager” page in the admin area shows:

    • Pending / accepted / completed transfers

    • Approve / Reject buttons

    • Logs / audit trail

    • Blocklist (ban specific clients from using transfers)

Branded emails

  • OTP / acceptance emails are sent using your WHMCS mail configuration so they look like your company, not a random script.

Client Experience

  • Sender goes to their service in the client area and clicks Ownership Transfer in the sidebar.

  • They enter the recipient’s email and agree to Terms.

  • Recipient gets an email with a secure link + OTP.

  • Recipient logs in and either:

    • Enters the OTP and accepts, or

    • Rejects the transfer

  • (Optional) Admin reviews and approves.

Why This Matters

  • Lets you support agency-style handoff (developer → client) without tickets.

  • Helps when one user sells a project and needs to hand over hosting + domain.

  • Reduces manual “please move this service to another account” work for staff.

  • Protects you with rules, logs, and approval gates.
