FAQ – Bring Your Own OpenAI Key

Why is there a cost if I use my own OpenAI API key?

The subscription covers the software platform, not the AI tokens.

Even in BYO mode, the module provides:

• Ticket automation logic
• SOP and KB enforcement
• Queue processing and delays
• Sentiment analysis and insights
• Admin controls, logging, and analytics
• Ongoing updates and support

Your OpenAI key simply supplies the AI responses.

Do you store or proxy my OpenAI API key?

No. Your API key is stored securely in your WHMCS installation and used only for your system.

Can I switch to a hosted plan later?

Yes. Once hosted GPT-5.1 and GPT-5.2 plans are released, you will be able to switch without reinstalling the module.
