Give your clients a reason to log in every week.

Caddie adds 31 professional website, DNS, email, monitoring and business tools to your WHMCS client area. Clients check their SSL expiry, monitor their uptime, fix their SPF records, find a domain name and print QR codes without leaving your brand, and every tool can point them back to your hosting plans.

For you, the admin

• Leads report: see which clients use which tools and whether they have an active service, with CSV export
• Turn each tool on or off for clients and for admins
• Limit access to all clients, clients with an active service, or specific products
• See every uptime monitor, heartbeat, expiry watch and short link across all clients in one place
• Choose the weekly report day, or make the report opt-in
• Set daily search limits for the Domain Name Suggester and pick which extensions it suggests
• Upsell banners under each tool that link to your plans (editable, or turn them off)

Built the WHMCS way

• Alert and report emails go through WHMCS, using your mail settings and email template, and are logged in the client's email history
• Monitors, expiry checks and weekly reports run with your existing WHMCS cron, with no extra services to host
• Domain suggestions use your WHMCS domain pricing, so clients only see extensions you sell
• Adds a client area menu link and homepage panel automatically
• Light, dark and auto themes with your own accent colors; all CSS is scoped so your theme is never affected
• Works with Twenty-One, Six and Zomex themes
• CSRF protection on every form, and tools refuse to fetch private or internal IP addresses

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my clients need a new account? No. Caddie runs inside the WHMCS client area and uses the login your clients already have.

How do the uptime and heartbeat monitors run? They run with your normal WHMCS cron, about every 5 minutes. An optional one-minute cron job is included for faster heartbeat alerts.

Can I limit the tools to paying customers? Yes. Allow any logged-in client, only clients with an active service, or only clients with specific products. Individual tools can also be switched off.

Can I change or remove the upsell text? Yes. Each tool's upsell line is in an editable language file, and one setting turns them all off.

Will it slow down WHMCS? No. Tools only run when a client opens one, and background checks run in parallel batches during the WHMCS cron. Weekly report stats are pre-calculated each day, so sending reports stays fast.

Does the Domain Name Suggester use my registrar? It checks availability through public registry lookups first and only falls back to your registrar's WHOIS for a few names, so it won't eat into your registrar's API limits. Each client also has a daily search limit you control.

Will clients get flooded with report emails? No. Each client gets at most one weekly report, only when there's something to show, and they can turn it off with one click.

What happens if I deactivate Caddie? Monitors, short links and history stay in the database, so reactivating brings everything back. Deleting the data is a separate, opt-in setting.

Do printed QR codes keep working if I change the destination? Yes. The QR code points at your short link, and you can change where it goes at any time.

What does the yearly renewal cover? The $39.99 license includes 12 months of updates and support. After that, updates and support renew at $19.99/year, and Caddie keeps working even if you don't renew.
