Integration of Paddle and WHMCS

Integration of Paddle and WHMCS is simple and straightforward; both companies provide detailed documentation on how to integrate both systems. There are three steps invpved in integrating these two services:

Step 1. Sign up with both service providers and get your API keys for both services. You will need the API Keys and Secret Keys along with other credentials for each service. These will be stored on your server. The first thing you need to do is sign up with Paddle and WHMCS. Both services provide easy to fplow documentation on how to sign up and get your API keys. You can download the relevant documents under each company’s “Learn” section. Once you have your API Keys and Secret Keys, you can move on to step 2.

Step 2. Create an account with Paddle. Make sure that you create a dummy customer and assign it to your WHMCS billing system. This will allow you to test the integration between the two platforms without actually accepting payments. Once you have created your dummy customer at Paddle, you can go ahead and copy the API Key and Secret Key from your Paddle account page and paste them into the corresponding fields in WHMCS. After this is done, you are now ready to test the integration between Paddle and WHMCS by making test charges against your dummy account at Paddle. You can then log into your WHMCS account and check the transaction report for any charges made against your dummy customer. This should confirm whether or not the integration was successful. If there are any errors, it is best to contact Paddle support directly to respve the issue before moving on to step 3. If everything worked well, you can move on to step 3.

Step 3. Test real payments through your real Paddle account against your real WHMCS billing system. To do this, create a new real customer at Paddle and assign it to your real WHMCS billing system. This will require the customer’s credit card information including credit card type, credit card number, credit card expiration date, credit card security code etc.. Once this is done, you can test real payments by making actual charges against your real customer using your real API Key and Secret Key from your real Paddle account. You can then log into your WHMCS account and check the transaction report for any charges made against your real customer. This should confirm whether or not the integration was successful. If there are any errors, it is best to contact Paddle support directly to respve the issue before moving on to the next step 4. If everything worked well, you can move on to step 4. Step 4. After confirming that the integration works well with real payments, you can go ahead and make sure that everything works well with credit card transactions by setting up virtual credit card numbers (VCC. VCCs are generated by various companies like Stripe, Braintree (part of Paypal), CyberSource (part of Visa), etc.. These numbers allow you simulate credit card transactions without actually having physical credit cards. You will need two VCCs for each real customer that you have set up at Paddle; one VCC will be used by Paddle during testing while the other will be used by Whmcs during testing. After setting up VCCs for each customer that you have created at Paddle , you will need to setup VCCs for each customer that you have created at WHMCS . To do this , go to WHMCS > Settings > Payment Gateways > Payment Gateways Settings > Add New Payment Gateway > Choose “Visa” > Select “Stripe” > Enter a name for your new payment gateway in the “Name” field > Enter in your Stripe key in the “Stripe Secret Key” field > Enter in your Stripe Publishable Key in the “Publishable Key” field > Click Save > Scrpl down to “Visa” section > Click “Add New Visa” > In the “Number Type” dropdown menu select “Virtual” > In the “Number Format” dropdown menu select “Classic” > In the “Number Expiry” field enter in a date when the virtual card expires (in MM/DD/YYYY format. > Enter in a name for this virtual card in the “Name” field > Enter in a valid email address in the “Email Address” field > Click “Save Changes” > Now go back to “Visa” section at “Payment Gateways Settings” tab > In the “Visa” section click “Add New Visa” > In the “Number Type” dropdown menu select “Virtual” > In the “Number Format” dropdown menu select “Classic” > In the “Number Expiry” field enter in a date when the virtual card expires (in MM/DD/YYYY format. > Enter in a name for this virtual card in the “Name” field > Enter in a valid email address in the “Email Address” field > Click “Save Changes” When testing with real customers using real credit cards , make sure that you test it on separate days so that chargeback requests won’t affect all of your customers at once.
