<h1>whoiscart update</h1>You said you'd be interested to hear how whoiscart worked out.
Well, I've finally got whoiscart installed and configured and I'm impressed.
For a program costing around £20 I've had superb support from the whoiscart team. They do offer an install service for and extra $12.50, but in fact installation is straightforward so long as you remember to FTP in binary.
Configuration can be a bit tricky, although that may just be me, as I don't just like things to work I want to understand what I'm doing - and I didn't! However, Luke on whoiscart support got me all the way through to a working system - all I need now are the customers.
The cart can be set up to sell hosting only or link directly into one or more registrar's account for domain registration.
Account creation in whoiscart is automated, and whoiscart can address multiple WHMs.
Integration with PayPal tripped me up - you must use the primary email address on your PayPal account. However, again the problems were entirely mine and after creating a debug file and Luke pointing out that autocreation did not work when using Sandbox they got me sorted out.
PayPal's IPN manual made me wonder if I was up to it, as I have established sales
website hostings that do not use IPN. I wasted a few days before I asked for help. In the end all I had to was change my auto return page from .html to .php and enter that URL in settings! Presto! Done!
I would imagine integration with other payment processors would be as simple, and you can choose from several and use as many as you want to.
Looking back it seemed a lot more daunting than it actually was. All in all it's a well featured program with premium support at a budget price.
My knowledge is limited to
website hosting creation in WebPlus and a bit of HTML tinkering. Whoiscart is in PHP, of which I'd no experience. So if they could talk me through it no one else should have any problems.
Perhaps I should have made this a new thread, but I'm sure you can sort that out if you think it appropriate.
