Questions about charging through the api

[rwc]

I'm trying to set up a series of pages do the following.

 

1. Get the user information and create the client (if necessary)

2. The user signs up for a basic service

3. Charge the user for the basic service

4. Make other offers (upsells)

5. Create the order/products & charge the account correctly

6. Create the correct module

7. Done

 

I know the basic api calls, but I'm not sure how to properly do #3--how do I run a charge through whmcs (and make sure it goes through correctly) and then apply that amount towards the products orderd in step #6?

 

Thanks!

When you call AddClient, theres a field for the credit card information. After this is done, you will need to call CreateInvoice. Once the invoice is created, you can call CapturePayment to run the charge. That will return either success or failure depending on whether it went through or not.
