Free API to invisible autoorder for existing customers.

[altomarketing]

Api: A way to develope things outside where you have your whcms installed, it can work in joomla with jumi for example.

 

What we did is a php where by opening it your customer will add an order automatically (pid)

 

In our case for example we configured the whmcs email marketer for:

 

after 20 days of being customer we send an email "invitation to activate service trial xxx"

 

Within the template has a simple email link to "activate service here" rutaaestephp.php?clientid=xx where:

 

xx: each customer id

pid: below code according to the service you want to autocreate, autoactivate.

 

 

The first part of this code is to define the connection

 

$url = "http://www.MIWHCMS.com/includes/api.php"; # URL to WHMCS API file
$username = "JUANGUERRA"; # Admin username goes here
$password = "BACHATAROSA"; # Admin password goes here

$postfields["username"] = $username;
$postfields["password"] = md5($password);

//
$salidaok = 'clientes/api-ok.php'; // php a lo mando si sale ok

 

Then we define clientid sent by url and ip for security

 

//variables de URL
$postfields["clientid"] = $_GET['clientid'];
$postfields["clientip"] = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

 

and the rest of php to create order

 

//que hace el api
$postfields["action"] = "addorder";
$postfields["pid"] = "xxxxxx"; //for example 123 is pid=123 your service number.
$postfields["billingcycle"] = "monthly";
$postfields["promocode"] = "EM-Correton"; // offer a discount if you want
$postfields["paymentmethod"] = "paypal";
$postfields["autosetup"] = "true"; // if not it will be as pending..

//sobre emails que envia
$postfields["sendemail"] = "true";//true= it sends setup of service
$postfields["noemail"] = "true"; //true=dont send order email
$postfields["noinvoiceemail"] = "true";//true= dont send invoice

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$data = explode(";",$data);
foreach ($data AS $temp) {
$temp = explode("=",$temp);
$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
}

if ($results["result"]=="success") {

$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
//$uri = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\'); NO LO USO POR AHORA, hace que quedes ene l mismo directorio

echo "LOADING...".PHP_EOL;
echo "".PHP_EOL;

} else {
# An error occured
echo "The following error occured: ".$results["message"];
echo "para cliente".$clientid;
}
