How to apply Different Pricing according to number of Letters in Domain name ?

[dimatech]

Hello,

 

This is my first THread in this Forum. I am new to WHMCS and i configure most of things in a good way. however, i face a "problem" when i want to give prices to my ccTLD (.PS). because it deppends on number of letters in the domain. for example.

 

2 letters ( ab.ps) = 500$ one time 250$ recuring

3 letters ( abc.ps) = 200$ one time 50$ recuring

3+ letters ( abcd...)= 30$ one time 30$ recuring

 

how may i apply that? i check the documentation .. there is only a way to limit the number of letters

$DomainMinLengthRestrictions[".asia"] = 4;

$DomainMaxLengthRestrictions[".asia"] = 64;

 

thank you for your help

that's an interesting question... unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to do this simply by modifying some WHMCS settings - you may need to post in Marketplace and pay someone to create an addon to do this.

by default, a TLD can only have one price within WHMCS.

 

are you sure that you can register 2-letter .ps domains? as far as I know, they have to be between 3 & 63 characters for .ps registrations - perhaps the rules have changed since I last checked... and as it's your local ccTLD, you probably know the rules better than me!

Thank you brian for your Reply .. I will wait a while before submitting that to Marketplace.. maybe someone have a solution for that.

 

For ccTLD .. there is always changes in our Country .. yes you can now register 2 letters domain name .. however this is not autmatic registration this is manual one.. and its for local business only ( not international)

 

BTW do you have experinece in programing Module for registerar ?

 

Thanks again

BTW do you have experience in programming Module for registrar ?

some, but there are others with more experience than me who'll be in a better position to help you.

 

I suspect you'll have to have the registrar module written - unless you can find a Palestinian registrar who offers a WHMCS registrar module... even if one of the current WHMCS worldwide registrars offer .ps domain registrations, from what you say, it sounds like they couldn't register 2-letter domains as they're not local.

 

using a custom registrar module, it might also be possible to sell .ps premium names too - depends what the API allows.

Hi there, 
I know this is an old topic, but recently I was searching for the same answear.

So after find a solution, I'm posting it here to help those who may need it too:

<?php

/**
 * WHMCS Hook: OrderDomainPricingOverride
 * 
 * This hook overrides the domain pricing for .ao domains with exactly 3 letters in the SLD.
 * 
 * Place this file in /includes/hooks/custom_ao_pricing.php
 * 
 * Adjust the $threeLetterPrice below to your desired price.
 * 
 * Developed based on WHMCS documentation as of 2025.
 */

add_hook('OrderDomainPricingOverride', 1, function($vars) {
    // Define custom price for 3-letter .ao domains (per year, adjust as needed)
    $threeLetterPrice = 500.00; // Example: $100 for registration/transfer/renewal

    // Extract SLD and TLD from domain
    $domainParts = explode('.', $vars['domain'], 2);
    if (count($domainParts) !== 2) {
        return; // Invalid domain format
    }
    
    $sld = $domainParts[0];
    $tld = $domainParts[1];
    
    // Check if it's .ao and SLD is exactly 3 letters
    if (strtolower($tld) === 'ao' && strlen($sld) === 3 && ctype_alpha($sld)) { // Assuming letters only, adjust if needed
        // Override both first payment and recurring amount
        // Multiply by registration period for multi-year
        $firstAmount = $threeLetterPrice * $vars['regperiod'];
        $recurringAmount = $threeLetterPrice * $vars['renewalperiod'];
        
        return [
            'firstPaymentAmount' => $firstAmount,
            'recurringAmount' => $recurringAmount
        ];
    }
    
    // Otherwise, use default pricing
    return;
});
