xtmhost Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 What is the best practice for using ENOM Reseller which is in USD, but selling as GBP? I read somewhere that currency can be updated in ENOM account but this does not appear to be the case... If I am forced to work with USD and convert it to GBP upon inserting into the WHMCS database, what is the best method? I run a script that grabs my prices from ENOM and inserts automatically so some sort of API that gives me the exchange rate each day would have been great. xe.com would have been a great example but it costs at least $799 a year which is just not feasible. Am i looking in the wrong place? What is the best solution? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 i'm not an eNom user, so I can't help with the importing - though I assume you're using the eNom Pro addon for importing the TLDs? their is a currency exchange rate update option within WHMCS... http://docs.whmcs.com/Currencies so worst case scenario, you could import them in USD and then let the cron convert the prices to GBP - you'd end up with pricing in both USD and GBP for the TLDs... if you didn't want to sell in USD, you could either tweak the templates to remove the option to change currency or perhaps a hook to set the currency to GBP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I need to do this too.... waiting on a response in another thread to see if the enom pro addon does this... have sent an email to plugin vendor too but no response yet... Will update this thread when I hear back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 thinking about it, there would be another way - which, in some ways, is slightly more obvious than the method I previously suggested. you could just run an SQL update query on the tblpricing database table, specifying only domainreg/tran/ren - you basically only need to multiply the existing amounts by the exchange rate... might get slightly awkward if not all your domains were from eNom and you only had to modify some, but it would certainly be doable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question:D I think I have been misunderstanding how it works. I take it the only important part of ENOM is the 'Your Cost' column under domain pricing on the ENOM site. Whatever price I set in WHMCS is the price the customer will pay, and I'll be charged what is under 'Your Cost' in Enom. Example: I could set .com at £12 GBP, ENOM will charge $9.45 which converts to £6.52, profit = £5.48 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 As it imports the domain tlds and the prices, would the prices not go into whmcs somewhere? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can charge your customer a price in any currency, Enom will take your cost price in USD from your credit. This should work without problems as long as you keep check on exchange rates and price increases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
