Domain Addon?

[UXmedia]

I see how to create an addon and apply it to a product, thats cool.  But, how do I create an addon for a domain purchase?  

ie: someone purchases a domain and automatically gets a free email. I have a free email package from Polaris that I want to offer to anyone who makes a domain purchase.

Thanks!!

At this stage, it's not possible to create addons for domains, the only way to do that would be to make use of the Bundle System https://docs.whmcs.com/Product_Bundles

that wouldn't work would it? you can't have domain-only bundles, and if the bundle contains a product and a domain, the product will be passed to the cart first for configuration before the domain - under those circumstances, you might as well just have a Polaris product that requires a domain and forget about using a bundle.

the simplest solution, if you're going to include Polaris by default with a domain reg, but not charge the end user for it separately, would be to just add it to the Domain Registration page description - that is just a Language Override with no additional configuration/coding solution required.

alternatively, you could do it back to front and, as I said earlier, make Polaris a product that requires a domain - so when they buy the product, they will need to search for a domain to use with it... 

if you would prefer the user, when searching for a domain, to be offered Polaris as an option (either free of $$$), then that's doable and needs...

1. Polaris to be a separate product which requires a domain;
2. you add a link to that product in the domain configurations page (technically can be virtually anywhere in the cart process - but let's not complicate it for now);
3. the link passes the current domain in the cart to be used with the Polaris product and auto-adds it to the cart (note: if there is configuration required and you want the user to have a choice (i'm thinking billingcycle if you're going to charge for it), then that might need their manual intervention to make a choice).

you could complicate this further by adding the product silently in the background without them having to click a link.... but that would really require hooks, whereas the above was just a quick code tweak to the template (though it could be done with hooks too - especially if you're going to add a lot of conditionality to this).

Thanks @brian!  I am also, right now, trying to add a Promotion... Our sales team can let the user know to use the Promotion Code to get the free email.
