Are there some options if I want to provide my affiliates a whitelabel website?

I could write a horror book about whitelabel websites 😬 I'll try to keep it short:

  • Sending email notification using affiliates/resellers SMTP credentials
  • Configuring multiple domains on the same installation of WHMCS (eg. pinkaffiliate.com, blueaffiliate.com...)
  • Allowing affiliates/resellers to upload a logo and customize header, footer, change colors etc.
  • Restrict products/services and support departments based on affiliate
  • Invoicing end-users from the same WHMCS from multiple companies

All these things are doable but it's a short step from whitelabel to multitenancy. Sooner or later people end up thinking to host multiple brands, affiliates and resellers all in the same system but WHMCS is not multi-tenant.

In my opinion if an affiliate wants tu run his own website, he's not an affiliate but a reseller, a web agency or a wannabe provider. Sell him a reseller package + WHMCS license so he can play any role he wants. My opinion is based on the fact that managing such a structure is frustrating and time-consuming.

If you still want to give it a try, there's a MG module named Multibrand that can be helpful.

Thank you. It does make sense.. especially the security and billing part 😕
