Is there a hook to disable automatic service setup/domain registration for a particular payment method "Stripe"

[royaljaat111]

Hello,

I need a solution to disable an automatic service setup and the automatic domain registration for a particular payment method "Stripe". I need it to review all the orders from stripe to prevent fraud. I know whmcs offers to disable the automatic setup on the product/service page by default. However, that is not a solution because I want to disable automatic setup for a particular gateway only.

I have prepared a hook but it's not working. May someone help me to fix that?

 

<?php
use WHMCS\Database\Capsule;

add_hook('AcceptOrder', 1, function($vars) {
    // Get the order ID
    $orderId = $vars['orderid'];
    
    // Get the order details
    $order = Capsule::table('tblorders')
        ->where('id', $orderId)
        ->first();

    // Check if the payment method is Stripe
    if ($order->paymentmethod == 'stripe') {
        // Log activity
        logActivity("Auto setup prevented for order #{$orderId} using Stripe payment method.");

        // Update the order status to prevent auto-setup
        Capsule::table('tblorders')
            ->where('id', $orderId)
            ->update(['status' => 'Pending']);

        // Return false to abort the auto-setup process
        return false;
    }
});

The AcceptOrder hook point is only triggered when you actually accepts the order - not when the module is provisioning.

You need to use the PreModuleCreate hook point and return abortcmd=true.

You will need to check if the related invoice has been paid with Stripe and only abort the creation if it's not executed by an admin.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your response, I have tried this but doesn't work

 

<?php
use WHMCS\Database\Capsule;

add_hook('PreModuleCreate', 1, function($vars) {
    // Get the service ID from the hook
    $serviceId = $vars['serviceid'];

    // Fetch the order associated with the service
    $order = Capsule::table('tblhosting')
        ->join('tblorders', 'tblhosting.orderid', '=', 'tblorders.id')
        ->where('tblhosting.id', $serviceId)
        ->select('tblorders.paymentmethod', 'tblorders.id as orderid')
        ->first();

    // Check if the payment method is Stripe
    if ($order->paymentmethod == 'stripe') {
        // Log activity to indicate auto-setup was prevented
        logActivity("Module creation prevented for order #{$order->orderid} due to Stripe payment method.");

        // Abort the module creation (prevent auto-setup)
        return ['abortcmd' => true];
    }
});

Works fine when I'm testing. Do you see the line in the activity log?
If your hook is part of a module and that module was first enabled without any hooks, you need to disable and enable the module again for the hook to be registered.

[royaljaat111]

Hello,

It doesn't provide any logs in activity logs and also, doesn't prevent auto-provision when paying through Stripe. I disabled and enabled the module again after the hook was placed.

What could be the issue?

 

[DennisHermannsen]

I assume you called the hook file "hooks.php" and placed in in the root of your module?
If so, try creating a hook file with the following contents:
 

<?php
add_hook('PreModuleCreate', 1, function($vars) {
    die('Test');
});

When clicking "Create" on the service page, it should just show a "Test" message. If that doesn't happen, your hooks has not been registered correctly.

[royaljaat111]

Hello,

I am sorry, You have misunderstood the concept I need. I want to use the universal hook of whmcs on this location:  WHMCSDirectory/includes/hooks/disable_auto_provision_stripe.php

I don't want to add a hook for each server module i.e. cpanel, virtualizor etc.

I need a solution to have one single hook file which can prevent any auto-provision of any services/domains/servers etc when the client selects the stripe and pays his invoice through stripe.

I hope you will understand now.

Best Regards

[DennisHermannsen]

I think we both understood each other then 🙂
If you're building a module (not an included module in WHMCS) that the hook should be a part of, the hook needs to be registered by disabling and enabling the custom module.
If it's just a standalone hook, you don't need to disable/enable anything.

Did the code in my previous message output "Test" on the service page?

[royaljaat111]

Yes, I am getting a Test on the service page when click on create. So what should I do next? 🙂

[DennisHermannsen]

Great, that was just to check if the hook actually registered.
Next thing would be to debug. See if you can print the values of $serviceId and if you can do the same in your if block.

[royaljaat111]

I have tried this code:

<?php
use WHMCS\Database\Capsule;

add_hook('PreModuleCreate', 1, function($vars) {
    // Get the service ID from the hook
    $serviceId = $vars['serviceid'];

    // Log the service ID for debugging purposes
    logActivity("Service ID: {$serviceId}");
    
    die('Test');
    
});

Inactivity logs:

Service ID:

showing blank!

[royaljaat111]

Alright, So I have achieved the goal with this code:

<?php

use WHMCS\Database\Capsule;

add_hook('PreModuleCreate', 1, function($vars) {
    // Get the service ID from the hook
    $serviceId = $vars['params']['serviceid'];

    // Fetch the order associated with the service
    $order = Capsule::table('tblhosting')
        ->join('tblorders', 'tblhosting.orderid', '=', 'tblorders.id')
        ->where('tblhosting.id', $serviceId)
        ->select('tblorders.paymentmethod', 'tblorders.id as orderid')
        ->first();

    // Log the detected payment method for debugging
    if ($order) {
        logActivity("Detected payment method: {$order->paymentmethod} for order #{$order->orderid}");
    } else {
        logActivity("Order not found for service ID: {$serviceId}");
    }

    // Check if the payment method is Stripe
    if ($order && $order->paymentmethod == 'stripe') {
        // Log activity to indicate auto-setup was prevented
        logActivity("Module creation prevented for order #{$order->orderid} due to Stripe payment method.");

        // Return an error message to prevent the module creation
        return [
            'abortcmd' => true,
            'error' => 'Module creation has been aborted because the payment method is Stripe.'
        ];
    }
});

But now, When I try to accept the order manually after reviewing the order, it does not let me create the service. I think I have to add more functionality for the accept order. Any help on that thing.

[DennisHermannsen]

All of your services should be associated with an order (unless you manually added it somehow).

To have the service created when you manually click, just check if $_SESSION['adminid'] is set:

<?php

use WHMCS\Database\Capsule;

add_hook('PreModuleCreate', 1, function($vars) {
    // Get the service ID from the hook
    $serviceId = $vars['params']['serviceid'];

    // Fetch the order associated with the service
    $order = Capsule::table('tblhosting')
        ->join('tblorders', 'tblhosting.orderid', '=', 'tblorders.id')
        ->where('tblhosting.id', $serviceId)
        ->select('tblorders.paymentmethod', 'tblorders.id as orderid')
        ->first();

    // Log the detected payment method for debugging
    if ($order) {
        logActivity("Detected payment method: {$order->paymentmethod} for order #{$order->orderid}");
    } else {
        logActivity("Order not found for service ID: {$serviceId}");
    }

    // Check if the payment method is Stripe
    if ($order && $order->paymentmethod == 'stripe' && !isset($_SESSION['adminid'])) {
        // Log activity to indicate auto-setup was prevented
        logActivity("Module creation prevented for order #{$order->orderid} due to Stripe payment method.");

        // Return an error message to prevent the module creation
        return [
            'abortcmd' => true,
            'error' => 'Module creation has been aborted because the payment method is Stripe.'
        ];
    }
});

Thank you so much DennisHermannsen

It worked like a charm! You are Awesome!! :)<3

[royaljaat111]

Just a quick help. When It prevents auto provision, I got this error message on my email: Function Aborted by Action Hook Code (this is a generic message).

How can I change this message to my custom message? So that my staff isn't confused with this error. I would like to change to:

"Order is placed with Stripe, Kindly activate Manually." Something like that. I hope you understand me well.

[DennisHermannsen]

Changing the actual email would require another hook.
If it's the 'WHMCS Automatic Setup Failed' email, you could do the following:
Stop the message from being sent using the EmailPreSend hook point (return abortsend=true)
In the same hookpoint, use the SendAdminEmail API function to send the exact same email. It would look something like this:

$command = 'SendAdminEmail';
$postData = array(
    'messagename' => 'WHMCS Automatic Setup Failed',
    'mergefields' => array('client_id' => $clientId, 'service_id' => $serviceId, 'service_product' => $serviceProduct, 'service_domain' => $serviceDomain, 'error' => 'Invoice paid using Stripe. Please check order manually'),
);

$results = localAPI($command, $postData);

The "mergefields" are just the variables used in the template. The variables obviously needs to be defined in your script, otherwise they'll just be blank (which is fine if you don't need them!)

You can also use the same API function to send a custom email. Find the documentation here: https://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/sendadminemail/
