Using enom with GBP

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone could help. Our WHMCS uses GBP as the default currency and we have a reseller account with enom. Is there away that WHMCS would do a conversion when it passes the info to enom?

 

I asked enom and they said:

 

"Hello,

 

WHMCS uses our API system. Our API system only allows currency in US dollars. Please get with WHMCS to provide you with a conversion mechanism."

 

Is there a conversion mechanism and if so were does one find it or has anyone got an alternative way of doing this?

 

Thanks

I believe I need it to convert from GBP to USD before it gets sent to enom as their api only recognises USD. As say I had a domain on for £9.95 there system would only pick up $9.95 as far as i can tell which would mean I would be loosing out. Unless I understood enom incorrectly. If any other none US based carts have experience with enom would be grateful with any work arounds that you may have had to do etc.

 

Hope that makes more sense.

 

Thanks

I think you've misunderstood.

 

The way it works is that you add funds to Enom by credit card or Paypal. The minimum deposit is $100.

If you advertise a domain for £10, once the client has paid, WHMCS will register the domain using the credit in your account - it will deduct the pricing set within Enom (probably $8.95), not the £10 that your client has paid.

Yes, you understood incorrectly :D

 

You dont send "amounts" to enom - the "buy" cost depends on yoru investement with enom and your account type (and upstream provider if a sub account)

 

Your "sell" price is what you charge on your website and take the payment for

 

Normal business practice would be to charge more than it costs + the transaction fees (twice)
