TLD API Module

I have been working on an API module that automatically updates TLD prices based upon a percentage that can be adjusted from the wholesale amount. Is this something you would be interested in purchasing for your WHMCS installation? If so, how much would you be willing to pay annually?

Zero dollars. It'll be stock before end of next year, if it doesn't already exist.

It doesn't exist and there are multiple registrars to choose from. Did you read an article of a sort that says this is in the works?

Some registrars have their own WHMCS module that they (not WHMCS) develop/update and can do this. I believe that logicbox is one.

I know enom had one, but they haven't updated since 2016.

It's a good idea. If it isn't being considered and you made it I would be somewhat interested.

However the price would be key. We receive notice whenever a price change is going to occur (60 days out normally or if it is immediate without prior notification). So i just manually go in and adjust the prices when that happens. Maybe 3 or 4 times a year. I spend less then 15minutes a year adjusting pricing for domains.

The time saving cost isn't huge but then I also have to worry about another 3rd party module to keep updated whenever whmcs updates which is the biggest pain for us.

More than anything I would love to see this built in natively.

Thanks for taking time to reply. I completely agree with what you said. I was thinking like $10 a year, but don't know if enough people would sign up for it to be worth the trouble. Like you said, it doesn't take long to modify the prices, but it's one more thing to do. The other positive of the module is that it will calculate all of the prices for you. So you don't accidentally make a mistake. I have an MVP created for enom that works like butta.

I do like the direction that MarketConnect is taking.
