Thank you for choosing WHMCS! From configuring basic settings to setting up your store, our simple initial setup process will help you get up and running fast.
The Getting Started Wizard appears the first time that you log in to the Admin Area. These steps help you configure WHMCS with your company information, payment gateways, domain registrars, hosting servers, and MarketConnect products for quick setup.
The Admin Area is the portal that admins access when they work within WHMCS. The WHMCS Admin Area provides access to over 125 features with navigation menus, search functionality, dashboard widgets, and configuration tools for managing your billing system.
WHMCS includes a large number of apps and integrations that we ship with WHMCS by default, and you can find more apps and integrations from the WHMCS Marketplace.
The Admin Dashboard includes quick access to important information in WHMCS, like daily sales figures, support tickets, billing totals, automation status, and customizable widgets that admins can rearrange and configure for their needs.
Customizing the WHMCS admin directory name makes it harder for bots and malicious users to find the login URL for the Admin Area of your self-hosted WHMCS installation.
Use hooks to create custom widgets that display to admins in the Admin Area Dashboard on self-hosted WHMCS installations. You can also customize WHMCS's included widgets.
