Mobile App: Connecting to WHMCS

From WHMCS Documentation

You can download the WHMCS Mobile app from the App Store and Google Play.

Connecting to WHMCS

To use the WHMCS Mobile app with your WHMCS installation, you must establish a connection profile.

To do this:

  1. Open the WHMCS Mobile application
  2. Upon the first launch, you will be automatically asked to create a new connection profile. Alternatively, navigate to Settings > Manage/Switch Profiles and click the New icon (+).
  3. Enter the required profile details.
    • For WHMCS Installation URL, enter the URL for the Client Area of your WHMCS installation. You can find this as System URL in the General tab at Configuration () > System Settings > General Settings or, prior to WHMCS 8.0, Setup > General Settings > General.
    • For Admin Username, enter the username you use to log in to the web-based admin panel.
    • For Admin Password, enter the password you use to log in to the web-based admin panel.
    • For API Access Key, enter your API Access Key. If this is the first time using an API Access key, create one using the steps below and then enter it:
      1. Open the configuration.php file in your WHMCS installation directory using a text editor.
      2. Add the following line to the end of the file:
        $api_access_key = "YOUR_API_ACCESS_KEY";
        Replace YOUR_API_ACCESS_KEY with a randomised series of letters and numbers. You can use the following special characters:
        ! @ # $ % . ( ) * [ ] - _
      • Save the file and upload it to your server.
    • Click Validate Credentials to test the connection.

Upon success, the connection profile will be created and saved and you will be redirected to the app dashboard.
