ResellerClub will automatically create a custom Domain Name field in which the customer must enter the SSL certificate’s domain name during the order process. You can customize a display name for this field in the Custom Fields tab, but you must use the Domain Name|Display Name format.

Pricing #

When offering SSL certificates, you can offer them as either one-time products or recurring products. We recommend recurring products because they allow you to use automatic invoicing and renewals at the end of subscription periods. To configure this, select Recurring for Payment Type in the Pricing tab for the product. Set the prices for Annual and Biennial billing cycles; they are the only supported terms.

Alternatively, to offer certificates for only one year, set them as either Recurring, defining only the Annual billing cycle, or as a One-Time product if you do not want automated renewals.

Provisioning Process #

After you create it, the product will appear as a regular product that clients can add to the cart.

Sales use the following process:

1. The client purchases and pays for the desired certificate.
2. The system activates the order or you activate it manually, according to your configuration.
3. The system sends the SSL Configuration Required email template to the client with a link to configure the certificate in the Client Area.
4. The client provides the necessary configuration details.
5. The system sends the certificate data to the Certificate Authority for validation.
6. The Certificate Authority issues the certificate.
7. The system sends an email to the client with instructions to install the certificate on their hosting account.

Test Mode #

If you want to use Test Mode, you must create a separate account on ResellerClub’s dedicated testing environment.

• This is completely separate from the live system.
• You cannot use your live account details for testing.
