Introduction
The Domain Importer Addon provides a user-friendly interface allowing for importing your existing Domain Portfolio from HEXONET / CentralNic Reseller into your WHMCS system.
The Addon automatically creates new clients out of the registrant contact assigned to the domains if not yet existing. Alternatively you can also specify a single Client Account that is then used as Import Target. Provide Domain Names to Import by copy’n’paste.
The Domain Importer Addon then finally connects to the respective Registrar Module to import the given domain names.
Features
- Supported Registrar Modules: HEXONET, CentralNic Reseller

Incompatibility Notice
In case you have domains with active Trustee Service / Local Presence Service, be aware of that WHMCS itself doesn’t support this Domain Addon. This finally means that such costs can’t be invoiced in WHMCS. There’s an open feature request you can upvote here to get it finally considered for integration in WHMCS.
Still, these domains are included in the import, but highlighted as follows:
Preparatory Work
Care about:
- Domain Pricing Configuration
- if you offer Premium Domains: Premium Domain Configuration (incl. Pricing)
- Domain Add-On Pricing Configuration
- Assign Domain Add-Ons to the TLDs of interest that support them
Installation / Upgrade
Read the article "WHMCS - Module Installation & Upgrade". We are shipping all Modules as part of our Software Bundle.
Addon Activation
Navigate to WHMCS Admin Area > System Settings > Addon Modules
Activate the CNIC Domain Importer Add-on, give the module “Full Administrator” Access Control right.
Import Wizard
In Admin Area navigate to Addons > ISPAPI Domain Importer and fill out the import form to fit your needs. 
First copy’n’paste your List of Domains into the text area and choose the Registrar to import from.
If you wish to import to an existing WHMCS client account, please check Import to and provide the ID of that client account in WHMCS.
Otherwise, we will automatically create client accounts based on the domains registrant data with a random password set. Clients are automatically created with the given payment method and currency. The client can finally use the WHMCS build-in password reset functionality to gain access to his account.
Now, you’re ready. Click on the “Start Import” button to get this started. The import process will import the list of domains sequentially. The progress will be displayed.
