Change of Registrant & Trades

Hi there,

since I started with WHMCS Development and pushing the HEXONET Modules (the so-called ISPAPI Branch), I wondered why WHMCS did not consider integrating Domain Trades. Why is is necessary to know about Trades? Whenever you change the Registrant Contact Data, it may result into a Trade - somehow comparable to the IRTP. Mainly caused by changing Organization / First- /Lastname / Email Address but this also depends a bit on the underlying TLD/registry provider

* Depends on the TLD, if a trade is required or not for the change of registrant
* Trades are sometimes NOT free of charge (the pain in WHMCS and the main difference to IRTP)
* All Registrar Modules I ever saw have not covered that case and have this either not working - so you have to contact support or they have this working. In both cases the costs are NOT invoiced in direction of reseller's clients. Just the reseller pays for it.
* Trades also require a non-realtime processing (has to be accepted)

We actually log Trade Costs into the System Activity Log for Reseller's Rerference.

Please consider that topic for a future release.

Best

Thanks to the author for the insightful article! I tried the Sprunki game today, and it was fun. I recommend it to everyone. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, https://sprunki.io/ offers a great experience.
<a href="https://sprunkin.com/">sprunkimods</a>" Sprunki Mods are community-created modifications of the music game Incredibox, enhancing the original gameplay with fresh characters, unique sound loops, and engaging visuals.
With the integrated Domain Trades feature, users can easily manage and track domain name exchanges within the same interface and workflow. Integrating Domain Trades into WHMCS reduces the need for partners to go through multiple systems and processes https://geometry-lite.co
If there is any request from a domain authority to update contact information, integrating domain transactions into the system will help you respond quickly and accurately. https://suikagame.io
In addition: For some TLDs (e.g. .net.au) a Trade also leads to getting the expirydate reset which is also the case for some Transfer Processes.

TLD Pricing Sync / Registrar TLD Sync would be a good place to get such data imported.
