Multiple registrars - Grace and redemption days and fees

Hi,
I'm configuring the grace/redemption periods and fees on our WHMCS.

During the past years we changed many times domains provider. On our database for the same tld we Active domains divided in 4/5 different registrar.

Each registrar has different fees and periods and I have to use the higher price for the fee and the lowest grace period as days seeing that on the setting there is a unique configuration.

I would like to have the possibility to configure grace/redemption periods and fees for each registrar.

Thanks

Riccardo

    Support Multiple domain registrars for Grace & Redemption periods
    WHMCS supports multiple domain registrars to register domains. So if a company uses multiple registers at the same time, Grace & Redemption periods may vary for each. We need to set Grace & Redemption periods per registrar instead of per TLD. As a solution, I suggest that it be possible to get the periods through the registrar module.

I completely feel your pain on this one. Managing TLD configurations in WHMCS when you have active domains scattered across 4 or 5 different registrars is an absolute headache. Having to resort to the "lowest common denominator" for grace periods and the highest pricing for fees just to cover your bases means you're likely leaving money on the table or stressing out your clients unnecessarily. https://www.ipass.com.co

WHMCS does not support grace/redemption periods & fees per registrar for the same TLD.
You must use custom hooks or a custom module.
How to solve it properly:
Keep one TLD config (lowest grace period + highest fee as you’re doing now)
Use a WHMCS hook to:
Detect the domain’s registrar
Override the grace/redemption fee when the invoice is created (or when the action is triggered)
This lets you apply different fees per registrar, even with the same TLD.
Not possible
No native WHMCS setting
No per-registrar TLD configuration in core
Recommended approach
Custom hook (fast, reliable)
Or custom registrar module (best long-term)
If you want, I can give you:
A ready-to-use hook
Or a simple design for a custom module
