Reselling other software via API

Other software is third-party licenses available for purchase in your client area in the Licenses → Other software section. These licenses can be used on a server without ispmanager. Installation is performed through the server console.

Automating the resale of third-party licenses using the API allows for flexible sales and customer service management, as well as adapting the process to your needs and business strategy.

Resale mechanics

License selection and order. The end customer orders a license in their partner billing account.
License order in the ispmanager client area. The partner then processes the end customer's order and purchases the license in their ispmanager client area. This can be done through API automation or as a manual purchase.
License activation and management. The end customer manages the license through their partner billing account.

License management

Listed below are methods for automatic ordering and management of licenses using the ispmanager API.

All methods support GET and POST requests.

All requests are processed using your real data in your real account. Therefore, if you complete an order with the skipbasket=on parameter, the order will be completed immediately, and funds will be debited from your account balance.

Before making a request, select the ispmanager account API address through which reselling will take place:
