Integrating the Storefront features with your website

IMPORTANT

The StoreFront is now DEPRECATED and will be removed shortly. All Resellers are encouraged to stop using the Storefront and begin using the new powerful SuperSite and PartnerSite. Click here to review the SuperSite and PartnerSite Guide >>

If you already have a website entertaining your existing clients, At Your Servers - Web Hosting by Rovin Net even allows you to integrate the essential Storefront features with your website, enabling your Customers and Sub-resellers to access all your products and services via your website.

All you have to do is copy the script for the feature that you wish to integrate, and paste it to your site. The major features that you would wish to integrate are listed here.

§ Integrating Customer/Reseller Login with your Website

You can integrate Customer Login as well as Reseller Login with your website. You need to put in the following code to integrate the Login with your Website -


<form method="POST"
action="https://www.foundationapi.com/servlet/AuthenticationServlet" name="LoginForm">
<input type="hidden" name="redirectpage" value="null">
<input type="hidden" name="currenturl" value="http://<Your Branded URL>">
<input type="hidden" name="pid" value="<Your Reseller Id>">
<input type="text" name="username" value="" size="30">
<input type="password" name="password" size="30">
<input type="hidden" name="role" value="<role>">
<input type="submit" value="Login" class="submit">
</form>
 

<Your Branded URL> - Here you need to put your Branded URL, you can check the same from your Reseller Control Panel by going to Settings -> Branding -> Storefront & Control Panel -> URL. Here you can either use the Partially Branded URL or the Fully Branded URL. To set the Branded URL, you can refer to the article on Branded URLs for your Storefront.

<Your Reseller Id> - You can get your Reseller Id from your Control Panel by going to Settings -> Personal Information -> Primary Profile. Here the first field is the Reseller Id, the value of which you need to put in here.

<role> - If you are integrating Reseller Login, then you need to put in role as Reseller and if you want Customer Login, then put the role as Customer.


§ Integrating New Domain Purchase [Check Availability] Tool with your website

The steps for buying a New Domain Name are as follows:

1. Checking Domain Availability

2. Filling the Domain Order Form

3. Payment Process

4. Actual Registration

Of these steps, you can choose to have the Check Availability box at your end on your website or on the Reseller Storefront Server.

In order to directly link to the Check Availability page use the link below -

http://<#YOUR BRANDED URL#>/servlet/CheckAvailabilityServlet?actionkey=add

Replace <#YOUR BRANDED URL#> in the above URL with your Branded URL, which you can find at Settings -> Storefront & Control Panel -> URL, in your Reseller Control Panel. This will bring up the Check Availability box from where any of your Customers can start placing an Order for a Domain Name.

If, however, you wish to have the Check Availability box on your server as a part of your website, you can use either of the Check Availability form codes given below.

<form name="ChkAvailForm" action="http://<#YOUR BRANDED URL#>/servlet/CheckAvailabilityServlet" method="get"><br>
<input type=hidden name="suggestalternatives" value="true"><br>
<input type=hidden name="validatenow" value="true"><br>
<input type=hidden name="actionkey" value="add"><br>
<p align="center">www.<input name="domainname" value="" size="20"><br>
<select name="tld"><br>
<option value=".biz">.biz</option><br>
<option value=".info">.info</option><br>
<option value=".com" selected>.com</option><br>
<option value=".net">.net</option><br>
<option value=".org">.org</option><br>
<option value=".us">.us</option><br>
<option value=".name">.name</option><br>
<option value=".in">.in</option><br>

<option value=".ind.in">.ind.in</option><br>
</select><br>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Check"><br>
</form>
 

OR

<form name="ChkAvailForm" action="http://<#YOUR BRANDED URL#>/servlet/CheckAvailabilityServlet" method="post"><br>
<input type=hidden name="suggestalternatives" value="true"><br>
<input type=hidden name="validatenow" value="true"><br>
