WHMCS IPTV Integration (Lifetime-Ready) — Complete Step-by-Step Setup
Build a full IPTV billing stack with WHMCS + XUI.one. Learn what WHMCS is, why IPTV providers love it, and how to install, secure, and automate provisioning, invoices, emails, and payments—step by step.
💡 What Is WHMCS — And Why IPTV Providers Rely on It
WHMCS is an all-in-one billing & automation platform used to sell subscriptions, provision services, invoice customers, collect payments, and send emails. In IPTV/OTT, it’s popular because it delivers:
- Client Management: unified CRM, client portal, password resets, support tickets
- Recurring Billing: automated invoices, taxes/VAT, credit notes, refunds
- Payments: Stripe, PayPal, Crypto gateways, manual bank transfer
- Automation: daily cron for renewals, suspensions, reminders, and reports
- Extensibility: modules & hooks for IPTV panels (e.g., XUI.one, Xtream UI)
Smarters Billing Solution – XUI.one (Module Overview)
Smarters Billing Solution – XUI.one combines WHMCS with the XUI.one billing module so owners/resellers can automatically create, suspend, unsuspend, and terminate IPTV lines, sync expiry dates, and email credentials — all from WHMCS.
Legal & security note: always download WHMCS from the official vendor and use a valid license. Avoid cracked/modified builds; they can contain backdoors and violate the license.

- A domain with SSL (HTTPS strongly recommended)
