How to Install a WHMCS Plugin

Prerequisites

  • A running WHMCS installation (v8.0 or later recommended)
  • FTP/SFTP or SSH access to your server
  • A valid license key from your Intally account

Step 1 — Download the Plugin

Log in to your Intally dashboard, navigate to My Licenses, and click the Download button next to the plugin you purchased. You will receive a .zip file.

Step 2 — Extract & Upload

  1. Extract the ZIP archive on your local machine.
  2. Upload the extracted folder to the appropriate WHMCS directory:
    • Addon modules/modules/addons/your_module/
    • Server modules/modules/servers/your_module/
    • Registrar modules/modules/registrars/your_module/
  3. Ensure file permissions are set to 644 for files and 755 for directories.

Step 3 — Activate in WHMCS

  1. Go to WHMCS Admin → Setup → Addon Modules (or the relevant module page).
  2. Find your module in the list and click Activate.
  3. Enter your License Key in the configuration field.
  4. Click Save Changes.

Step 4 — Verify

After activation, the plugin will automatically verify your license against our server. You should see a green "Active" status. If you encounter issues, check that your server can make outbound HTTPS requests to our API.

Tip: If your server uses ionCube Loader, make sure it is version 12.0+ and enabled in your PHP configuration.
