• API Email Address > API Username
• API Key -> API Key
• Press Save Changes

12. Continue navigating to Setup > Products/Services > Domains Pricing

Enabling access to previously owned domains via reseller platform

There's a way to import previously created domain names on HOSTAFRICA to your WHMCS/Blesta or API integration.

Login to HOSTAFRICA Client Area.

Navigate to Client Area > Domains > Reseller Area

In opened Dialog Box select all domains you want to access through the reseller platform and press Assign.
