Products can only be added within a product group. Once you have created one or more product groups, you will be ready to create products for them. This quick guide shows you how to create a new product within your WHCMS back office.
NOTE: A valid license for WHMCS is required to access the admin area of a WHMCS installation. Fortunately, a license for WHMCS is included with all of our Reseller Hosting plans. Want to learn more about WHMCS features? Be sure to check out our Reseller Hosting Product Guide.
