Cell C API

Cell C API

Beta version available now through our exclusive reseller, Vander Host.

Description

The IS LTE API provides an easy way to procure and keep track of IS LTE orders. Clients can specify their delivery address, choose their router, and then have the router and SIM card delivered to their home or business. Orders can also be placed by back office administrators using a similar workflow.

Invoices are generated at point of sale, and the actual order at IS only placed once the client has paid for the device. Once the device has been delivered, a pro-rata invoice is automatically generated and charged to the client’s account. This invoice will recur automatically every month unless the order is cancelled.

There is an easy to use top-up portal should clients with to add additional data.

Clients are able to login into a client side portal and view information about their service including all usage, and all top-ups active on the account.

The IS LTE API provides a seamless experience for both the end-user and systems administrators. Behind the scenes the IS LTE API tracks orders, ensures pro-rata is properly calculated, and automatic updates usage. The API will also automatically cancel services at the end of the month if users have requested a cancellation.

IP Whitelisting Requirement

Note: In order for the IS LTE API to work, you have to get your WHMCS server’s IP whitelisted at Internet Solutions. Contact your IS account manager and ask them to whitelist your IP address. Once your IP address is whitelisted, there is a Test Server procedure in the LTE Provisioning Module that can be used to test the link.

The software consists of two modules:

  1. A WHMCS Server Provisioning Module called islte.zip. The is the IS LTE API.
  2. A WHMCS Addon Module called isp_provisioning.zip. This is a WHMCS add-on that has auxiliary functions needed to keep track of provisioning orders such as new devices.

Download

  1. Download and install the file islte.zip and save/decompress to: /whmcs_installation_dir/modules/servers/islte

  2. Download and install this file and save/decompress to: /whmcs_installation_dir/modules/addons/isp_provisioning
