-In order to use the Enom API, you must first contact them and let them know the server IP address where you will be connecting from (the server IP address where you have WHMCS installed).

+To do this:
-* Enter your server's IP address into the "New" field,
 * Click "add".
 ==The Order Process==
-The product will appear in the order process as a regular product which can be added to the cart.  No configuration is performed before purchase.  Once purchased, paid for, and activated, the user is sent an email containing a link which takes them to configure the certificate in the client area.  Once all details have been provided, the configuration data is sent to the Certificate Authority for validation. Once the certificate is issued, it is emailed to the client to install on their hosting account.  No manual intervention is required from you.
+The product will appear in the order process as a regular product that clients can add to the cart.  The system will not perform any configuration before purchase.
 ==Renewal==
-Due to limitations in Enom's API, SSL certificates cannot be renewed. Therefore your clients will need to place a new order when the certificate period ends and it's due for renewal.  This is why we recommend setting up as a one time product in WHMCS.
