==Automatic Domain Synchronization==

The Namecheap module supports automatic domain synchronization for syncing of expiry dates and status changes for incoming transfers.

To enable this functionality, you need to ensure you have the '''Domain Sync Enabled''' in Setup > General Settings > Domains and ensure you have the [[Crons#Domain_Sync_Cron|Domain Sync Cron]] configured on your system.

==IP Registration (Registrar Error Invalid Client IP)==

*In order to use the Namecheap 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)
*This is part of Namecheap's security measures to prevent unauthorised users being able to submit registration requests to your account.
*You can do this by opening a ticket with Namecheap directly asking for your server IP address to be authorized for access to your account
