HostShop – Products & Services Questions

HostShop products and services support: articles about how a set up and manage the items you sell - web hosting, domains and more - via HostShop.

How do I offer hidden products, purchasable only via a direct link?

If you wish to make a product purchasable only via a direct link rather than being publicly accessible via the shop, you can set a product to Hidden. This will prevent it from showing on your HostShop order page when users and customers view your shop. The generated link provided in your Product Catalogue will still work as normal, allowing you to still offer these products directly to specific clients as required.

How do I add a billing contract to a service?

You can manually assign a billing contract for a current hosting service to a StackCP User. This allows you to bill them automatically at a set price and for a predetermined renewal period.

To do this:

Head to Customers > StackCP Users.

Select Options > Manage on the StackCP User who has the service you want to add the billing contract to.

Under the Access & Contracts section, you can add a contract to a service (with the exception of a package), by selecting Manage > Add Contract to Service.

With packages, rather than adding a contract to the service you need to add the package to a Plan. There are two ways you can do this. You can either add a plan to the StackCP User and then assign the package to the Plan or you can directly convert the package to a Plan.

To do the former you need to click on Add Plan at the top of the Access & Contracts section and select the plan you wish to add before committing with the Add Contract button.

Then on the Plan select Manage Packages.

You can then select the packages you wish to add to the Plan.

Alternatively, you can select Add Service to a Plan and this will let you add the package to a new Plan.

How do StackCP Users pay with balance in HostShop?

Before StackCP Users can pay with balance in HostShop you will need to either add balance as a product they can purchase or they will need to earn balance as commission from the affiliate system. You can find more information on these topics here:

Setting up balance products in HostShop
Setting up the affiliate system in HostShop

Once a StackCP User has some account credit they can select it as the payment gateway at the checkout.

Note: You'll need to have enabled Balance as a payment gateway here.

What are the product description variables in HostShop?

When creating a Product for your HostShop setup and adding a description, you’ll note that there are some variables you can add. These list the limitations and features that are - and are not - available for that package type, dynamically.

Complete List of Product Description Limit Variables

This information pulls directly from your set package type limits. So, if you set up a package type to have the Malware Scanner available and have mailboxes up to 10GB in size, these variables will display these values accordingly. It means that you don't have to copy them across for every one of your Products manually.

These will need to have double curly brackets around them, and start with the tag ‘limits.’, for example:

Note: ‘limits.display.’ will show the value of the entry you call. So, in the example above, it would show the allowed size of the mailboxes. Meanwhile, calling just ‘limits.’ and then the tag will return true or false depending on if the function is enabled or not.

You can also use an if statement with the variable to check if it’s true and take action as necessary. For example, if we wanted to check if the Web Builder is available for a package and then display something accordingly, you can use:

{% if limits.webBuilder %}

Here's a full list of the available variables for package limits:

How do I add a Product Image in HostShop?

One of the new features introduced in HostShop 3 is the ability to add images to your products. Adding images not only enhances the visual appeal of your HostShop store but also helps convey more information about the products you offer, making it easier for customers to understand and engage with your offerings. Whether it's a logo, or a promotional banner, visuals can create a more professional and trustworthy storefront - helping you stand out and drive more interest in your services.
