Reseller Control Panel

Even if you plan to leverage Storefront or our API, you’ll want to start with the Reseller Control Panel (RCP). It’s the central hub where you’ll fund your account, customize your end-user messaging, and configure other important account settings. From here, you can also register and manage all OpenSRS services for your customers.

Account setup

To keep your services running smoothly and deliver a seamless customer experience, you’ll need to set up three areas of your account: settings, funds, and messaging. If you plan on using our API or third-party tools, you’ll also need to retrieve your API key. These videos will walk you through each step:

Update your account
Add funds
Configure messages
Retrieve your API key

You can also follow our RCP Setup Guide, which walks you through account setup, start to finish.

Tips to keep in mind

  • To process Storefront orders, you’ll need sufficient funds in your Reseller Control Panel.

  • Storefront sends out on-brand customer emails (like order confirmations) for you. But to maintain a cohesive customer experience, there are a few policy-related emails you’ll need to configure in the Messaging tab of the RCP:

    • Registrant verification message to registered domain holder

    • WHOIS Data reminder policy

  • Our RCP Messaging Guide covers how to customize these.
