5.2.1 API Settings

To activate the API, select 'Simple Mode ON' and enter a valid website URL of the type: http://my-best-domain.com. This will give you access to the set-up of the full functionality of your custom web store, with the exception only of its billing part.

In case you have decided to use our billing processors with our Order Forms, the Simple Mode would suit perfectly well all your custom design requirements. If you desire however to set up a billing system of your own, or to use our billing processors with Order Forms of your custom design, then you need to continue with the next step - submit an 'Advanced Mode Approval Request' and point the billing method that you are going to use.

A member of our Resellers Panel Customer Support staff will then review the contents of your website and ascertain its consistency with our reseller hosting system and with the API Terms of Service. If the website has been successfully verified, a notification with final approval will be sent to you. If some problem has occurred during the verification process, detailed explanation and highly-qualified developer’s assistance will be offered by Resellers Panel.
