Importing domain TLDs from NameSilo
One of the main features of the NameSilo module which sets it apart from all our other domain modules is the Manage Packages feature.
Firstly we need to create a "Package Group" for the domains so let's do that by going to [Packages] > [Package Groups] and create a package group for all the domains.
We will be using "Domains" in this guide.
Next we need to go back to the Manage NameSilo page above after installation and click on "Manage Packages".
Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Package Name | Enter a package name, you can use either {domain.tld} ".com" or {domain.tld_uppercase} ".COM" |
| Description | You can write a description about the TLDs. |
| Use renewal prices for package upgrades | When enabled, upgrading to this package will use renewal prices if they are set. The regular price will be used if this setting is disabled. |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Account | If you have multiple accounts for NameSilo select the account to use for these domains. |
| Name Servers | Enter your name servers which the new domains will be set-up with. |
| Option | Description |

| TLD | Your selected domain TLDs will show up here. |
| Currency | If you have more than one currency in Blesta it will show each currency per TLD for you to pick a price for. |

Finally select the Domain package group you created at the start and hit Save packages. All the packages will be created for you straight away.
Create an order form
The final step is to create the order form where your customers can purchase your domain services. You can create an order form by going to [Packages] > [Order Forms] > [Add Order Form] 
.

The Basic section consists of the following options:
| Field Name | Description |

| Type | "General" is the default, however for this guide we need "Domain and Other" selected. |
| Field Name | Description |

| Default Client Group | Select the client group the client will be assigned after ordering, this is good if you prefer to group customers depending on the product they first purchase. |

Creating Packages
Welcome Email
The "Tags" section describes tags that may be used in the welcome email. The welcome email content is inserted into the "Service Creation" email template under [Settings] > [Company] > [Emails] > Service Creation. Only details unique to this service should be entered into the welcome email section for the package.
Sample Email
