Dynadot

Connect Dynadot to handle domain orders and help customers manage their domains through WISECP.

Accessing the Screen

Open Products → Domains → Domain Name Registrars → All Modules → Dynadot: {admin}/module/registrars?module=Dynadot.

What Is on the Screen

Module Settings connects your account. Import lists existing domains; Import Extensions requests extension costs.

Preparing the Dynadot Account

1. Sign in to Dynadot and open Tools → API. Unlock the account using the link on that page.
2. Copy the Production Key. WISECP uses the legacy JSON API; it does not request the RESTful Secret Key.
3. Enter the WISECP server’s outbound IP address under IP Address and click Set IP Address. Allow at least ten minutes for changes.
4. Keep enough account credit for purchases. See the API settings guide and API overview.

Tasks

Connecting and Testing

1. Enter the key in Module Settings.
2. Click Test Connection beside Save Changes. The test requests the domain list without purchasing a domain.
3. Check the result, then click Save Changes. Reopen the form to confirm the settings. No separate server record is needed.

Assigning Extensions and Prices

1. Open Import Extensions and compare its names and costs with Dynadot.
2. If an extension name is incomplete, do not import it. Use Products → Domains → Add Extension instead.
3. In the domain extension list, select Dynadot under Registrar and click Update Extensions.
4. Open the row’s Pricing window. Check registration, transfer and renewal prices, then click Save Changes. Verify the saved registrar and prices.

If the import preview is correct, select extensions and click its Import button. Existing extensions can also receive updated costs and selling prices.

Importing Existing Domains

1. Create the required extensions first. In Dynadot’s Import tab, assign each domain to the correct customer and check its dates.
2. Click Import, then inspect the resulting services under Orders → Services. Importing creates WISECP services without registering or transferring domains.

Domain Orders and Synchronization

Registration sends contact details, the selected period and any configured extension requirements. An inbound transfer needs the current registrar’s unlock and EPP code. Renewals use the selected number of years. Synchronization reads domain status and dates; it does not provide a detailed transfer progress history. Check Dynadot before repeating an uncertain order.

Managing a Domain

Open the domain under Orders → Services. DNS supports nameserver changes and Dynadot DNS records. Record editing handles the root domain; custom host names and entered TTL values are not sent. Keep subdomain records in Dynadot.

WHOIS reads and updates contacts. Shared Dynadot contacts can affect multiple domains. Privacy management depends on the extension and active addon. Transfer reads the lock; change the lock in Dynadot. Get Auth (EPP) Code requests the authorization code.

Customers manage their own service according to permissions and active addons. This integration does not provide child nameserver management, DNSSEC, separate forwarding screens or expired-domain recovery.

Things to Consider

Required Permissions

Setup requires Domain Name Registrars permission. Service operations require their corresponding service permissions.
