FAQ #
How do I turn on the PRO features? #
Install the WHMCS Topeta Framework (formerly JobFew Helper) and enter your license key there. When it shows Active, the Spaceship module unlocks the PRO features automatically.
My sync shows no TLDs #
Check that your license is active in the WHMCS Topeta Framework (formerly JobFew Helper). TLD sync needs a valid PRO license to reach the live pricing feed.
Does it support multiple currencies? #
Yes. The module detects your WHMCS currency and maps the pricing feed to it.
