I'm
very suprised that anyone thought I meant cutting the RSP out of the
picture. I thought the intent was clear, but obviously I used poor wording
(or everyone is very quick to assume people are dumb)
I
meant exactly what Eric is saying, adding it to the API interface so that (for
example) I can send an email to them to renew at my site, just like they did
when they originally registered through the site. As I understand it, currently
the API doesn't support the automatic renewals.
So,
back to the question are there plans to add it to let say manage.cgi in the
future? or is there some way easy way to do it without the manual step that I
might be missing?

Funny, I assumed he meant to
automate through his website at his rates... and he takes the profits. Kind of
like automating the initial reigstration? If you are doing hundreds or
thousands, you don't want to log into resellers.openetc... for every one of
them, you want it to happen through manage.cgi or something.
"Will the OpenSRS client API be
extended to allow for processing of renewals" might be a better way to phrase
it.

Good point Eric,
Shane, modifying the scripts to cut out the rsp
would be similar to taking your name off payroll and still putting in your
40+ hours at work? Not something I would like to do myself (if I ever
get ON the payroll that is).
As rsp's of Opensrs it is our responsibility
to take care of the needs of our customers when renewal time comes
around. I'm not in it for the one time payment and send them on their way, I
want the residual income that comes from the registration renewals as
well as the happy customers that feel secure using a company that can be
contacted anytime with any questions/concerns that may come up.
I would definitely rethink your request and or word
it correctly so we may understand it better.
back to lurking now
Toby.

We make all sorts of modifications for OpenSRS. We could
modify the script
to do this.
Thank you,

RE: renewals
Are there any plans to add renewals into OpenSRS
management so clients can
take care of renewals through the interface,
and not manually by the RSPs?

Coming up on our aniversary...
How are renewals
going to be handled?
I think I remember reading that opensrs would
contact the RSP when
renewals were due, and then the RSP would contact
the customer and
handle the renewal payment, then go to the admin
interface and process
the renewal.
This much is clear, but
exactly what will be sent to RSPs?
I'd like to see an example of
the email that you are generating, so we
can automate the process a bit
on our end of things.
Some of the questions I have include:
Will
there be any attempt to batch this information if we have more than
one
domain renewal due in a day, or a week?
Will there be any attempt to
combine a particular customer's domains
into a single renewal notice if
they are due in the same day? the
same
week?
Thanks,
Ken
