PD AWS S3 lets you offer Amazon S3 buckets through WHMCS, using AWS. It suits object storage on Amazon S3, with the resource linked to the customer’s service.

Before you start

Install PD Modules for WHMCS first, connect the account that holds your licence, then install PD AWS S3 from its Store. Allow the administrator role that needs to use it.

You also need an AWS account and credentials able to manage the required buckets and scoped customer access. Check the provider account’s permissions, available locations and capacity before enabling automatic provisioning.

Connect the account

Add the provider connection under System Settings → Servers, selecting this module for the server record. Assign the appropriate server group to the product. Keep provider credentials on the connection, separate from the product’s resource defaults.

Define what the customer receives

Create a product using PD AWS S3 and review its Module Settings and configurable options. Start with Storage Quota, Max Buckets and Versioning. Together these describe the resource requested when a service is provisioned; they are not just labels on the order form.

S3 is object storage, not a mounted server disk. Customers use bucket endpoints and access credentials with a compatible client.

Choose which client controls the product exposes. If you offer configurable options, check that their values match the module’s supported choices and that the defaults describe the service you intend to sell.

Put the service into use

Set the product’s automatic-setup behaviour deliberately. If you want provisioning after payment, select that option rather than leaving setup manual. Keep the normal cron running for subsequent status and usage updates.

Check the first service

Review the bucket or container, endpoint, access details and recorded usage. Use an authorised small test file to check the customer connection before offering the service more widely.

Creating a real service creates provider resources and can incur provider charges. Review the configuration first; use your normal controlled test process for the first provisioning rather than making an order solely to browse the settings.
