PD Object Storage lets you offer S3-compatible buckets across supported backends through WHMCS, using your selected storage backend. It suits offering storage from a choice of supported backends, 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 Object Storage from its Store. Allow the administrator role that needs to use it.

You also need a supported Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO or DigitalOcean Spaces backend and its authorised credentials. 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 Object Storage and review its Module Settings and configurable options. Start with Backend, Storage Quota, Max Buckets and Placement. Together these describe the resource requested when a service is provisioned; they are not just labels on the order form.

Choose Backend first. Its credentials, location and quota behaviour determine how the rest of the package should be configured.

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.
