Configuring TLD & domain prices 

Please see external article to learn how to configure TLDs and domain prices. 

Note about price import preparations

When importing TLD prices using the Webnic API, it is essential that all TLDs and their prices are correctly defined on the Webnic side, in particular in the domain pricing section. If one of the domains does not have a price assigned in domain prices or is defectively configured, the import process for the entire TLD group may fail.

To ensure that the import runs smoothly, make sure that: Each domain has a price defined in the Webnic panel, in the domain pricing section. Defective or incorrectly defined TLDs can cause errors during import that result in the entire process being aborted.
