Is there a way to add configurable options value using add order WHMCS API?

[sg34]

I want to update the quantity value in the "tblhostingconfigoptions" table by using addorder api. I have tried the config parameter mentioned in the addorder api but it picks the minimum value assigned in the WHMCS config option.

Yes.
WHMCS Developers API allows you to add configurable options when placing an order through API.

Documentation Link : https://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/addorder/

Check Parameter : configoptions : an array of base64 encoded serialized array of product configurable options values.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.example.com/includes/api.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
    http_build_query(
        array(
            'action' => 'AddOrder',
            'username' => 'IDENTIFIER_OR_ADMIN_USERNAME',
            'password' => 'SECRET_OR_HASHED_PASSWORD',
            'clientid' => '1',
            'pid' => array(1,1),
            'domain' => array('domain1.com', 'domain2.com'),
            'billingcycle' => array('monthly','semiannually'),
            'addons' => array('1,3,9', ''),
            'customfields' => array(base64_encode(serialize(array("1" => "Google"))), base64_encode(serialize(array("1" => "Google")))),
            'configoptions' => array(base64_encode(serialize(array("1" => 999))), base64_encode(serialize(array("1" => 999)))),
            'domaintype' => array('register', 'register'),
            'regperiod' => array(1, 2),
            'dnsmanagement' => array(0 => false, 1 => true),
            'nameserver1' => 'ns1.demo.com',
            'nameserver2' => 'ns2.demo.com',
            'paymentmethod' => 'mailin',
            'responsetype' => 'json',
        )
    )
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

check here :

'configoptions' => array(base64_encode(serialize(array("1" => 999))), base64_encode(serialize(array("1" => 999)))),

Same issue here. Can't make configoptions work. Others have also reported this issue.

[jgupta]

In place of an array and giving base64 encoded string works.

[AbdullahValley]

But I have passed like this and its worked for me :

Getting IDs for config options

$operating_system = ["2" => 2];
$cpanel_cloud_license = ["10" => 21];

Config Options Array Merge for multiple config options

$configoptions_array_merge = $operating_system + $cpanel_cloud_license;

Config Options Array Formatted for WHMCS API

$configoptions_array[] = base64_encode(serialize($configoptions_array_merge));

Sending to API

'configoptions' => isset($configoptions_array) ? $configoptions_array : '',

MUST Remember :
Someones Output is : [YToxOntpOjI7aToyO30=, YToxOntpOjEwO2k6MjE7fQ==]

But Correct Output will be only one always, doesn't matter how many arrays you have passed.

Correct Output will be : [YToxOntpOjI7aToyO30=]

That doesnt work for optiontype 4

[Samanw]

that doesnt work even for option and dropdown

[Jiroun]

@Samanw it worked for me I can help you if you want

I will tell you you should see HTML code inspect
see the number of the dropdown option

then the number of options

then you do it like this

'configoptions' => array(base64_encode(serialize(array($co_id => (int)$co)))),

[jgarcianewemage]

VERY important if it's only 1 item, dont place it inside an array
do 'configoptions' => base64_encode(serialize(array($co_id => (int)$co))),
