WHMCS ships 7 order-form templates. Which to use per product type, how to mix across product groups, and the conversion optimizations that actually move the needle.
The setup checklist for a production-ready WHMCS — past the installer, all the way to "ready for paying customers." Server spec, settings tour, branding, security, testing.
