How does OX App Suite work?


Via the ready made landing page (pictured above) that comes by default in WHMCS 8.0, your customers choose the level of functionality they want, and the number of Users/Mailboxes they require, and submit an order via your website.

Upon completing payment for their order, MarketConnect will instantly and automatically provision the OX App Suite service.

Following that, a new dashboard widget provides your customers with instant access to setup and manage their OX App Suite service.


Users create and manage their mailboxes directly from your WHMCS client area, without ever having to leave your website.


Creating a new mailbox is a simple 1 step process, and users have full access to manage, reset passwords and delete users and mailboxes at any time.


Once mailboxes have been setup, end users can login anywhere and at any time directly via the OX App Suite Cloud Portal @ https://us.appsuite.cloud/appsuite/
