OpenSRS Domain Billing
+ BillingServ
Automate domain registration billing, renewals, and customer management for your OpenSRS reseller business. No manual invoicing. No chasing payments. Just billing that runs itself.
What is OpenSRS domain billing?
OpenSRS is a wholesale domain registrar owned by Tucows, one of the largest internet infrastructure companies in the world. It has been serving domain resellers since 1999 and today supports over 18,000 resellers managing more than 17 million domains across 700+ TLDs. Hosting companies, web agencies, and ISPs use it as the backbone of their domain reseller business.
What OpenSRS doesn't provide is a way to bill your end customers. You manage wholesale purchases and account balances within OpenSRS, but invoicing your clients, collecting payments, and chasing renewals all sit outside the platform. BillingServ connects to the OpenSRS API to handle that entire billing layer automatically.
How BillingServ powers your OpenSRS billing
BillingServ connects directly to the OpenSRS API. When a customer purchases a domain, BillingServ registers it through your OpenSRS account and generates the invoice. As domains approach expiry, renewal invoices go out automatically with payment reminders sent ahead of the due date.
Renewals are collected through your connected payment gateways without customers needing to take action. If someone doesn't pay, you know before the domain lapses. Your customers get a branded portal to manage their domains and invoices. You get a clear view of what's renewing and what's outstanding.
Everything your OpenSRS billing needs
Automated Domain Registration
When a customer buys a domain, BillingServ registers it via OpenSRS and invoices them automatically. No manual steps between purchase and delivery.
Renewal Billing & Expiry Tracking

Stripe & PayPal Payments
Accept card payments, PayPal, and direct debit through BillingServ's built-in payment gateway integrations. No separate payment setup required.
The billing layer your OpenSRS reseller business needs
OpenSRS gives you access to one of the most established wholesale domain platforms in the world. What it doesn't give you is a way to invoice your customers, automate renewals, or manage the billing side of your reseller operation. That's the gap BillingServ fills. It sits between your OpenSRS account and your customers, handling registration billing, renewal cycles, and payment collection without manual work on your end.
The setup is straightforward and the integration works out of the box. Whether you're billing for a handful of domains or managing a growing portfolio across multiple customers, BillingServ keeps the billing side running in the background so you can focus on the business.

Plans from £12/month with no hidden fees, no per-transaction markup, and no surprise costs as you scale.
