Integrations overview

This guide describes the various SiteLock integration options for partners to integrate SiteLock products into their offerings. SiteLock website security solutions are offered to channel partners via the Direct API, Control panel plugins, and Sectigo Reseller Area (including the API).

A typical partner profile is a service provider selling SiteLock as an upsell item with their hosting plans or rolling SiteLock into their existing offering as a value add/differentiator.

SiteLock delivers automated website protection against all kinds of security threats and vulnerabilities. Partners can integrate the following features:

  • Webpage Scanning

  • Malware remediation

  • CMS patching

  • CDN

  • WAF

  • Website backup

  • PCI compliance

These are generic industry solution names—​SiteLock has proprietary names for these features.

Integration options

The following three integration options are available to channel partners.

Direct API

You can place orders through the SiteLock Online Provisioning API which allows the end-customer to configure the products. This is a very simple technical integration, especially for existing Sectigo resellers. The direct API supports all operations available through the SiteLock Dashboard.

An estimated integration timeline is 60-120 days for developers with knowledge of XML/SOAP API.

Control panel plugins

The SiteLock Web Hosting Automation Made Easy (WHMCS) Plugin allows you to place orders for SiteLock products and enables your customers to integrate their websites with SiteLock Web Security capabilities.

An estimated integration timeline is 30-60 days for administrators familiar with the respective integration platform (WHM/cPanel, WHMCS, and more).

Sectigo Reseller Area

You can place orders through the Sectigo Reseller Area (SRA) and the AutoApplyOrder API which allows the end-customer to order SiteLock products. This is a very simple technical integration, especially for existing Sectigo resellers.

An estimated integration timeline for existing partners is 1-2 days. For new partners who sign up through the SRA page, an estimated timeline is 2-4 weeks. The expertise needed includes the knowledge of the AutoApplyOrder API and an understanding of REST API.
