Paul Battaglia Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm currently testing namecheap registrar plugin against the sandbox account i created. I am trying to register a domain theshopabout.com.au which I know is available but I'm getting the error "Sorry, that domain is not available."

0 Michael Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Have you tried checking it with the normal namecheap (non sandbox) as I believe that's their sandbox api error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, I have not used the production api as I'm being a bit of tight arse. If this is the standard sandbox api response, i didn't get this impression when I signed up for the account. I registered for the namecheap account so I can test the workflow for registering a domain as I'm building a module for another Australian domain registrar. Is there a module i can use that has a fully functioning sandbox api? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Paul Battaglia Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I had a chat with Namecheap and I was advised why .com.au domain registrations weren't working in the sandbox environment. Apparently, as Australian domains require specific information for validating the usage of .au domains this feature was disabled. Something to think about when testing different registrars sandbox envinronments. Michael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
