WHMCS domain transfer external api returns domain not found error always

Question

I have installed and configured the WHMCS in my wordpress site.I want to transfer a domain using the api functionality "domaintransfer" as action name.But the response from the api always return "Domain not found" error. I am passing the following parameters

1. action : domaintransfer
2. domain : domain name entered(like xxx.com)

Answer 1

You use domaintransfer API function if the domain already in the database, but if you're transferring a domain from another company to yours you should use addorder and set domaintype parameter to transfer.
