CWP (CentOS Web Panel) connects supported hosting control panels workflows to LucidCP. Use this checklist to configure, link and validate the module before production traffic.
Procedure
Step-by-step
-
01
Prepare the provider account and plan
Confirm that your CWP (CentOS Web Panel) account is active, create the panel hostname, port and a scoped administrator API credential and prepare the provider-side package, plan or template that LucidCP will sell. Record its exact identifier and use a test environment when available.
Step 1 of 16 · Prepare the CWP (CentOS Web Panel) endpoint, scoped credentials and exact upstream package or template identifier.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -
02
Confirm the module is available
Open Developer → Modules & Gateways and verify that the CWP (CentOS Web Panel) module is installed and available before creating a connection or product.
Step 2 of 16 · Confirm that CWP (CentOS Web Panel) is available in Developer → Modules & Gateways.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -

09
Map the automation and provider package
On Automation Settings, select the CWP (CentOS Web Panel) server or server group and enter the exact provider-side package, plan or template identifier. Complete every module-specific field shown for the selected connection.
Step 9 of 16 · Map CWP (CentOS Web Panel), the server group and the exact upstream package in Automation Settings.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -
10
Set provisioning behaviour
Enable Automatic Provisioning only after the mapping is complete. Review module-specific resource, operating-system, network, credential and lifecycle controls; required fields vary by CWP (CentOS Web Panel).
Step 10 of 16 · Review the lower module-specific package fields and decide whether paid orders provision automatically.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -
11
Configure pricing and billing cycles
On Pricing, enter only the cycles you sell, choose the default cycle and set any one-time setup fee. Confirm currency and tax treatment before publishing the package.
Step 11 of 16 · Set recurring prices, the default billing cycle, setup fee and tax behaviour.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -
12
Add options, requirements and upgrades
Attach optional add-ons, required customer inputs and valid upgrade targets where the package needs them. Do not duplicate values that the CWP (CentOS Web Panel) module already controls automatically.
Step 12 of 16 · Attach only the optional add-ons, order requirements and upgrade paths required by this package.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -
13
Save and verify the storefront package
Save the product, re-open each tab to confirm the values persisted, then inspect the customer store preview for the name, features, available cycles and order requirements.
Step 13 of 16 · Verify the completed package in the customer store before accepting a live order.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -
14
Run a controlled test order
Place a non-production order, complete its invoice and confirm that LucidCP performs account create, suspend, unsuspend, terminate and single sign-on. Check both the LucidCP service record and the provider-side result.
Step 14 of 16 · Complete an end-to-end test order and confirm that provisioning uses the intended package settings.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -
15
Verify customer delivery
Open My Services in the customer workspace and confirm that the delivered CWP (CentOS Web Panel) service, credentials, status, usage information and supported actions are shown correctly.
Step 15 of 16 · Check the delivered CWP (CentOS Web Panel) service and its available customer controls.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface. -
16
Monitor provisioning after launch
Review the module queue, failed jobs, activity log and provider log during the first production orders. Correct the underlying mapping or provider error before retrying a failed action.
Step 16 of 16 · Follow provisioning jobs and investigate any failed module action before retrying it.Select the preview to inspect the full-resolution interface.
Checklist
Best practices
- Start with the smallest API permission set and expand only when a documented action requires it.
- Rotate provider credentials regularly and immediately after a suspected leak.
