Updating

RelyPay includes a native one-click updater with built-in backup protections:

• Automated checks: Queries the release server daily and caches update status.
• Safety rollback: Captures a pre-update snapshot before applying file changes.
• Flexible workflows: Supports both automated one-click upgrades and manual ZIP replacements.

Addons → RelyPay → Global Settings → Update Status

One-click update

1. Go to Addons → RelyPay → Global Settings → Update Status. The Current Installation panel shows the version you're running now.
2. Click Check for Updates. If a newer version is available, its release notes appear.
3. Click Update Now. RelyPay downloads the release, backs up first, applies the update, and reloads.

TIP

Every one-click update takes an automatic backup before it changes anything, and restores automatically if something goes wrong. See Backup & restore for details.

Automatic daily check

RelyPay polls for new releases once daily and caches the response:

• Instant visibility: The Update Status panel displays update notifications immediately upon admin page load.
• Admin control: Applying updates requires explicitly clicking Update Now.

Manual update

If you'd rather update by hand — for example, if outbound HTTPS from your server is restricted:

1. Download the latest ZIP from your client area.
2. Replace the modules/addons/relypay/ directory on your WHMCS install with the new files.
3. Open Addons → RelyPay so the module re-syncs its deployed files.

INFO

A manual update replaces the addon files directly, so it does not create the automatic pre-update backup that the one-click flow does. Take your own backup of modules/addons/relypay/ and your database before you begin.

Lifetime and Support & Updates

• Leased licenses: Includes all updates while the subscription remains active via Update Now.
• Lifetime licenses: Grants perpetual rights to the installed version. Upgrading to newer releases requires an active Support & Updates plan; an expired plan keeps the current version running normally.

See Licensing for how the license types differ.

If an update won't apply

If Update Now is disabled or an update fails:

• Common causes: Expired Support & Updates plan, server file permission issues, or temporary network timeouts.
• Safe state: Pre-update backups restore files and database tables automatically on failure. See Error reference and Troubleshooting.
