WHMCS Marketplace authentication

The WHMCS Marketplace authentication configuration is required and can be set via environment variables.

WHMCS Marketplace Product ID

The WHMCS Marketplace Product ID configuration is required and can be set via environment variables.

The Product ID has to be made available in your CI environment via the WHMCSMP_PRODUCTID environment variable.
