How to Sell Child Panels to Resellers

Selling child panels is one of the most lucrative ways to scale your SMM business. It locks in your top buyers and guarantees volume. Here is how to configure it in PanelN.

What is a Child Panel?

A child panel is an exact clone of your SMM panel, given to a reseller. It operates under their own domain name, but all orders placed on their panel are secretly routed to your panel via API, earning you the wholesale margin.

Step 1: Enable Child Panels in Settings

Navigate to Settings > Modules in your admin dashboard. Find the Child Panels module and toggle it to Active.

Step 2: Set Your Monthly Pricing

In the Settings > Child Panels menu, you can configure how much you charge users to rent a panel from you.

  • Monthly Fee: Standard price is typically $10 - $25/month.
  • Free for VIPs (Optional): You can choose to waive the monthly fee for users who spend over a certain amount on your site.

Step 3: Define Available Themes

You can select which front-end themes your resellers are allowed to use on their child panels. Go to Appearance > Themes and click the gear icon to mark specific themes as "Available for Child Panels".

How Users Order a Child Panel

Once enabled, a new "Child Panels" tab will appear in the sidebar of your user dashboard. Users simply:

  1. Enter their custom domain name.
  2. Point their nameservers to PanelN (as explained in the Domain Guide).
  3. Pay the monthly fee using their existing account balance.

Automated Deployment

You do not need to do anything! PanelN automatically deploys the child panel, provisions the SSL certificate, and emails the reseller their new admin login details within 5 minutes.
