Child Panel

Quick Definition

A customizable SMM service website that resellers create under their own brand, while sourcing services from a parent panel at wholesale rates.

Examples

1Sarah purchases a child panel for $50/month from a parent SMM provider, customizes it with her logo and domain (socialboostpro.com), and resells services at a 30% markup.
2A reseller connects their child panel's API to the parent panel, allowing automatic order processing while maintaining their own customer-facing website.
3An SMM business owner runs three different child panels targeting different niches: one for Instagram growth, one for YouTube promotion, and one for TikTok services.
4A digital marketing agency white-labels a child panel as their own in-house SMM tool, offering it to clients without revealing the connection to the parent provider.
5A reseller customizes their child panel's payment methods to accept cryptocurrency, while the parent panel handles all service delivery behind the scenes.

Pro Tips

Compare parent panel providers based on service quality and API reliability, not just on child panel setup fees.

Set your prices strategically – too close to the parent panel risks low profits, too high risks losing customers.

Customize your child panel's appearance completely to build your own brand identity separate from the parent panel.

Create service packages unique to your child panel that combine multiple services from the parent panel for better margins.

Use the ticket system to handle customer support yourself rather than redirecting to the parent panel, which builds trust in your brand.

Question 1 of 5

What is the primary relationship between a child panel and a parent panel?

In-Depth Definition

A child panel is a reseller-focused business model where an individual or company purchases access to create their own branded SMM service platform. The child panel appears as an independent business but relies on a parent (or master) panel for actual service delivery. In the SMM industry, child panels are the backbone of the reseller ecosystem. They allow entrepreneurs to start SMM businesses without developing service infrastructure. Parent panels typically charge a setup fee ($30-100) and monthly subscription ($20-50), while resellers profit by marking up services 20-50%. Child panels can be fully customized with unique domains, logos, and pricing structures.
