Support answers on WhatsApp in SAST, usually inside three minutes. When a customer complains at 20:00 on a Saturday during a Springboks match, you are not waiting for an overseas panel to wake up.

What is an IPTV reseller?
An IPTV reseller is a business that buys streaming capacity wholesale from a panel supplier and sells it on to their own customers. The supplier runs the infrastructure — servers, channel feeds, apps and the on-demand library. The reseller owns everything the customer sees: the brand, the price, the WhatsApp number and the support.
The unit of trade is a credit. One credit runs one line for one month, so a customer buying a year uses twelve. You buy credits in bundles at a wholesale rate, charge whatever your market bears, and the difference is your margin.
It is a low-capital business. There is no stock to hold, no premises required and no technician to dispatch — R650 is enough to start with 10 customers, and you can run it from a phone.
Why IPTVPass
Why choose us as your IPTV panel supplier?
Most panels selling to South African resellers are run from Europe or Asia, priced in dollars and asleep when your customers are watching. IPTVPass has been running IPTV in this market since 2019.
Paid in rands, to a local account
Credits are priced and invoiced in ZAR. No dollar exposure, no card declines on foreign gateways, no explaining a forex fee to your own customer.
Margins you set yourself
We publish the credit price and stop there. Whether you sell at R99 or R199 in Cape Town or Durban is entirely your call — we never contact your customers or undercut you.
The same line-up we sell retail
Your customers get the identical 22,000+ channels and 90,000+ on-demand titles our own subscribers get. There is no stripped-down reseller feed.
Panel credits in rands

Worked example
What can you earn as an IPTV reseller in South Africa?
Your profit is the gap between what a credit costs you and what you charge. The table assumes you sell a line at R108 a month — roughly the going retail rate in South Africa — but you set your own price, so treat this as arithmetic rather than a promise.
| Tier | Your cost | Profit per line | 25 customers | 100 customers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter — 10 credits | R65 | R43 | R1 075 | R4 300 |
| Dealer — 25 credits | R55 | R53 | R1 325 | R5 300 |
| Distributor — 50 credits | R45 | R63 | R1 575 | R6 300 |
| Master — 100 credits | R39 | R69 | R1 725 | R6 900 |
| Enterprise — 250+ credits | R32 | R76 | R1 900 | R7 600 |
Per-line profit is monthly and recurring — a customer who renews for a year earns it twelve times. The figures are before your own costs: marketing, data, and the time you spend supporting customers.
Inside the panel
What do you get in the reseller panel?
The panel is free — you pay only for credits. Everything below is included from the first bundle, apart from sub-resellers, which unlock at the Distributor tier.
Create a line in about 30 seconds
Enter a username, pick a package, hit create. One credit is deducted and the customer's login works immediately — no waiting on us, no ticket, no business hours.
Free 24-hour trials that cost you nothing
Generate as many test lines as you need without spending credits. Most South African buyers want to see a Premier League match load before they pay, and a trial closes that objection on the spot.
Sell under your own brand
Your customers see your name, your WhatsApp number and your prices. Nothing in the app, the playlist or the panel points back to IPTVPass unless you want it to.
Build your own dealer network
From the Distributor tier you can create sub-resellers, hand them credits at a rate you set, and let them run their own customers. Their usage rolls up under your account.
Every output format, one line
Xtream Codes API, M3U playlist, MAG portal and Enigma2 all come from the same credential set — so a customer can move from an Android box to a Smart TV without you re-issuing anything.
See what is actually happening
Live connection status, current stream, expiry dates and usage per line. When a customer says it is not working you can see whether they are connected before you start troubleshooting.
Credits never expire
Buy 50 today and use the last one in two years. Unused credits are not forfeited, and they are not tied to a monthly commitment.
Anti-freeze servers, built for SA connections
Load-balanced European and local edge servers tuned for Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, Rain and fibre providers like Openserve and Vumatel — including the evening peak when everyone is streaming at once.

Four steps, and none of them involve a contract or a credit check. Most partners are selling within a few hours of the first message.

We open a demo panel with two credits and unlimited 24-hour trials, so you can create a line, watch it and show a customer before any money changes hands.

Credits land in your panel within minutes of payment clearing. Set your own prices, create your first line and keep every rand above the credit cost.
Reseller questions
IPTV reseller questions, answered
12 straight answers about credits, margins, branding and support — the things resellers actually ask before they commit. If yours is not here, our partner team replies on WhatsApp around the clock.
What is an IPTV reseller?
An IPTV reseller buys streaming credits in bulk from a panel supplier and sells subscriptions to their own customers under their own brand and prices. The supplier runs the servers, the channel line-up and the apps; the reseller owns the customer relationship and keeps the difference between the credit cost and the retail price.
How much does it cost to become an IPTV reseller in South Africa?
With IPTVPass the entry cost is R650 — the Starter bundle of 10 credits at R65 per credit. There is no joining fee, no monthly panel rental and no minimum monthly spend. The panel itself is free; you pay only for credits.
What is a panel credit?
One credit creates one month of service on one line. A customer buying a 12-month subscription uses 12 credits, and a customer on a single month uses one. Credits are deducted when you create or renew a line, so you always know exactly what a sale costs you.
Do IPTV panel credits expire?
No. Credits sit in your panel until you use them, with no expiry date and no monthly commitment. Buying a larger bundle to reach a lower per-credit price does not put you on a clock.
How much can an IPTV reseller earn?
It is the gap between your credit cost and your retail price. On the Distributor tier a credit costs R45; selling that line at R108 a month leaves R63 per line per month, or R6 300 a month across 100 active customers. You set the retail price, so the margin is yours to decide.
Can I sell IPTV under my own brand?
Yes. Lines you create carry your business name, and your customers deal with your WhatsApp number and your pricing. IPTVPass is not named in the panel output, the playlist or the apps your customers use.
Do I need technical skills to run an IPTV panel?
No. Creating a line is a form with a username, a password and a package length. If you can set up a customer on a phone contract you can run the panel. We walk you through the first few lines on a WhatsApp call.
Can I give customers a free trial?
Yes, and trials do not cost credits. You can generate unlimited 24-hour test lines, which is how most South African resellers close a sale — the buyer watches a live match on their own TV before paying anything.
How do I pay for credits from South Africa?
Instant EFT, card or crypto, invoiced in rands to a South African account. Credits appear in your panel within minutes of the payment clearing, so you can buy at 21:00 and activate a customer at 21:05.
Can I create my own sub-resellers?
From the Distributor tier upward, yes. You can open sub-panels for your own dealers, allocate them credits at a price you choose, and see their usage roll up under your account — so you can build a network in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town without managing every end customer yourself.
What support do IPTV resellers get?
A direct WhatsApp line to technical support, 24/7, answering in South African time with an average reply under three minutes. From the Master tier you also get a named account manager rather than a shared queue.
What are my responsibilities as a reseller?
You own the relationship with your customers: their billing, their support expectations and their consumer-law rights under the Consumer Protection Act and POPIA. You are also responsible for making sure the way you operate complies with South African law. We supply the platform, the credits and the technical backing — we do not advise on your legal position, and you should take your own advice before trading.
Still deciding?
Ask for a demo panel. Two free credits, unlimited 24-hour trials, and nothing to pay until you have seen it working on your own TV.
