Credits are internal units used to create or extend accounts in a reseller panel. They are not pounds, customers or guaranteed months until the supplier's conversion rules define what each action consumes.
Because rules vary, a package with more credits is not automatically better value. Calculate the cost of the exact durations you expect to activate.
Separate Package Price From Credit Balance
The package price is the cash paid to obtain a balance. The credit balance is then reduced by specific actions. Divide the package price by the included credits for a starting unit cost, but continue to activation rules before comparing.
Build a Credit Conversion Table
Record the current credit cost for one, three, six and twelve months, trials, additional connections and renewals. Add the effective cash cost beside each. Date the table because suppliers can update rules.
- Action name
- Credits consumed
- Effective package cost
- Customer price
- Fees and tax
- Remaining contribution
Ask About Expiry and Inactivity
Clarify whether the balance expires, whether the panel is closed after inactivity and whether minimum top-ups apply. An apparently low unit cost can become expensive if unused credits are lost.
Understand Multi-Connection Rules
An account with more simultaneous streams may consume a multiplier or separate allocation. Do not promise multi-room use until the exact panel cost and subscription connection limit are confirmed.
Handle Trials and Mistakes
Find out whether trials consume credits, whether duplicate or mistyped accounts can be reversed and what evidence is required. Use a checklist before account creation because some panel actions are final.
Keep an Independent Ledger
Record the order date, customer reference, package, credits used, term, expiry and payment status outside the panel. Limit personal data and protect the file. Regular reconciliation reveals unexplained credit changes early.
Calculate Unit Economics Conservatively
Subtract activation cost, processor fees, expected support time, refunds, marketing, tax and business overhead from revenue. Run low-sales and high-refund scenarios. Results are estimates, never guaranteed returns.
Compare the Four Supplied Packages
The listed Sky Glass IPTV reseller packages are £180 for 180 credits, £350 for 350, £850 for 600 and £1,600 for 1,200. Bigger packages do not show a lower nominal price per credit across every tier, so choose by verified activation rules and realistic demand rather than headline size.
Worked Unit-Cost Method
Start with package price divided by total credits, then multiply by the credits consumed for the intended account. Add payment fees, expected support time, refunds, marketing and tax. For example, one nominal credit in a £350 package containing 350 credits starts at £1, but an account consuming several credits costs several pounds before overhead.
Do not use that illustration until the current activation table is confirmed. Some terms or connection quantities may use non-linear amounts, and unused balances may carry expiry or top-up conditions.

- Credits per action
- Fees and overhead
- Conservative selling volume
Monthly Credit Reconciliation
At a fixed date each month, compare the opening balance, purchased credits, each account action, reversals and closing panel balance with the independent ledger. Investigate differences while records are fresh and restrict adjustment rights to authorised staff.
Reconciliation also improves purchasing decisions. If credits remain unused for several cycles, a larger package may increase exposure rather than value. If demand grows, verify that support and compliance capacity can scale before topping up.
