One of the biggest advantages of VPNResellers is the credit-based billing system. Unlike traditional wholesale models where you pay upfront for a fixed number of licenses (whether you use them or not), our system charges you only for actual usage on a daily basis.
Let us look at how this works and why it puts more money in your pocket.
How the Credit System Works
The process is simple:
- Add credit to your VPNResellers account (any amount, no minimum)
- Create VPN accounts for your customers as they sign up
- Daily charges are deducted from your credit based on active accounts
- Credits never expire so unused balance stays available indefinitely
The daily rate is calculated by dividing the monthly rate by the number of days in the current month. At the Standard tier ($1.99/month), a daily charge in a 30-day month would be approximately $0.066 per active user per day.
Real-World Scenario: Why Daily Billing Matters
Let us say you sign up 10 new customers on different days throughout the month:
- Customer 1 signs up on day 1 (active for 30 days)
- Customer 2 signs up on day 5 (active for 26 days)
- Customer 3 signs up on day 10 (active for 21 days)
- Customers 4-10 sign up on day 15 (active for 16 days each)
With traditional monthly licensing: You would pay for 10 full monthly licenses = 10 x $1.99 = $19.90
With VPNResellers daily billing: - Customer 1: 30 days x $0.066 = $1.99 - Customer 2: 26 days x $0.066 = $1.73 - Customer 3: 21 days x $0.066 = $1.40 - Customers 4-10: 16 days x $0.066 x 7 = $7.39
Total: $12.51 instead of $19.90. That is a 37% savings.
Cancellations Do Not Waste Money
This is where the credit system really shines. When a customer cancels their VPN subscription, you simply suspend their account on VPNResellers. The daily charges stop immediately.
Example: A customer signs up on day 1 and cancels on day 12. With traditional billing, you have already paid for the full month ($1.99). With daily billing, you only paid for 12 days ($0.80). The difference of $1.19 stays in your credit balance for future use.
Over hundreds of customers, these savings add up significantly. VPN services typically see churn rates of 5% to 10% per month. If you have 500 customers and 40 cancel mid-month on average, the daily billing system saves you roughly $47 per month compared to traditional licensing. That is $564 per year in pure savings.
Credits Never Expire
There is no "use it or lose it" pressure. If you add $500 in credit and only use $200 in the first month, the remaining $300 carries over. This makes it easy to:
- Add credit in bulk when you have cash flow
- Maintain a buffer for unexpected growth
- Avoid the hassle of monthly invoicing
How to Manage Your Credit Balance
A few tips for keeping your credit balance healthy:
Set a Comfortable Buffer
Keep enough credit to cover at least 2 months of your current user base. This way you never risk service interruption if you forget to top up.
Monitor Your Dashboard
Your VPNResellers dashboard shows your current credit balance and daily burn rate. Check it weekly to spot trends and plan your top-ups.
Scale Your Credit with Growth
As your customer base grows, increase your credit deposits proportionally. If you are adding 50 customers per month, make sure your credit additions keep pace.
Comparing Billing Models
Traditional wholesale VPN: - Pay upfront for fixed license blocks (e.g., 100 licenses) - Unused licenses are wasted - Must commit to minimums - Annual contracts common - Overpay during slow months
VPNResellers credit system: - Pay only for active users - Daily granularity means no waste - No minimums or commitments - Credits never expire - Costs scale perfectly with revenue
The Bottom Line
The credit-based billing system means your costs always align with your revenue. You never pay for customers you do not have, you never waste money on cancellations, and your credit is always there when you need it. It is the lowest-risk way to run a VPN business.
