IPTV Reseller Credit Management Guide

Credit management is one of the practical skills that separates organised resellers from those who constantly scramble to top up. This guide gives you a simple framework for keeping your credit balance healthy without overspending on credits you do not yet need.

Know Your Burn Rate

Your burn rate is how many credits you use per month. Track this by noting your balance at the start of each month and comparing it to the balance at the end. The difference is your monthly credit consumption. After 2–3 months of tracking, you will have a reliable average.

Set a Reorder Threshold

Decide at what credit balance you will purchase a new package — for example, when your balance drops below 30 credits. When you hit that threshold, purchase your next package. This prevents the situation where you run out mid-week during a busy period.

Match Package Size to Burn Rate

If your monthly burn rate is approximately 40 credits, the 50-credit package will last about a month. Moving to the 100-credit package gives you 2–3 months of runway and a slightly lower per-credit cost. Moving to 200 credits gives even more runway and a further cost reduction.

Plan for Seasonal Peaks

Some resellers find that customer demand spikes at particular times of year. Football season, for example, often brings in new customers wanting sports access. Plan your credit purchase timing around these peaks — buying in advance rather than scrambling when demand arrives.

Do Not Hoard Credits Prematurely

While it is tempting to buy the largest package for the best per-credit rate, buying 1000 credits when you have 10 customers is inefficient capital allocation. Scale your package size with your actual customer base, not with aspirations.
