In-depth definition
A main panel — also called a parent panel — is the largest tier in the SMM reseller hierarchy. It sources services from providers (or runs its own networks), offers them to end customers at retail, and resells wholesale access to child panels. Running a main panel is capital-intensive: you need reliable service sourcing, a payment stack, fraud tools, and 24/7 support. In return, you set the pricing for everyone below you.
