How a Child Panel Works: Setup Steps for an SMM Child Panel

A child panel is your own branded SMM panel linked to a parent panel by API. You point a domain to the panel nameservers, order the child panel, connect your provider key and set your own prices. On MSP Panel a child panel costs ₹1,800 per month, and the services are paid for separately from your MSP balance.

How a child panel works in one minute

A child panel is a small SMM panel that runs on your own domain and gets its services from a parent panel. A customer places an order on your site, the order is sent to MSP Panel through the API, and the difference between your selling price and your MSP price stays with you.

You pay a monthly fee for the panel itself, and you pay separately for the services your customers order, taken from your MSP Panel balance. The full meaning, benefits and comparison are on the SMM child panel page. This guide only covers the setup steps.

Before you start: what you need

  • A domain name you control, for example yourbrand.com.
  • An MSP Panel account with some balance for services. Create an account if you do not have one.
  • The child panel fee: ₹1,800 per month on MSP Panel. Terms apply, and the fee is for the panel, not for services.

Check the pricing page and the terms before you pay.

Child panel setup steps

  1. Point your domain. At your domain registrar, change the nameservers to ns1.perfectdns.com and ns2.perfectdns.com.
  2. Wait for the change to take effect. Activation usually takes about 3 to 6 hours if the nameservers were set correctly.
  3. Submit the child panel order. Once the nameservers are changed, order the child panel from your MSP Panel account.
  4. Log in to your new admin. Use the admin password you provided and open yourdomain.com/admin/settings/providers.
  5. Connect MSP Panel as your provider. Add your API key, which is on the Account page of your MSP Panel account. See the API page for the API v2 details.
  6. Import services and set prices. Pull the service list and add your own margin on each service.
  7. Add payment methods. Open yourdomain.com/admin/settings/payments, choose Add method and pick the payment method you want to accept.

Pricing example: how the margin works

Suppose a service costs you ₹10 per 1,000 on MSP Panel and you list it at ₹20 per 1,000 on your own panel. When a customer orders 1,000, MSP Panel is paid ₹10 from your balance and ₹10 stays with you. Always check live rates on the Services page, because prices change.

ItemExample
Your MSP Panel price₹10 per 1,000
Your selling price₹20 per 1,000
Margin per 1,000₹10
Monthly panel fee₹1,800

Privacy, white-label and cancelling

Your panel is white-label. Customers order on your website, and the order is sent to MSP Panel under your user account. There is no refund on the monthly fee, but you can cancel or terminate the child panel at any time by creating a ticket.
