Reseller Sub-Accounts Module for WHMCS
Resellers keep unlimited end clients inside one WHMCS account, with fixed margins, their own branding and a dashboard of their own.
Why hold reseller customers as sub-accounts?
Because sub-clients created under a reseller's account do not add to your WHMCS client count. WHMCS licenses are priced in tiers by the number of clients, so a few busy resellers with hundreds of end customers each can move you into a more expensive tier. With this module, the reseller is the client WHMCS counts, and their customers live inside that account.
It also changes who does the work. Resellers add and manage their own customers instead of asking your team to create accounts for them.
What can a reseller do from their account?
Each reseller gets a white-label client area carrying their own branding, plus a dashboard with analytics on their sales. From there they create as many sub-clients as they need and run bulk operations when many accounts need the same change.
| Setting | What you control |
|---|---|
| Margin | A fixed margin for each reseller |
| Products | Which products each reseller is allowed to sell |
| Branding | Custom branding on each reseller's client area |
| Commissions | Tracked automatically |
| Sub-clients | No limit per reseller |
Who is this module for?
Hosting companies and service providers that already sell through resellers or channel partners, or want to start. It suits programs where partners should look after their own customers while you keep pricing and product access under your control, and where growth through partners should not push your WHMCS license costs up with it.
What do you need, and what does it not do?
Requirements: WHMCS 8.13 (the version I test against) and PHP 8.1 or newer. No third-party account is needed; reseller setup happens in your own WHMCS admin.
Limits: the module does not change the terms of your WHMCS license, so read those terms yourself to confirm how client counts apply to you. It is also not a separate billing platform for resellers' own products; they sell from the catalog you open to them.
Pricing is $249 once for a lifetime license with the first year of updates and support. Renewal after that is $99 a year and optional, and the module keeps working if you skip it.

Frequently asked questions
Do sub-clients count toward my WHMCS license?
<p>Sub-clients are stored under the reseller's account rather than as separate WHMCS clients, so they do not add to your WHMCS client count. The reseller is the client WHMCS sees. Licensing rules belong to WHMCS, though, so I suggest checking your own license terms to confirm how they apply to your setup.</p>
How do I set prices for each reseller?
<p>You assign each reseller a fixed margin, and commissions are tracked for you automatically. You also choose which products each reseller can reach, so one partner might sell only shared hosting while another sells your full range. Branding is set per reseller too, so each one presents their own name.</p>
What happens after the first year of support?
<p>The $249 lifetime license includes twelve months of updates and support. When that year ends, you can renew for $99 a year to keep receiving new versions and help, or choose not to. The license continues to work either way, so renewal only matters if you want further updates.</p>
