Reseller vs White Label: the difference and what to choose

The difference between the reseller and White Label models: brand, start speed, domain, price and who each fits. A comparison table and 18 Q&A — for the right choice.

Short answer

A reseller takes the product wholesale and sells under the StarsPaymee (or a ready bot) name. White Label is a full platform under your own brand, name and design, with the StarsPaymee API on the backend. A reseller is fast and simple; White Label is for branding and independence. In both, delivery and payment are automatic.

What's the main difference?

Both models rely on StarsPaymee's infrastructure and deliver Stars/Premium/Gifts automatically. The difference is in the level of branding and control.
