Reselling is a type of partner relation between two companies. One of the companies provides services. The other company buys those services and sells them to its customers. For example, "M" company develops panels for hosting automation, virtual machines management, physical servers and data center equipment management. Access to panels is granted under licenses. The company "N" decides to sell M's licenses to its customers. To be able to do so, it joins the partnership program and buys licenses from "M". After that, the company "N" sets its own prices and gains profit on reselling margin.
Both companies use billing systems to sell services. In this case, one of the companies will be the seller, while the other — the reseller. Meanwhile, BILLmanager, WHMCS or custom solution using API can be used as the reselling billing system. More details are provided in the Table "Interaction of billing systems" below.
