A credit is a unit, not a universal duration
Different panels can assign different credit deductions to the same customer duration. You need the active panel's current mapping before comparing two offers. A low price per credit is not enough information on its own.
Use a simple calculation
Package credit cost = credits deducted × price paid per credit. Add any payment fees, currency conversion and support cost separately. For example, if a package deducts 1.2 credits and your purchase cost is 2 currency units per credit, the credit component costs 2.4 currency units. This is arithmetic, not a quote from a provider.
Build a small duration table
| Field | Record from your active panel |
|---|---|
| Customer duration | The exact package length |
| Credit deduction | The amount deducted when creating it |
| Credit purchase cost | Your actual cost, including the purchase tier |
| Renewal behavior | Whether renewal extends or replaces remaining time |
| Trial policy | Limits, expiry and any credit deduction |
Verify before buying more stock
Check a small transaction against the panel balance. Save the before-and-after values and invoice reference. A support message is useful, but the active deduction behavior is what determines your inventory model.
When researching Lion OTT reseller resources or Golden OTT, ask each site for its current mapping and top-up conditions. Do not transfer a credit rule from one panel to another merely because the package names look similar.
Plan support as well as stock
Track renewals, open support cases and unused credit balances together. Avoid selling a long period solely because your panel balance can cover it. You also need a clear process for customer questions, account changes and service interruptions.
Keep access restricted
Use individual operator accounts where available, protect administrator access and review transfer permissions. A spreadsheet can help with accounting; it should not become a shared plaintext password list.
