Prerequisites

Before creating your first client line, confirm:

  • Your reseller panel is active and you can log in successfully
  • Your credit balance shows the correct amount from your pack purchase
  • You have a client ready — either a paying client or yourself for testing
  • You have IPTV Smarters Pro installed on your phone for line testing
  • Your client tracking spreadsheet is open and ready to log the credentials

Creating the Line: Step-by-Step

The line creation process in your panel takes under 60 seconds:

  1. Log into your panel using your reseller credentials in Chrome.
  2. Navigate to "Create Line" (the exact label varies slightly by panel version — look for "Add Line", "New Subscription", or "Create User").
  3. Enter a username. Create a unique identifier for this client. Recommended format: first two letters of first name + last name + number. Example: jasmin_patel_01. No spaces. Keep it short enough to type easily.
  4. Enter a password. Use a mix of letters and numbers, minimum 8 characters. Example: Patel2026JP. Avoid using the client's name as the password — if they share it with someone, you lose revenue.
  5. Set duration. Select the subscription length: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. The corresponding credits are consumed immediately on creation.
  6. Set connection limit to 1 (one simultaneous stream per line). Clients wanting two concurrent streams need two separate lines.
  7. Click Create / Save. The line is created instantly. The panel displays the full connection details.
  8. Copy all details immediately. Before closing the creation confirmation, copy: username, password, server URL, M3U URL, and expiry date into your tracking spreadsheet.
Expert Tip: Give every client a slightly different username format to make them easy to identify in your panel at a glance. Consistent naming conventions save time when managing 50+ clients.

Understanding the Two Credential Types

Your panel provides two types of credentials for each line. Understanding both ensures you can support any client device:

Xtream Codes API (Server/Username/Password)

The most widely supported credential format. Works with TiviMate, IPTV Smarters Pro, GSE Smart IPTV, and most dedicated IPTV apps. Consists of three fields:

  • Server URL: The server address (example: http://server.iptvreseller.store:80)
  • Username: The unique username you created
  • Password: The password you set

M3U URL (Playlist Link)

A single URL that contains the full channel list as a playlist. Format example: http://server.iptvreseller.store/get.php?username=CLIENT&password=PASSWORD&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

Works with: VLC Media Player, some Smart TV apps, and any IPTV player that accepts M3U playlists. Use this for clients on devices where Xtream Codes login is not available.

Use Xtream Codes for Firestick, Android phone, iPhone, and Android TV box clients. Use M3U for VLC on PC, Smart TV apps that only accept playlist URLs, and MAG box clients (who use portal URL + MAC address instead — handled differently).

Testing the Line Before Sending

Always test every new line before sending credentials to a client. The process takes 30 seconds and prevents the worst first impression:

  1. Open IPTV Smarters Pro on your phone.
  2. Tap "Add New User" → "Login with Xtream Codes API".
  3. Enter the server URL, username, and password exactly as shown in your panel.
  4. Tap "Add User" and wait for channels to load (30–60 seconds).
  5. Navigate to a live channel — confirm it plays within 5–10 seconds.
  6. Check a sports channel and a news channel — confirm both stream correctly.
  7. If all good, remove the test user from your app and proceed to send credentials to the client.

Sending Credentials to Your Client

Send credentials via WhatsApp as a clear, formatted message. Here is a template:

Your IPTV subscription is ready! Server: [SERVER URL] Username: [USERNAME] Password: [PASSWORD] Expires: [DATE] Setup guide for your device: [Link to your setup PDF or our device guide page] Any questions, message me here on WhatsApp. Enjoy!

Also send the appropriate device setup guide — direct clients to our supported devices page for step-by-step guides on every major device type.

Helping Clients Set Up on Their Device

Most clients will set up independently with a good guide. For those who need more help:

  • WhatsApp text walkthrough: Send numbered steps matching exactly what they see on their screen. Be specific: "Tap the three dots in the top right corner → Settings → Add Playlist → Xtream Codes."
  • WhatsApp video call: Screen share their phone or show your own Firestick setup if they are on the same device type.
  • Pre-recorded setup video: Record a 2–3 minute setup walkthrough on your Firestick and save it to send to clients as needed — a major time saver for common setup questions.

Common First-Line Issues and Solutions

IssueMost Likely CauseSolution
Channels won't loadCredentials entered incorrectlyRe-send credentials, confirm copy-paste accuracy
Only some channels workDevice buffering or weak Wi-FiTest internet speed, recommend Ethernet
App not accepting server URLWrong URL formatConfirm http:// or https:// prefix is included
Expiry shown as wrong dateTime zone difference in panel displayConfirm expiry in panel — client device timezone may differ
'Invalid login' errorSpaces in username or passwordConfirm no trailing spaces when client copies credentials

Tracking Client Lines

Maintain a spreadsheet with these columns for every client line:

  • Client name | Phone number | Username | Password | Server URL | Created date | Expiry date | Duration | Amount paid | Payment method | Notes

Update this spreadsheet immediately after creating every line, renewal, or modification. This is your business record — more reliable than relying solely on the panel for client information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under 60 seconds once you are familiar with the panel. Fill in username, password, duration, and connection limit — click create. The panel instantly generates the credentials.
Most panels create lines one at a time through the standard interface. For bulk line creation, contact our WhatsApp team to discuss options for resellers needing to create many lines simultaneously.
Their subscription clock starts from creation, not from when they first connect. If a client purchases a 1-month subscription on Monday but does not set it up until Thursday, they have approximately 27 days remaining.
Most panels start subscriptions from the moment of creation. To delay a start date for a client purchasing in advance, you can create the line on the agreed start date rather than when payment is received.
A trial costs zero credits and lasts 6 hours (Standard) or 24 hours (Premium). A line consumes credits and lasts 1–12 months as specified. Trials are for conversion; lines are for paying clients.
The panel typically shows the last connection time and sometimes the device type — useful for troubleshooting. Exact device model visibility varies by panel configuration.

Conclusion

Creating your first IPTV client line takes under 60 seconds. The key habits that separate successful resellers: always test before sending, always log credentials in your spreadsheet, and always send a clear setup guide with credentials. Within your first week, this process becomes completely routine. Get started with your panel from IPTVReseller.store today.
