How to Become a Flexiload Reseller: Requirements and Setup

Becoming a reseller means buying airtime balance at a discount and selling it on. Here is what the process actually involves.

What you need

• A National ID
• An active mobile number
• A trade licence — not always mandatory, but it opens higher levels
• An Android phone or a computer
• Opening balance, usually from ৳2,000

The level ladder

Most platforms use a tiered structure. Higher levels pay more commission and cost more to join.

You can usually start low and upgrade later once you know your real volume. Paying for VIP before you know whether you will do ৳50,000 or ৳500,000 a month is guessing.

Choosing an upline

This decision matters more than the joining fee. Ask:

• How fast does balance arrive after I deposit? Minutes is normal. Hours is a problem on a Friday evening.
• What happens when a recharge fails? Automatic refunds, or do you have to chase?
• Can I see my own rate card? If they will not show it, that is your answer.
• Is there support outside office hours? Your busiest time is often their closed time.
• Can I build my own downline? Relevant if you plan to grow beyond a counter.

Setting up

1. Register and verify your number
2. Complete your profile — real name and details, since these appear on disputes
3. Set a strong PIN, different from your password
4. Turn on two-step verification before you load any money
5. Deposit a small first amount and confirm it arrives and credits correctly
6. Send one small test recharge to your own number

That last step is worth doing before your first customer, not during.

Building a downline

Once you are established you can recruit retailers below you and earn on their volume too. The mechanics: you set their rates, they buy from you, you keep the difference.

One rule that is not negotiable — a downline reseller must always sit at a lower level than you. If they match your level, the difference you earn on their deposits is zero, and above it you actually lose money on every transaction they make.

Realistic expectations

A new reseller with no existing shop traffic typically does ৳30,000 – ৳80,000 in the first month. That is ৳500 – ৳1,500 of commission. It grows with regulars, but slowly. Anyone promising ৳50,000 a month from a standing start is selling you something.
