Personal Use (Tenant Mode OFF)
What is Personal Use Mode?

Perfect For:

Pricing in Personal Use Mode
When you buy numbers through your bot:
- You pay the same wholesale price as the web interface
- Price is based on your reseller rank (Elite, Premium, etc.)
- Deducted directly from your PROXNUM account balance

Reseller Mode (Default)
How Reseller Mode Works
In Reseller mode, your bot is public and anyone can use it to buy numbers. You earn by adding a markup to the wholesale price.
Set Your Markup
Add 10%, 20%, 50% or any markup you want
Customers Buy
They pay your price (wholesale + markup)
You Earn Profit
Your markup is your instant profit
Pricing Example
| Service | Wholesale Price | Your Markup (20%) | Customer Pays | Your Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp Number | $1.00 | +$0.20 | $1.20 | $0.20 |
| Telegram Number | $0.50 | +$0.10 | $0.60 | $0.10 |
| Instagram Number | $2.00 | +$0.40 | $2.40 | $0.40 |
💡 Pro Tip: Start with 15-25% markup. Too high = fewer customers. Too low = less profit.
Customer Experience
- Customer starts your bot on Telegram
- Browses available services (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.)
- Selects a service and country
- Pays using built-in Telegram payments or crypto
- Receives phone number instantly
- Gets SMS code automatically when it arrives
Payment Methods
Your bot automatically accepts:
- 💳 Telegram payments (credit cards via Telegram)
- ₿ Cryptocurrency (if you enable it)
- 💰 Manual balance (if you add for specific users)
Managing Your Reseller Bot
From your Telegram Bot Dashboard, you can:
- 📊 View sales analytics and revenue

- 📝 View all orders and their status
- 💰 Track your profit margins
- ⚙️ Adjust markup percentage anytime
Tenant Mode (Team Collaboration)
What is Tenant Mode?
Tenant mode transforms your bot into a private team workspace where you create sub-accounts (tenants) for colleagues or clients. Each tenant:
- Has their own unique Tenant ID and password
- Has a separate balance you allocate
- Can buy numbers using their allocated balance
- Cannot access other tenants' data
Use Case Examples:
- 🏢 Agency: Give each client access with their own balance
- 👨💼 Team: Let colleagues buy numbers from company balance
- 🎓 Education: Students use shared account with limits
- 💼 Freelancers: Subcontractors use your balance for projects
Enabling Tenant Mode
- Go to Telegram Bot Dashboard
- Find the "Tenant Mode" toggle
- Switch it to ON
- Click Save Settings
⚠️ Important: When you enable Tenant Mode, your bot becomes private. Only users with tenant credentials can use it. Public customers will be asked to provide Tenant ID.
How Tenants Sign Up
When Tenant Mode is enabled, users who start your bot see authentication options:
Option 1: Admin (You)
- Select "I'm Admin"
- Enter your Proxnum email
- Enter random Telegram number (security)
- Manage tenants, view all orders
Option 2: Tenant (Team Member)
- Select "I'm a Tenant"
- Choose "Sign Up" or "Log In"
- System assigns Tenant ID (e.g., T123456)
- Set password
- Start buying numbers!
Creating & Managing Tenants
Automatic Tenant Creation
When a new user signs up through your bot:
- Bot automatically generates unique Tenant ID (e.g., T123456)
- User sets their own password
- Tenant starts with $0.00 balance
- You receive notification in dashboard
Managing from Dashboard
Visit Tenant Management to:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Add Balance | Allocate funds to a tenant so they can make purchases |
| Deduct Balance | Remove funds from a tenant (e.g., if they prepaid) |
| Enable/Disable | Activate or suspend a tenant's access |
| View Details | See tenant's transactions, orders, and balance history |
Tenant Balance Workflow
1
Tenant Signs Up
Gets Tenant ID & password
2
You Allocate Balance
Add $50 to their account
3
Tenant Buys Numbers

Pricing in Tenant Mode
Tenants see the same prices you pay (wholesale + your markup). The balance deducted from their account goes to pay for the number on your main Proxnum account.
Example: If a number costs you $1.20 (wholesale + your 20% markup), the tenant pays $1.20 from their allocated balance. Your main account is charged $1.00 (wholesale price).

Frequently Asked Questions
Zero setup cost! Creating a Telegram bot is free. You only need an active Proxnum account with balance to purchase numbers.
Not simultaneously on the same bot. You can only have one mode active at a time. Turn Tenant Mode OFF for personal use, or ON for reselling to customers.
The bot will notify them that they have insufficient balance and cannot purchase numbers until you add more funds to their account.
You can disable a tenant to prevent access. Contact support if you need to fully delete a tenant account.
Customers pay you directly (PayPal, crypto, bank transfer, etc.). Then you manually add credits to their tenant account in your dashboard. When they buy numbers, the system deducts from their tenant balance.
