• Account pending verification: Check your email for a verification message from Flash Trade
• Account suspended: Contact support via WhatsApp at +218 92-5547157

Getting started as a reseller on Flash Trade is simple:

1. Create a free account
2. Fund your wallet with any amount you wish to trade with
3. Buy data at Flash Trade's platform rates and sell to your customers at your own price
4. The difference between your buying price and selling price is your profit

For even better (wholesale) rates, upgrade to an Agent or Vendor account from your dashboard.

• 👤 User: Standard free account. Buy at regular rates for personal or small reselling use.
• 🧑‍💼 Agent: Upgraded account with better wholesale rates. Suitable for moderate-volume resellers who sell daily. An upgrade fee applies.
• 🏢 Vendor: Premium account with the best rates on the platform. For high-volume resellers and businesses. Upgrade fee applies.

All three account types can resell. The difference is the buy-price per unit — Vendor gets the cheapest rates, giving the most profit margin per sale.
