User Roles & Accounts
Administrator

You and/or members of your team will receive logins to the backend. Giving you a complete overview of site operations. You can manage users, track revenue, view statistics of the platform, etc.
Your turnkey marketplace for paid Skype calls is a complete platform. One that allows your End-Users to add funds and buy time with your Operators. Behind the scenes, the system is making financial calculations. By taking the appropriate funds from an End-User’s wallet and placing them into the wallet of an Operator.
To add an extra layer of security, access as an Administrator requires a static IP address. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your platform. We recommend using a VPN for you and your team when logging in to the administrator portal.
