## 3FAQ

Q: What is Email Reselling, and why does it block adding an SMTP provider?

Email Reselling controls whether a sub-account's email usage is billed through the agency's rebilling setup. Some SMTP integrations require this setting to be enabled first so usage and billing line up correctly.

Q: Where do I enable Email Reselling if it's currently off?

From the agency's SaaS configurator page, find the location in question and turn on the email reselling option before attempting to add the SMTP provider again.

Q: Will disabling Email Rebilling affect a sub-account that's already sending email?

Disabling it stops that sub-account's email usage from being rebilled through your agency's markup. Confirm with the client how they'll be billed going forward before turning it off.

Q: Can I re-enable Email Rebilling later if I change my mind?

Yes — the toggle in Email Resell Settings can be switched back on the same way it was turned off, from the sub-account's Manage Client screen.

Q: Does this setting apply per sub-account, or across the whole agency?

It's per sub-account. You'll need to repeat Steps 1–4 for each sub-account where you want to enable or disable Email Rebilling.
