VMP Security Reseller Program

The VMP Security Reseller program is for agencies, hosting providers, and consultants who manage WordPress security on behalf of their own clients. Instead of buying a license per site one-by-one, you purchase a license pool and allocate slots from that pool to each client’s site. You also get a single dashboard that summarises the security posture of every client you manage, so you can spot problems across your whole fleet without logging into each site.

Who the program is for

The reseller program is built for anyone who runs WordPress security as a service for others — web agencies who maintain client sites, managed hosts who bundle security into their plans, freelance maintainers, or in-house teams managing multiple brand sites under one company. If you are securing a single site for yourself, the standard premium license is a better fit.

Core concepts

Three terms come up everywhere in the reseller area. Understanding them up front makes the rest of the program easier to navigate.

• License pool. A bucket of license slots provisioned to your account when you purchase a plan. Pools come in fixed sizes (for example 25, 50, or 100 sites). Each slot can be allocated to one client’s site, or left unallocated until you need it.
• Client. An end-user site you manage on behalf of someone else. A client record holds the contact email, the site URL, the license key currently allocated to that site, and the security posture data the plugin reports back. One client occupies one slot in your license pool.
• Plan. The product SKU that defines pool size and renewal terms. Plans are purchased through the public pricing page; the purchase automatically provisions the license pool against your reseller account.

Day-to-day workflow

Most of what you do as a reseller follows the same loop:

1. Onboard a client. Add the client’s email and site URL on the Clients page and allocate them a slot from your pool. The client receives the license key and installs the plugin on their site.
2. Monitor. The Dashboard rolls up everyone’s security state in one view. The Alerts page surfaces items that need attention now, and individual client pages let you drill into a single site.
3. Maintain. When a client churns, revoke their license to free up the slot for another client. When a client is temporarily inactive (for example a site paused for a redesign), suspend instead of revoke so you can reactivate later without re-onboarding.

The reseller area

The reseller area has six pages, accessible from the navigation once you sign in:

• Dashboard. A fleet-wide overview — client counts, license pool usage, average security score, and recent alerts.
• Clients. The list of all clients you manage, with search, filtering by status, and the entry point for onboarding new clients.
• Licenses. Your license pools, with allocation and revocation actions.
• Alerts. Security alerts raised across all your clients, filterable by severity.
• Audit Log. An action history of every client and license change made on your account, for compliance or troubleshooting.
• Plans. The public pricing page where you can purchase additional pool capacity.
