Setting Up Perfect Panel From Scratch: A Quick Guide for New Panel Owners

The first step after installing Perfect Panel is connecting your service providers via API and setting profit margins on each service individually — this is where your final selling price to customers is determined.

After services, the step many new owners wrongly postpone is the support system. A panel with no fast ticket replies loses customers even if the service itself is excellent, because customers measure trust by response speed, not just service quality.

Admin API and User API (version 2 of both) are the infrastructure that any external tool needs to integrate with your panel — whether an auto-reply tool, a Telegram bot, or a payment gateway. Make sure your API keys are stored securely and not accessible to anyone but the admin.

The payment gateway is often the biggest friction point for a new customer — every extra step between "I decided to add funds" and "the balance actually appeared" reduces the likelihood of completing the transaction. Automatic deposit confirmation (instead of waiting for manual review) reduces this friction directly.
