Service ID

Service ID is the number a panel assigns to each service in its catalogue, used on the order form and in the API to say exactly which service an order is for.

Every API order needs a service ID, a link and a quantity. The ID is what fixes the rate, the minimum and maximum, the delivery method and the refill terms. Two services with near identical names, such as followers with refill and followers without, differ only by ID, and the add action accepts whichever number you send without asking whether it is the one you meant.

IDs are local to each panel. A reseller imports a service from upstream under the upstream ID, then gives it a new ID and name in its own catalogue, so the same underlying service carries a different number on every panel in the chain. There is no shared registry, and an ID copied from one panel means nothing on another.

IDs are also not fixed in what they point to. A panel can edit the service behind an existing ID: change its provider, its rate, its description or its refill terms. It can also disable a service and later reuse the number. If you run scripts or saved order lists against a panel, a changed service keeps accepting orders silently at the new rate or quality. Pull the services list through the API before ordering in volume and compare rates, limits and names against what you stored.

What it does not mean

A service ID is not a product code that describes the service. The same ID can point to different supply over time, and matching IDs on two panels prove nothing on their own about the service behind them.
