Can an existing Starlink purchased from a retailer or end-user be transferred to a Reseller account?


Eligible Starlink kits and services purchased directly from Starlink can be transferred to authorized resellers. All terminals are eligible for transfer to resellers.

  • Note: The Residential transfer restriction of 120 days after purchase or 90 days from service activation does not apply to Enterprise accounts.

Instructions to transfer your Starlink to a Reseller as an end-user:

  1. End-User needs to cancel service for the service line to be transferred

    • This can be completed via the portal from the " Manage" button under the home page
    • Select "Cancel Service" for the Starlink you wish to transfer
  2. End-User will need to click the "Transfer" button on the "Home" tab under "Manage" to unlock the kit from their account

    • This can be completed via your Starlink account from the "Manage" button under the home page
    • In the "Devices" section, locate the Starlink being transferred and select "Transfer"
    • Note: Selecting this button will stop service immediately regardless of time left in the current billing cycle. The "Transfer" button will only be accessible after the service is cancelled.
  3. End-user will need to communicate the Starlink ID to the Reseller

    • Your Starlink ID can be found under the "manage" button under the "Home" tab

     

  4. Reseller will need to add the serial number to their account 

    • Reseller will need to do this via the "Add and Unlock Starlinks" button under the Dashboard Page
    • Using the API, the Reseller will need to do this via the [POST] function under "User Terminal"

     

  5. Reseller will need to create a new service line to activate service for that Starlink 

    • This can be completed via the dashboard tab under "All Service Lines" (see How do I activate my Starlink/service line using the dashboard?)
    • This can be completed via the API via the [POST] function under "Service Line" and the [POST] function under "User Terminal"
    • Note: There may be an overlap for the first billing period when the kit is transferred; reseller is responsible for managing expectations with the end user.
