White-label GoHighLevel builds for agencies, priced per sub-account, under your brand

White label in GoHighLevel is a set of domains and a logo rather than a switch. The app domain, usually app.youragency.com, is a CNAME that puts your brand on the login page. A branded API domain changes the links the platform generates for forms, surveys and calendars. An email sending domain authenticates the emails your sub-accounts send, a sites domain is set per client for their funnels and site, and a client portal domain brands the login for courses, memberships and communities. HighLevel’s help center is explicit that the DNS records for one domain type must not be reused for another, so each is set up and verified on its own.

The gap most agencies discover late is the mobile app. The standard app your clients install is HighLevel’s, so the choice is the white-label mobile app at $497 a month, the browser-based portal for membership clients, or telling the client. I set the domains, the logo and the terms up once at agency level, check every link a client would ever click, and write down which option you chose for the app so account managers answer the question the same way.

A snapshot is a saved copy of a sub-account’s structure: pipelines, custom fields, calendars, forms, funnels, workflows, email and SMS templates and tags. Loading it into a new client account recreates all of that in minutes. What it does not carry are contacts, phone numbers, connected integrations, payment accounts and anything registered to the previous client, which is why every snapshot I build ships with a per-client onboarding checklist for exactly those steps.

The build is the part that takes time. I set up one master sub-account for the niche, move every business detail into custom values so the name, number and booking link change in one place, then run fake leads through every path until each workflow fires once and only once. Only then is it saved as a snapshot. When the master changes later, the updated snapshot can be pushed to the accounts that use it, which is how an agency improves twenty client accounts in an afternoon instead of twenty afternoons.

On the $497 Founder plan the SaaS Configurator turns the agency account into a product: plans defined in your Stripe account, a signup page under your brand, and a sub-account created automatically from your snapshot when someone pays. HighLevel’s help center notes that sub-accounts created this way have rebilling with a markup switched on by default, so SMS, calls and email are passed to the client at the price you set. The $297 Unlimited plan can pass those costs through at cost but cannot mark them up.

The mechanics decide the margin. HighLevel bills the agency first, usage is drawn from the agency wallet, and your Stripe charges the client, so a client with no card on file leaves rebilling on hold. I configure the plans, the trial rules, the failed-payment handling and the cancellation flow, test a signup end to end with a real card, and document what a client sees at each step. The pricing of the plans themselves is yours; I will show you the cost per sub-account so the number is built on something.
