Tebex
Run your game server like a business
About Tebex
Tebex is a monetization and commerce platform for game developers, server owners, and creators, letting them sell in-game items, subscriptions, season passes, and DLC through customizable in-game stores or webstores. As the Merchant of Record for every transaction, Tebex handles payment processing, global sales tax compliance, fraud detection, and chargeback disputes so creators can monetize without operational or financial risk. Trusted by leading communities like Hypixel and FiveM, it supports 130+ payment methods across 200+ countries.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Merchant of Record model offloads payments, tax, compliance, and chargeback liability entirely
- Transparent flat 5% fee with no hidden gateway or chargeback costs
- Zero-code setup that gets a store live in around 30 minutes
- Automatic global sales tax calculation, collection, and remittance
- 130+ payment methods across 200+ countries for international communities
- Deep native integration with popular game servers (Minecraft, FiveM, Rust, ARK, and more)
Cons
- The 5% flat fee can be higher than a raw payment gateway like Stripe at large scale
- You trade some pricing margin and low-level control for convenience and risk coverage
- Advanced webstore customization (custom domain, HTML/CSS editor) requires the paid Plus plan
- Focused on game/community monetization, so it is not a general-purpose ecommerce platform
