Fungies.io — Merchant of Record payments, API & webhooks, customizable checkout
Introduction
Viewbot.tv is the leading viewbot and engagement platform for Twitch and Kick streamers. Trusted by thousands of creators worldwide, it offers a suite of tools — viewbot, chatbot, followbot, clipbot, vodbot, and pollbot — that help streamers grow their channels faster. The platform operates on a subscription model with weekly and monthly plans, serving a global audience that pays via credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cryptocurrency.
The Challenge: Tax-Compliance Payment in just a few minutes
As Viewbot.tv scaled, the team needed a reliable payment infrastructure that could handle global transactions, subscriptions, and tax compliance without pulling engineering resources away from the core product. The typical path — building custom payment flows, integrating Stripe directly, handling VAT and sales tax across jurisdictions, managing chargebacks — would take weeks of development time and ongoing maintenance.
| Requirement | Why It Mattered |
|---|---|
| Fast integration | No time to spend weeks on payment plumbing |
| Full API & webhook support | Needed tight integration with their platform logic |
| Predictable pricing | Variable fees make revenue forecasting harder |
| Customizable checkout | Checkout had to match the Viewbot.tv brand |
| Tax & compliance handled | Global customers across many tax jurisdictions |
The Solution: Customizable Checkout by Fungies.io
Viewbot.tv chose Fungies.io as their Merchant of Record. As an MoR, Fungies.io takes legal and financial responsibility for every transaction — handling payment processing, fraud prevention, PCI compliance, chargebacks, and automatic tax collection and filing worldwide (including VAT, GST, and sales tax). This means Viewbot.tv does not need to register for tax in every country their customers are in.
The decision came down to four things:
1. Setup in minutes, not days or weeks. Fungies.io is built for developers. The API is clean and well-documented, webhooks fire reliably for all payment events, and the entire integration works out of the box. Viewbot.tv had their payment system live in a single session — no back-and-forth with support, no waiting for approvals that take days.
2. Full API and webhook integration. Fungies.io’s API covers the full payment lifecycle: creating checkout sessions, managing subscriptions, handling renewals, and processing cancellations. Webhooks deliver real-time events directly to Viewbot.tv’s backend, so the platform can instantly activate subscriptions, handle renewals, and respond to failed payments — all without manual intervention.
3. Flat-rate fee that never changes. Fungies.io charges a single flat rate of 5% + 50¢ per transaction. No monthly platform fees, no tiered pricing that shifts as volume grows, no surprise charges. Viewbot.tv knows exactly what each transaction costs, which makes margin calculations straightforward.
4. Customizable checkout. Fungies.io supports both hosted and overlay checkout options. Viewbot.tv was able to configure the checkout to match their dark-themed brand — colors, fonts, layout — so the payment experience feels native to the platform rather than a jarring redirect to a generic payment page.
Implementation and Features Utilized
The technical integration was handled entirely through Fungies.io’s API and webhooks. Viewbot.tv’s developers connected their subscription plans to Fungies.io’s product catalog, configured webhook endpoints to receive payment confirmation events, and embedded the checkout flow into their existing sign-up and upgrade paths. The whole process took minutes, not the days or weeks that a typical custom payment integration would require.
Fungies.io supports over 250 payment methods through its native Stripe integration, which meant Viewbot.tv could immediately offer credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local payment methods to their global customer base — without any additional configuration.
The Results: Checkout system that feels native to the brand

| Fee predictability | Variable and complex | Flat 5% + 50¢, no surprises |
| Payment methods | Limited | 250+ via Stripe integration |
| Chargebacks & fraud | Team’s responsibility | Handled by Fungies.io as MoR |
Viewbot.tv now runs its entire subscription billing through Fungies.io. New subscribers go through a branded checkout, subscriptions are managed automatically, renewals are handled with 10% loyalty discounts applied at the platform level, and all tax obligations are met without any action from the Viewbot.tv team.
Conclusion: A Future-Proof E-commerce Solution

The integration was live in minutes, the checkout looks and feels like Viewbot.tv, the pricing is flat and predictable, and the full weight of global tax compliance sits with Fungies.io as the Merchant of Record.
