For a large software business wanting a European contracting party and a named account team, that is a serious offer. They are also unusually candid about their boundaries: their pricing page carries a supported-industries table listing SaaS, gaming and digital media on one side, and on the other, under limited or no support, high-risk categories, physical goods and early-stage micro-business. Their intake form asks your annual online revenue in bands starting at no revenue yet. We publish one rate, take anyone who can pass verification, and do not have a table of who is too small. Comparison of Fungies with Nexway. ![A Fungies hosted checkout page with localised pricing and payment methods.](/_astro/hosted-checkout.XNG99UB8_Z3e2IC.webp?dpl=dpl_8EZJmbvb3ugYq7WK1KgC21BX19Zp) Live in minutes, at any revenue. ## Fungies and Nexway, side by side Fungies Nexway 01 Merchant of Record ✓ Yes — we are the legal seller and we file. Yes. They state they take full operational and legal responsibility. 02 Headline rate ✓ 5% + 50¢ per sale, published. Negotiable at higher sales volume. Not published. A success-based revenue share, quoted per account. 03 Signing up ✓ Self-serve. A store can be live the same afternoon. Talk to Sales only. Their form asks company size and annual online revenue. 04 Early-stage businesses ✓ Same published rate and same product as everyone else. Early-stage micro-business is listed under limited or no support. 05 Tax coverage ✓ 150+ countries, all 27 EU member states. 140+ countries, 45+ currencies. Zero tax liability on your side. 06 Payment methods ✓ 250+. 90+. 07 Getting paid ✓ Daily by default, into your own connected account. Not published. Set in your agreement. 08 Chargebacks ✓ No per-dispute fee. Our dispute rate is 0.04%. No fee — they state chargeback costs and dispute management are fully absorbed. 09 Setup fees ✓ None. Most plans include zero setup fees, in their own wording. 10 Games ✓ Steam key delivery, web stores for mobile in-app purchases, in-game items and currency packs. Gaming is a supported industry. Enterprise-oriented, with a reseller portal. Nexway publishes no rate, payout terms or thresholds, so their column says Not published rather than carrying an estimate. One figure on their pricing page, a 1–3% saving, describes the cost of third-party billing tools you would otherwise use rather than any Nexway fee, and we have left it out to avoid the obvious misreading. Their $1M revenue floor applies to physical-product enquiries only, not to software. Nexway figures from [Nexway pricing and supported industries ↗](https://www.nexway.com/pricing/) [Nexway merchant of record ↗](https://www.nexway.com/merchant-of-record/) [Nexway sales intake ↗](https://www.nexway.com/talk-to-sales/) checked 2 August 2026. Their pricing can change. ## Why size should not decide who will sell for you 01 ### There is no revenue band to clear Nexway's intake form asks for your online annual revenue and offers bands from no revenue yet through to $20M+, and their supported-industries table places early-stage micro-business under limited or no support. That is honest of them, and it is also a door. Our sign-up asks for an email. A developer with no revenue and a studio doing eight figures get the same 5% + 50¢ and the same platform. 02 ### You start from a published number, not a proposal A success-based revenue share quoted per account means the starting point depends on how much leverage you brought to the call. Ours is published, available to anyone the day they sign up, and negotiable downwards once you are selling at volume. The difference is not that we never negotiate — it is that you can read the worst case before you talk to anyone. 03 ### You can be live before their first call Their process starts with a qualification conversation to see whether you are a match, in their own words. Ours starts with a store builder. Build the storefront, connect a product, publish on your own domain and take a real payment in about five minutes, then decide whether it works before anyone has to be convinced of anything. 04 ### Payout terms are published, not negotiated We pay daily by default into your connected account, with no minimum and no per-payout fee, switchable to weekly, monthly or manual whenever you like. Nexway publishes no payout frequency, threshold or delay, so cash-flow terms are part of the contract discussion rather than something you can compare in advance. 05 ### Self-serve tooling, not a services engagement Nexway's model is explicitly hands-on: dedicated account management, custom-built integrations, absorbed custom development, tailored platform work. That is valuable at enterprise scale and it is also a way of saying the platform expects a team around it. Ours is built to be operated by one person in a dashboard, with an API when you want it. The other side of the argument ## When Nexway is the better call No provider wins every case, and a comparison that pretends otherwise is not worth your time. Here is where Nexway is the better answer. ### You are an established enterprise with a named account team in mind Twenty-plus years as a merchant of record, Kaspersky, ESET, Opera and FNAC Darty as public references, and relationships they document running past a decade. Dedicated account management, in-house manual fraud review and support integrated with your teams rather than a helpdesk. If you want a partner rather than a product, that is what they sell. ### You need a European contracting party Nexway is a French SASU headquartered in Nîmes with EU VAT registration and offices in France, Italy, the United States and Japan. For a buyer whose legal team wants an EU-domiciled counterparty and EU data handling by default, that is a straightforward advantage. ### You sell through resellers and distributors They sell a dedicated reseller portal for managing B2B sales and distribution networks, with published case work behind it. Channel distribution at that depth is a real product and not something we offer. ### You need physical goods alongside digital Nexway supports physical product distribution, which is unusual for a merchant of record, though their sales page gates physical-product enquiries to companies with $1M or more in revenue. We are digital only, so if your catalogue mixes both, they can cover ground we cannot. ## What sellers say once they have switched [★★★★★ 4.8/5 from 10 reviews on G2 →](https://www.g2.com/products/fungies-io/reviews) [Vadim Finayev Head of Growth, Leadsin.io “We work with quite a few merchants of record, but none comes close to the support and speed of implementation of Fungies.

Their pricing page describes a success-based revenue share — their phrasing is that they earn only when you generate revenue — flexible across transaction volume, subscription revenue or a combination, and asks you to contact them for a custom quote. They do state that most plans include zero setup fees and that a dedicated support team is included without additional service fees.

We have no revenue threshold and no qualification call."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What does Nexway not support?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"They publish the list, which is refreshingly direct: high-risk industries including gambling and adult content, high chargeback risk categories, regulated or restricted products such as pharmaceuticals and firearms, medical, cryptocurrency, and physical goods beyond a limited distribution offer. Supported are SaaS, gaming, digital media and online education. Our restrictions are broadly comparable on the high-risk side, and we are digital only."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Who absorbs chargebacks?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Both of us, and this is one place where we are genuinely aligned. Nexway states that chargeback costs and dispute management are fully absorbed, and adds manual review by in-house specialists. We charge no per-dispute fee and answer disputes ourselves; our platform dispute rate is 0.04%, against the 0.7% at which card networks begin monitoring sellers.
