Build them in the dashboard without writing billing logic, or create them over the API if you would rather keep everything in code. 002 Compliance Tax compliance from day one As your Merchant of Record we are the legal seller on every transaction. Merchant fees, fraud prevention, chargebacks, disputes, VAT, GST, and US sales tax are ours to handle, calculate, remit, and file. 003 Payments International payments, handled Cards, wallets, bank redirects, SEPA, PayPal, and local methods are surfaced by the customer's country and currency. You sell in your currency; they pay in a way that feels normal to them. 004 Storefront Your storefront, checkout, and portal Choose hosted, overlay, or embedded checkout and style it to match your product. Customers manage their own upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations in a branded portal you did not have to build. ![The subscriptions screen listing recurring plans and their billing intervals.](/_astro/subscriptions.CS4yi8pK_1kMw30.webp?dpl=dpl_8EZJmbvb3ugYq7WK1KgC21BX19Zp) Plans, intervals, and trials, without writing billing logic. ![The branded customer portal where subscribers manage their own plan.](/_astro/customer-portal.BVvv6OPh_Z1iIoXb.webp?dpl=dpl_8EZJmbvb3ugYq7WK1KgC21BX19Zp) Customers handle their own upgrades and cancellations in your branding. ## What setup actually looks like 1. 01 ### Create your plans Add products and pricing in the dashboard, or over the API. Templates cover the usual monthly and annual shapes. 2. 02 ### Connect payouts Onboard your own payout account through the dashboard's Payouts section. This is where your money lands. 3. 03 ### Drop in the checkout Embed the overlay, link to hosted checkout, or call the API. Point a webhook at your backend to grant access. 4. 04 ### Get paid Payouts run daily by default into your own payout account. Tax is collected, filed, and reported by us. Walkthrough · 4 minutes ## How your plans get modelled The first step above is the one worth watching rather than reading. A subscription is a product, each plan and billing interval is a variant of it, and the price sits on the variant — which is how tiers, monthly-versus-annual, and mid-cycle changes all stay in one place. How to sell subscriptions for your SaaS or software — 4 min Merchant of Record ## You could do all of this yourself Selling digital goods across borders means registering for tax in each market, wiring up a tax engine, and answering for every dispute. As your Merchant of Record, that is our name on the paperwork instead of yours. What it takes Fungies Processor only 01 Tax registration ✓ None needed — we are already registered. You register for VAT and sales tax per market. 02 Tax calculation ✓ Real-time rates on every transaction. You wire up a tax engine and maintain it. 03 Remittance ✓ We file and pay the authorities directly. You file monthly, quarterly, and annually. 04 Audits ✓ We answer the tax authority. You keep the records and take the questions. 05 Chargebacks ✓ Disputes and fraud handled for you. Your team fights each case. 06 Pricing ✓ One commission, only when you sell. Processor fee plus tax software plus consultants. 07 Accounting ✓ You receive net revenue. Gross receipts plus a tax liability to track. ## Built for the parts of billing nobody enjoys Proration that works Partial periods are genuinely hard to get right. Customers move between plans mid-cycle and the maths is handled for you. Usage-based metered billing Charge on consumption from your first day without writing metering and invoicing logic into your own application. API and webhooks A REST API covering products, offers, orders, subscriptions, and users, with webhooks for every payment and subscription event. Payment recovery Automated dunning chases failed charges so a declined card does not quietly become a cancelled customer. Customer portal Subscription changes, order history, invoices, and downloads in a self-serve portal carrying your branding. Sandbox and test payments A full sandbox mode to run the whole flow end to end before a single real card is charged. Pricing 5% + 50¢ per sale, and nothing else Negotiable at higher sales volume.
