Turn over all of the tedious billing tasks such as keeping track of ever-changing VAT, sales tax, and compliance laws. An MoR calculates, collects, and remits compliance taxes on your behalf, maintains global compliance, manages chargebacks, and more. Reduce operations costs and risk at the same time.

We’re already set up to sell in over 200 regions around the world, so when you use our platform, you’re automatically ready to sell wherever your customers are. We support over 20 currencies and languages and dozens of payment methods, making it easy to localize payments and increase conversions across the world.

How It Works

A Merchant of Record is an entity that sells digital goods or services to a customer and is the responsible party for the transaction.

As your MoR, we’ll sell the digital products on your behalf. Your customers still visit your website to buy software, video games, or mobile apps, or to update subscriptions — but when they’re ready to check out, they’ll make the purchase from us.

So whenever you make a sale, we’re essentially buying your product from you, then reselling it to your customer. We become the responsible party for any transaction. But you still have access to any data and analytics from your customers and sales. Plus, you own the data and can easily migrate it in and out of our platform.

And with features like Store Builder Library (our custom JavaScript library) and our Sessions API, your brand remains front and center throughout the sales process.
