As your Merchant of Record, 2Checkout is the legal seller on every transaction, handling global payments, tax, and fraud protection, so a new title launch or a new region doesn't mean rebuilding your compliance stack from scratch.

- No local entities required: Sell in new markets without setting up local registrations or legal entities
- Zero liability on your books: Regulatory exposure, filing obligations, and financial risk sit with us, not your books

FAQ
Payments questions, answered for gaming
What is a Merchant of Record, and why do gaming companies use one?
A Merchant of Record (MoR) is the legal seller on every transaction. For a game publisher, that means no local tax registrations as you expand into new markets, no personal liability exposure across jurisdictions, and no internal compliance team to build. 2Checkout, as your MoR, handles payments, tax, fraud, and compliance behind the scenes, so you can launch in a new market as fast as you launch a new title.
What gaming products and business models can I sell with 2Checkout?
2Checkout supports mainstream digital gaming products: premium game downloads, DLC and expansion packs, virtual currency, subscriptions, and battle or season passes, for legitimate game studios and publishers. 2Checkout does not support gambling, casino, or real-money-wagering products; if you're unsure whether your business fits our supported risk profile, our team can confirm before you apply.
How does 2Checkout help game studios sell directly to players (D2C)?
2Checkout gives publishers a direct line to players: sell games, in-game currency, and add-ons from your own store, in addition to your platform storefronts. Instead of giving up roughly 30% to Steam, Apple AppStore, or Google PlayStore, you keep extra margin for all your customers going through your own D2C store while 2Checkout handles checkout, billing, and compliance behind the scenes.
Which platforms can I sell on with 2Checkout?
2Checkout supports mobile and PC commerce, including web shops sold direct and outside app store splits. If you are evaluating additional platforms, our team can walk through current coverage for your specific title.
Does 2Checkout support subscriptions, memberships, and battle passes?
Yes. A built-in subscription and recurring billing engine handles memberships, season passes, and battle passes, with auto-renewal, flexible plans, and smart dunning that automatically recovers failed payments.
What happens when a player's subscription payment fails?
2Checkout automatically retries failed payments, updates expired card details where possible, and notifies the player, recovering revenue that would otherwise be lost to involuntary churn. This runs automatically as part of subscription billing, with no manual follow-up required from your team.
How does 2Checkout reduce fraud and chargebacks for gaming companies?
2Checkout's fraud protection is built into the core platform, not billed as a separate add-on, and tuned by our risk team for digital goods and gaming. It's optimized to approve legitimate players, not just to minimize the fraud rate, and 2Checkout manages disputes and chargebacks on your behalf.
Which payment methods and countries does 2Checkout support?
2Checkout accepts 45+ local payment methods across 190+ countries and settles in 100+ currencies, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and regional wallets, shown automatically based on the player's market and device.
What's the difference between a payment gateway and a Merchant of Record for gaming companies?
A payment gateway processes transactions, but your studio remains the legal seller and stays responsible for tax registrations, compliance, and liability in every market. A Merchant of Record like 2Checkout takes on that legal seller role directly, handling global tax, fraud, and compliance so your team doesn't have to build that infrastructure in-house.
