Which one fits you
-
You never want to think about tax
Tebex or PayNow. They sell on your behalf and take sales tax and chargebacks off your hands. You pay for that in the fee and the payment costs.
-
You sell a lot and want no cut
CraftingStore. No percentage per sale, a monthly plan instead, and your own payment account.
-
You want everything included, on your own account
Minecraftstore.io. Discord roles, timed ranks, upgrades, an in-game /buy menu and your own domain, with no plan and no sales limit, paid out to your own Stripe account.
Questions
Which Minecraft server store is the cheapest?
Per sale, CraftingStore, because it takes no cut and earns from monthly plans instead, from €8.99 a month for HTTPS on your own domain and subscriptions. With a European card, PayNow and Minecraftstore.io cost about the same per sale, and Tebex a little more. With iDEAL, Minecraftstore.io is the cheapest of the three that charge a fee.
Which ones handle sales tax for me?
Tebex and PayNow, as merchant of record: they sell to the player on your behalf. With CraftingStore and Minecraftstore.io the money goes to your own payment account, so the sale and the tax are yours.
Why compare the total and not the fee?
Because the payment costs differ as much as the fees. A store with a lower fee and a higher card rate can cost the same per sale as one with a higher fee.
