Merchant of record

A company that becomes the official seller of your product, handles sales taxes, and takes a cut of every sale.

A merchant of record is a company that becomes the official seller of your product on paper. The buyer is really paying that company, and the company then pays you. In return, it takes care of sales taxes around the world and a lot of legal paperwork, which is a genuine relief if you sell into many countries.

The trade is control and money. Because the merchant of record is the legal seller, it owns the customer relationship, decides what you are allowed to sell, and can stop selling for you. It also takes a percentage of every sale, on top of the normal payment fees, for as long as you use it.

Coin Moebius is not a merchant of record. The money flows straight into your own payment accounts, in your name. We never become the seller, never hold your money, and never take a percentage of your sales. The tax paperwork stays yours to handle, and so does everything else.
