Our story
We have been in your shoes.
The gaming space has always lacked strong, reliable monetization options. Before launching PayNow, our team spent years building, managing, and growing communities, especially within the Rust ecosystem. We worked alongside other server owners and helped run some of the most popular servers in the game.
We saw a clear gap in the market when it came to features, flexibility, and choice. Many existing solutions were outdated, running on old PHP systems that had not been properly updated in years, with payment methods hacked in over time. We faced these same issues ourselves, relying on open source platforms that struggled with things like tax handling and scalability.
We explored alternatives, but nothing offered the level of flexibility, modern infrastructure, and comprehensive API we were looking for. Even after years of using other platforms, it felt like there was little focus on innovation or responsiveness to the needs of server owners.
What we built
The platform we wished existed.
PayNow is built around the Merchant of Record model, which we believe is the best fit for gaming. It allows server owners to focus on growing their communities without worrying about sales tax, chargebacks, or payment processing.
As the Merchant of Record, we step in as the legal seller on every transaction. That means we take on full liability for taxes, chargebacks, and compliance across every country your buyers are in. You get paid, we handle the rest.
We support over 120 payment methods out of the box, including cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and crypto, so your players can always pay the way they prefer. No gateway accounts, no extra configuration.
As we continue to grow, we are expanding beyond payments into a broader SaaS platform. Our goal is to give server owners and digital businesses a single place to manage, scale, and optimize everything, not just payments.
