Selling FiveM scripts on Discord: checkout rules and delivery

How FiveM creators use Discord for product documentation and support

A buyer may ask about QBCore or ESX compatibility in Discord before purchasing. Keep technical documentation and support easy to find, while using the checkout channel required by the product's license and Cfx.re rules. Required Tebex payments must remain on Tebex.

Comparing Tebex and Generic Marketplaces vs. Direct PayPal Discord Stores

Compare the complete service: platform commission, processing, licensing integrations, and tax responsibilities. Cartcord provides direct PayPal checkout for eligible independently sellable products. Its flat subscription does not replace a mandatory Tebex transaction or Cfx.re Asset Escrow.

Separate required FiveM fulfillment from independently eligible product delivery

Keep FiveM payments and entitlements in the required provider workflow. Cartcord file, key and one-time role delivery applies only to products independently eligible for that checkout; it does not bridge a Tebex receipt to Cfx.re entitlements or install a resource on a game server.

Publishing ESX and QBCore Installation Guides with Cartcord Store Docs

Pro and Enterprise can publish docs for the install. That is the page buyers read instead of opening a ticket titled 'it doesn't start'. Cartcord does not install the resource for them.

What a FiveM order should contain

A FiveM listing should identify supported frameworks, dependencies, resource versions and the license the buyer receives. Required payments and entitlements stay with Tebex and the supported Cfx.re mechanisms. A Discord identity, file link or generic license key does not establish game ownership. Cartcord store docs can explain installation and support; they do not install the resource or import an authorized provider receipt.

Compare eligibility and service responsibilities before comparing fees. A mandatory game-platform checkout cannot be replaced simply because another tool advertises a lower commission. Include provider fees, taxes, licensing, support and refunds in the operating cost. Use calculators only with rates and obligations that actually apply to the permitted sales channel.

Keep support access separate from game entitlement

Document how a buyer contacts the seller, which purchase reference the required provider supplies, and how an installation failure is investigated. A support role should not be described as proof of a Cfx.re license. Do not collect server passwords, private account credentials or payment secrets in a public ticket. Ask for a redacted error and the relevant resource version.

Cartcord's general commerce delivery features apply to independently eligible products. They do not create a FiveM game-delivery connector, authorized account linking or Asset Escrow entitlement. The FiveM solution guide links the current official monetization documentation so the seller can check the required workflow before publishing.

The operating rules that do not change with the niche

For a FiveM script and MLO shop, the sale is finished only when PayPal has captured the payment and the delivery you configured has been sent. Cartcord takes 0% of that order. The monthly cost is the server plan, not a slice of revenue. PayPal still charges its processing fee, and that fee is between you and PayPal. Cartcord never holds a balance you later withdraw, so Cartcord does not impose a wallet payout schedule; PayPal can still apply fees, holds or account restrictions.

Keep the command list short when you announce a FiveM script and MLO shop. Members run /store to see the shop, /products to browse, and /buy to pay. They can also use the public store URL, which is the address a person outside the server, and a search engine, can open. Do not invent a cart command. Do not ask them to open a ticket to pay for something the bot can already deliver. Tickets stay for support and for the rare order you marked as manual.

Delivery for a FiveM script and MLO shop is one of five setups. A file uses an external URL or a Basic+ protected managed version. Managed uploads allow 25 MiB per file and 250 MiB reserved storage per store. A license key is one unused line from the pool, and a resend repeats that same line. A private URL is a link. A role is granted after capture. Optional timed passes require a live expiry service and are paid once, without recurring billing. A manual order stays pending and pings staff with the buyer details and the instructions you wrote. Publish guard is what stops the product going live while PayPal, the delivery, or the stock is missing.

Pick the plan from the order count, not from a feeling about the niche. Free covers 3 products and 3 orders a month. Basic is $29.99 for 25 products and 100 orders. Pro is $59.99 for 150 products and 1,000 orders, and it adds coupons, themes, store docs and scoped merchant API keys. Enterprise is $129.99 when you need unlimited volume, fraud guard, and signed webhooks. The example of 10% on $5,000 is a $500 scenario input, not a statement of any vendor's current rate. Pro is $59.99 and none of the $5,000. Use the fee calculator for your own sales number, and read pricing before you promise a buyer a feature that sits on a higher plan.

When a FiveM script and MLO shop is live, check three things after the first real payment. The PayPal capture should show on the order. The delivery status should show sent, or pending if the buyer's DMs were closed. The public store URL should be the same shop the commands show, so a member who shares the link is not sending people to an empty page. If a name looks like a test, a demo, or a sandbox, or the shop has no products, that storefront is noindex and stays out of the sitemap. A real shop with products can be indexed. From any of these guides you can open pricing, the fee calculator, and the solution pages linked under the article.

A clean launch for a FiveM script and MLO shop is a short announcement, not a new website. Name the server, list the three products with their prices and whether the buyer receives a file, a key, a link, or a role, and tell them the commands. The announcement generator on the tools page drafts that message. The fee calculator puts a percentage marketplace next to the flat plan so the owner can see the year, not just the first sale. Pricing is the page that states Free, Basic, Pro, and Enterprise without a sales adjective doing the work. Those three links are the next step after this article, and they are the same facts the rest of the site is willing to stand behind.

Buyer recovery, refunds and feature boundaries

Use Your purchases with the original Discord login to recover eligible content. A paid order can have failed, pending or held delivery. Fix the underlying issue and retry the existing order instead of charging again. Basic adds protected file versions, Pro adds API keys for product/order reads and non-key stock updates, and Enterprise adds risk review and signed webhooks.

The merchant issues refunds in PayPal. Verified completed partial refunds preserve access; cumulative full refunds close new delivery access and queue eligible saved role removals through the scheduled access service. New recovery/staff bot commands still have a separate rollout. Existing signed links and downloaded copies cannot be universally recalled. Signed license verification with device limits is available only after developer integration. Optional single-use downloads protect managed uploads, not external URLs. Timed passes require a ready expiry service and are blocked for new setup while it is unavailable. Pro+ creator referrals issue store coupon rewards after qualifying paid delivery; they do not create cash balances or automatic payouts. Basket checkout, component bundles, recurring buyer billing, seller Stripe/crypto checkout, game-server command delivery and automatic booking are not released.

Respect Cfx.re checkout rules and define the installation contract

Cfx.re's official documentation identifies Tebex as the exclusive monetization partner for FiveM servers. Cartcord's zero sales commission does not override that arrangement, an asset license, or Asset Escrow. Do not move a purchase that requires Tebex to an independent PayPal link. First establish which offering you are selling and whether independent checkout is permitted. Discord can still be the place where customers read installation documentation and contact support while a required purchase stays with the authorized payment channel.

For any independently sellable resource, write the compatibility notes before the launch announcement. Specify the supported framework, dependencies, tested server build, database changes, and installation order. Explain whether the buyer receives editable files and what the license allows. Keep an installation changelog so a customer upgrading an old purchase can find the correct instructions. Troubleshoot on a staging server and take a backup before changing a live database. Those details make a technical listing useful; a claim that every FiveM seller can avoid Tebex fees would hide the most consequential decision the creator needs to make.
