Noxyr is free with no per-sale fee but does not process payments itself; Tebex and Sellix-style hosted checkout platforms do process real card and crypto payments, but take a percentage of every sale for it. These aren't really competing on the same feature, they're two different answers to "how do I sell on Discord": free tools around a payment method you already have, or a paid checkout that handles the payment for you. Here's how they actually compare.
What each one actually is
- Noxyr is a free Discord bot with a product catalog, cart, checkout tickets, branded invoices, vouchers and reviews, all managed from a web dashboard. It has no built-in payment gateway — the buyer pays you directly through PayPal, UPI, crypto or another method, and Noxyr generates the record of that sale.
- Tebex is an e-commerce platform built specifically for game servers, with a hosted checkout page and a Discord bot that assigns roles automatically on purchase. It charges a percentage of what you earn through the platform (5% on standard use, per Tebex's own published fee), plus VAT where applicable, in exchange for actually processing the payment for you.
- Sellix and similar hosted-checkout marketplaces (SellAuth and others in the same category) work on the same principle: a hosted checkout page, a Discord bot integration, and a percentage fee per sale — commonly a higher rate on a free tier and a lower rate on paid monthly plans. Availability and terms for any specific platform in this category can change, so check current pricing directly before committing.
The real difference: who touches the money
This is the one thing to understand before comparing feature lists. With Tebex or a Sellix-style checkout, the buyer pays a card or wallet directly into the platform's payment processing, and it lands in your connected account minus their fee — you never manually confirm a payment. With Noxyr, the buyer pays you directly on your own PayPal, UPI, crypto wallet or similar, and staff confirm it manually before marking the invoice paid. That manual step is the trade-off for paying nothing per sale: Noxyr can't lose you money to a fee it never sees, but it also can't stop a fake payment screenshot the way real payment processing does.
Fees, side by side
- Noxyr: free, no per-sale fee, no paid tier at all.
- Tebex: around 5% of earnings through the platform, plus VAT at checkout depending on your region.
- Sellix-style platforms: historically a free plan around 5% transaction fee, with paid monthly plans (roughly €25-200/month) reducing that to somewhere around 1-3% — check the specific platform's current published pricing, since fee structures on these services change.
- For scale, a general ecommerce platform like Shopify (not Discord-specific at all) runs roughly $25-40+/month plus card processing around 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction, and needs a separate app or integration to talk to Discord at all.
On a $1,000/month shop, a 5% fee is $50 you don't pay with Noxyr — but you also don't get automatic card processing, fraud screening, or a hosted checkout link to hand a buyer who doesn't want to use PayPal or UPI.
Where Tebex and Sellix-style platforms win
- Real payment processing. Cards, and often more payment methods than a typical Discord seller accepts manually, handled without you logging into anything to verify.
- A hosted checkout link. Something you can drop outside Discord too — on a website, a forum post — not just inside a server.
- Built for game servers specifically (Tebex). Automatic in-game delivery integrations for popular game server platforms go beyond what a general Discord role-based catalog does.
- Less manual verification. No staff member checking a PayPal balance before delivering.
Where Noxyr wins
- No fee, ever. Every dollar the buyer sends goes to you; the only cost is your own time running the store.
- Everything else a shop needs is included too. The same free dashboard also runs tickets, security, verification, giveaways and more — you're not paying separately for a Discord bot on top of a checkout platform.
- Full control of payment methods. Accept whatever your actual buyers already use (UPI in India, PayPal elsewhere, crypto for privacy-minded buyers) without a platform limiting which processors are supported in your country.
- The whole flow stays inside Discord. Catalog, cart, order ticket, invoice and review all happen in the server your community already lives in — no separate account for buyers to create on another site.
Which one actually fits your shop
- Pick Tebex if you run a game server (Minecraft, FiveM, Rust) and want automatic in-game delivery plus card payments handled for you, and 5% of revenue is an acceptable cost for that.
- Pick a Sellix-style hosted checkout if you sell digital goods to buyers who expect a card-payment checkout page and you want to avoid manually verifying every payment, and you've checked the current fee structure works for your margins.
- Pick Noxyr if your buyers already pay through PayPal, UPI, crypto or similar without friction, you want the catalog, cart, invoices, vouchers and reviews without paying a percentage of every sale, and you're comfortable verifying payments yourself before delivering (see selling digital products safely for how to do that without getting scammed).
Plenty of sellers actually outgrow one and move to the other — starting on Noxyr's free tools while volume is low, then adding a hosted checkout once the fee is worth it for the reduced manual work. The two aren't mutually exclusive; some shops run both, quoting Noxyr's manual-payment flow for buyers who prefer it and a hosted link for buyers who don't.
Common questions
Can I use Noxyr and Tebex together? There's no built-in integration between them, but nothing stops you running Noxyr for tickets, security and community features while linking a separate Tebex store for card checkout — they don't conflict, they just don't share data.
Does Noxyr plan to add its own payment processing? Not as of this writing; it's built around free tools that work with payment methods you already control rather than becoming a payment processor itself.
Is a 5% fee worth it? Depends on your volume and how much manual verification time it saves you. At low volume, manually checking a PayPal balance costs a few minutes; at high volume, that time adds up and a fee for automation can pay for itself.
Do Tebex or Sellix-style platforms include a ticket system, security or giveaways? No, those are checkout-focused platforms. A Discord bot like Noxyr covers the rest of the server; you'd need a separate bot for tickets and moderation if you go checkout-only.
Which one is easier to set up? Noxyr's catalog and checkout can be running in a few minutes with /quickcreate catalog; a hosted checkout platform typically needs an account, a payment gateway connection, and a webhook or bot install before it's live.
