Vantic for Rust Console Edition
The 3% Rust Console Server Store
A Rust Console server store lets players buy roles, kits, items and perks with real money, and what sets one apart is the fee. Vantic runs checkout on your own Stripe at a flat 3%, roughly half the all-in cost of middleman platforms and the 5.5%-plus of the biggest bot, and the structure matters as much as the rate: your money never sits with a middleman waiting to be paid out. You can sell five kinds of product, in-game items, kits, pay-to-spawn, currency and Discord roles, each delivering itself the moment a payment clears, and delivery and chargeback protection make sure a refund or dispute does not leave you handing out goods for free.
Players pay you directly, on your own Stripe, at a flat 3%.
Why a flat 3% wins the maths
Rust Console stores all take a cut: middleman platforms charge around 8% all-in and the biggest bot charges 5.5% on top of card fees. Vantic charges a flat 3% - about half - and the structure is different too: checkout runs on YOUR Stripe account, so money goes from the player's card to your bank, with the 3% collected automatically at charge time.
No invoices, no holding your money, no payout schedules - your revenue settles with Stripe directly and only the fee comes to us. On a server doing a few hundred dollars a wipe, the saving versus a 5.5% or 8% platform pays real money back every single wipe.
Five kinds of products
Sell item bundles (delivered piece by piece to the buyer's inventory), full in-game kits, pay-to-spawn (a minicopter lands nine metres from the buyer, seconds after they are on the server), Discord roles like VIP that plug into everything else - triple daily spins, VIP lotto multipliers and TP-Home access - and token packs that top up a player's in-game currency, credited instantly (and held for buyers who have not linked yet).
Every server gets a branded public storefront page to share. Buyers sign in with Discord, must have their gamertag linked, and pay through Stripe's checkout - no card details ever touch Vantic.
Running a network? List a product once and choose whether a VIP or kit purchase covers only the server it is bought on, unlocks network-wide, or is sold on just the servers you pick. One store for the whole community, no duplicated products, and a purchase never leaks onto a server you did not intend.
Delivery and chargeback protection
In-game goods deliver the moment the buyer is actually on the server - buy from the couch, hop on, it is there. Every delivery is queued durably and deduplicated, so a crash or dropped connection can never double-deliver or lose a paid item.
SpendGuard watches for refunds and chargebacks: reversed payments revoke the order automatically, strip role products on the spot, and alert your admin log with the full story.
From an owner running it
Owners' own words, used with their permission. Each came through the dashboard or was said in the open in Discord, and is exactly as written.
“I seriously cannot recommend Vantic enough! I've been running my own Rust Console community server, and this bot has made managing everything SO much easier. Between the automation, ORP, economy, shop, Battle Pass, Discord integration, and everything else, Vantic has become a huge part of running my server. 10/10 recommend. Worth every penny!”See it running in minutes

Frequently asked questions
Do players have to run a claim command or ask staff for their purchase?
No. The moment a payment clears, Vantic delivers to the buyer's own account automatically - a Discord role is added instantly, tokens are credited instantly, and in-game items and kits are handed over the next time the buyer is on your server. There is no claim command and no staff opening tickets to hand out roles or tokens, so nobody wastes time and nothing gets missed.
How much does Vantic take from store sales?
A flat 3% of each sale, collected automatically at charge time - about half of what the big competitors charge on transactions, with no separate store subscription on top of that fee. (The store itself is unlocked by Premium, A$20 a month per server.) The rest settles directly into your own Stripe account, minus Stripe's standard card processing which every platform's sellers pay anyway.
Who is the seller of record?
You are. Sales run on your own Stripe account, so you are the merchant of record and buyer questions, refunds and disputes sit between you and your players. Vantic provides the storefront platform and in-game delivery only, and the store states that all sales are final on digital goods with instant access.
What happens to the 3% fee if I refund a buyer?
The platform fee applies to the original sale and is not returned - a refund you choose to give comes from your account in full. The storefront states all sales are final, so refunds are the exception, entirely at your discretion.
What can I legally sell on a Rust Console server?
Stick to kits, items, cosmetic perks, VIP and roles. Facepunch's monetization rules prohibit selling unfair advantage and DLC content, so the store's product types are built around safe categories - and Vantic automatically screens item listings against a maintained list of known DLC content and blocks the common ones before they go live, catching most mistakes that could risk a delist (kits and pay-to-spawn products are not scanned, so keep DLC out of those).
What happens on a chargeback?
SpendGuard revokes the order automatically, removes any role it granted, and alerts your admins - in-game items cannot be pulled back, so the alert tells you exactly who did it.
Do buyers need Discord?
Yes - they sign in with Discord and must have their gamertag linked in your community, which is how delivery knows exactly who to hand the goods to in game.
