FazerCards and Kodrio: how we differ
Both platforms sell resellers the same thing — codes, gift cards and top-ups. The difference is not in the catalogue but in what the supplier earns on and what happens when an order fails. Below — axis by axis, without ratings; where there is no difference, we say so.
What the supplier earns on
At FazerCards, access to wholesale terms is paid: it is a subscription, and the plans differ from each other by the size of the wholesale discount, not by the set of features — the catalogue, API and webhooks are available on all of them. With this model the price of the card itself stays close to face value: it is not a source of income but a showcase for the subscription.
Kodrio has no subscription. We earn on the difference between the purchase price and our price, and that difference is already included in the item's price: no separate fee for connecting, for API access or for integrations appears with us.
The practical meaning of the difference: with a subscription model your economics depend on volume — at a low turnover the fixed payment eats up the discount, at a high one it pays off. With a margin model the payment is always proportional to the purchase. Checked on 21 Jul 2026 against their public pages; the terms may have changed — check the current ones with them.
How to pay
FazerCards accepts on-chain cryptocurrency payment — fast and borderless, but such a payment comes with no accounting documents.
At launch Kodrio accepts payment the same way — by crypto transfer. There is NO difference on this axis today, and writing otherwise would be a convenient untruth: we start with the same settlement method. Invoiced work with a contract and accounting documents is in our plan as a separate step, and when it opens we will announce it right here. If you need accounting documents from the first shipment, this is exactly the question worth asking both sides in advance.
Which platform suits whom
FazerCards — if
You pay in crypto, you need a broad international catalogue right now, you do not need accounting documents, and your volume is large enough for the subscription to pay for itself through the discount.
Kodrio — if
You do not need a subscription fee for access to wholesale terms, you want to see price and stock by request, and from the supplier — predictable behaviour on failure: refusal before the charge, a refund as a line in the log, a retry without a second charge.
Both — if
You keep two supply lines. This is normal practice: in digital goods stock runs out for everyone, and a single supplier means your orders go down together with it.
What we advise checking with any supplier, including us
What is behind the stock
Order an item listed in the catalogue with hundreds in stock and see whether the code arrives immediately. A round stock figure across all denominations of one brand usually means “we will source it to order”, not a warehouse.
What happens on failure
Ask in advance what happens if delivery fails: refusal before the charge and a refund as a line in the log — or correspondence with a manager. Finding this out on the first failed order is expensive.
Does an order survive a dropped connection
Repeat the request with the same idempotency key and see whether the money is charged twice. It is a one-minute check and the most common cause of losses in integration.
Frequently asked
How does Kodrio differ from FazerCards in one sentence?
In the earning model: they have paid access to wholesale terms, we have no access fee — we earn on the difference between the purchase price and our price. In the settlement method there is no difference at launch: crypto transfer on both sides.
Are you cheaper?
That is not how the question works: with a subscription model the item price cannot be compared directly — you need to add the subscription payment and divide by your turnover. At a low turnover the model without a subscription is more advantageous, at a high one everything is decided by the size of the discount. Calculate on your own volume, not by the price of a single card.
Can I work with both at once?
Yes, and we consider it sensible. Stock of digital goods runs out at every supplier, and a second supply line is not distrust but normal insurance for your orders.
Will you help move work over from another platform?
In our case there is nothing to move: we do not store your catalogue or your orders — you take items, prices and codes from us via the API and keep them on your side. Connecting comes down to getting a key and setting up your side according to the documentation.
