Offline as of 18 September 2026

Billgang alternative (2026)

Billgang is offline. billgang.com has been unreachable since on or about 3 August 2026 and, as of 18 September 2026, displays an FBI seizure banner; as of 18 September 2026 we found no DOJ or FBI announcement naming Billgang.

Shoplio is a live alternative for selling keys, accounts and files: a free plan, crypto checkout through Cryptomus or OxaPay, and automatic withdrawals to a wallet you control. Nothing can be pulled from Billgang any more, so the move is a rebuild; start free and the migration page explains what can be carried over.

Status

Offline since on or about 3 August 2026. On 18 September 2026, billgang.com, docs.billgang.com, support.billgang.com and api.billgang.com all served a page titled "Seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation". Registry delegation is still the operator's Cloudflare nameservers; whois updated 5 September 2026; as of 18 September 2026 we found no DOJ or FBI release naming Billgang.

What happened to Billgang

On 2 August 2026 a thread opened on BlackHatWorld reporting that Billgang, Antistock, Sellpass, Forebit and Hoodpay had become unreachable, and that by 3 August their domains answered with fbi.seized.gov nameservers. The posters describe the five as one connected operation, which the operators had reportedly denied, and report five- and six-figure balances they could no longer access.

Sellup, a competing platform, put Billgang's merchant count at roughly 7,500 businesses in its 3 August 2026 coverage; that figure has a single competitor source. Billgang's Trustpilot profile has since been removed by Trustpilot as against its guidelines. Posters on BlackHatWorld describe crypto balances held in Billgang platform wallets being "compacted" into v2 wallets for which merchants held no keys.

Whether any law-enforcement action took place has not been established. On 18 September 2026 the registries still delegated all five domains to the operators' own Cloudflare nameservers, and the whois records had been updated after the outage. We found no Department of Justice or FBI release naming any of the five as of 18 September 2026. The banner is what the domains display, not a confirmed seizure. Posters on BlackHatWorld read the sequence as an exit scam; that is their interpretation, reported as theirs.

The full timeline, and what is and is not established about the five platforms, is in the August 2026 guide.

Billgang vs Shoplio

Billgang was a storefront platform. Its column is last-known information; Shoplio's column describes what the platform does today.

How your money is protected on Shoplio

Each point below describes something the platform does, including the one you may not want to hear.

Where your balance sits, stated plainly

Shoplio is not non-custodial. A paid order credits a balance held in the platform's gateway wallets (Cryptomus and OxaPay) until you withdraw it, computed per currency and gateway as paid orders minus withdrawals. The rest of this list is about keeping that window short.

Automatic withdrawal above a threshold

Set a USD threshold ($10 to $1,000,000) and a wallet address per currency; a poller sweeps anything above it to your wallet, with per-network minimums of $10 for BTC and $20 for ETH and ERC-20 tokens. Manual minimum $1. GRAM is manual only.

Two crypto gateways, one per shop

Cryptomus and OxaPay are both supported, each with signed webhooks and a payment poller that catches any confirmation a webhook missed. A shop uses one gateway at a time: if it is down, the owner switches the shop to the other in Settings > Store Configuration. Checkout is not switched automatically.

Owner-only money movement by default

Only the owner can withdraw. Where team withdrawal access is enabled on the platform, a team admin gets it only through a grant the owner confirms with password and email 2FA code, after a cool-off delay, revocable at any time; every co-owner withdrawal is reported to the owner (in-app, email, Telegram) and audited. Payout wallets, API keys, shop deletion and stock clearing stay owner-only.

Email 2FA where it matters, and an honest limit

Email-code 2FA covers login, turning 2FA on or off, and granting team withdrawal access. There is no separate 2FA challenge on each withdrawal.

Admin impersonation cannot move your money

Withdrawals cannot be created, and auto-withdrawal settings cannot be changed, from an admin impersonation session — the platform's support tooling is locked out of the money paths.

Fees you can see before you withdraw

5% on Free, 3% on Pro and Enterprise, charged at withdrawal; there is no platform fee per order. Orders are credited at the amount the gateway actually delivers, net of the gateway's own commission, on both Cryptomus and OxaPay (for OxaPay, about 1.5% on orders created after 2 July 2026).

Moving from Billgang

Shoplio's importer reads the Sellpass and Antistock APIs. Both hosts now serve the banner, so an API import is not possible today, and there is no importer for Billgang, Sellix, Hoodpay or Forebit. A move means a free account and a rebuilt catalogue; the migration page lists what can be carried over and how to reach us.

Frequently asked questions

Is Billgang down?

Yes. Billgang has been unreachable since on or about 3 August 2026. On 18 September 2026 its main site, docs, support and API hosts all displayed an FBI seizure banner.

Was Billgang seized by the FBI?

Not established. The domain displays an FBI banner, but the registry still delegates billgang.com to the operator's own nameservers, the whois record was updated after the outage, and as of 18 September 2026 we found no DOJ or FBI announcement naming Billgang.

What happened to money held on Billgang?

We do not know, and nobody has published an answer. Posters on BlackHatWorld report balances that had been moved into v2 platform wallets, for which they held no keys, and that became inaccessible with the outage. Those are their accounts, not ours.

Can I import my Billgang store into Shoplio?

Not automatically. Shoplio has no Billgang importer, and Billgang's API host serves the banner, so there is nothing to pull from. You can create a free Shoplio account and rebuild the catalogue; the migration page covers what can be carried over.

What does Shoplio charge compared with Billgang?

Shoplio: Free $0, Pro $19 per month, Enterprise $69 per month. There is no platform fee per order, but orders are credited net of the gateway's own commission (about 1.5% on OxaPay), and a withdrawal fee of 5% (Free) or 3% (Pro and Enterprise) applies when you withdraw. Billgang's last known free-tier rate was 2.9% + $0.07 per transaction.
