How to use new Store API methods

How it works

You can connect the Store API to implement the server part of your store, or switch to new Store API methods if you have already implemented server integration (integration with token) with Xsolla.

Main features:

Authorization via Xsolla Login or Pay Station Access Token
Virtual items management
User inventory management
Cart and order management

Who can use it

Partners who develop a store interface and want to use a third-party solution to implement the server side.
Partners who have already implemented server integration with Xsolla and want to connect Store with new Store API methods.

How to get it

To connect the Store API to your app:

Set up the Virtual Items module in your Publisher Account.
Set up authentication.
Implement methods for store management.

For integration you will need the Project ID shown in Project settings > Webhooks. The Project ID is used in Store API requests.

Setting up the Virtual Items module in Publisher Account

Go to Projects and click on the Create project button.
Add Project name and click Create.

Go to Project settings > Integration settings and check that Integrate Commerce API toggle is set to ON.
Connect Store to your project.
Connect the Virtual Items module.

Create a group of items.

Create items.

Turn on the group display in Store after the items were created.

Authentication setup

The following user authentication options are available:

Via Xsolla Login. Choose this option if you have not implemented server integration with Xsolla.
Via Pay Station Access Token. Choose this option if you have implemented server integration with Xsolla.

Authentication via Xsolla Login

Set up a Publisher Account project following the instructions.
Implement the call of the authorization methods with the help of the JSON Web Token or OAuth 2.0 protocol.

If the user data is kept in the Xsolla data storage, implement the call of the following methods:

Register (JWT or OAuth 2.0)
Authentication (any of the following):
- by username and password (JWT or OAuth 2.0)
- via a social network (JWT or OAuth 2.0)
Reset password

If the user data is kept in the PlayFab data storage, use the PlayFab recipe.

If the user data is kept on your side, use the Custom storage recipe.

Authentication via Pay Station access token

Authentication flow:

Your application (client) sends the authentication request to your server.
Your server sends the Merchant ID and API key to the Xsolla server and requests access_token.
Xsolla server sends access_token to your server.
Your server sends access_token to your client.

The returned access_token is used as an authorization token for authentication in the Store API and building a store interface.

Store management methods

Store management methods include the following groups of methods:

Virtual item management:
- Get virtual items list
- Get item groups list
Cart and order management:
User inventory management:
- Get user’s inventory

Get virtual items list

Implement the Get virtual items list API method to show the full list of virtual items added to your store.

Example

var data = null;

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
  if (this.readyState === this.DONE) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("GET", "https://store.xsolla.com/api/v2/project/44056/items/virtual_items?locale=en");

xhr.send(data);

//RESPONSE

"items": [
    {
      "attributes": [],
      "description": "Conquer your foes with vindication using the Basic Blaster! ",
      "groups": [
        "all",
        "featured",
        "Xsolla",
        "weapons"
      ],
      "image_url": "https://cdn.xsolla.net/img/misc/images/0c59a7698d4f66c1008b27ee752089b7.png",
      "is_free": false,
      "name": "Xsolla Basic Blaster 1",
      "order": 1,
      "price": {
        "amount": "0.9950000000000000",
        "amount_without_discount": "1.9900000000000000",
        "currency": "USD"
      },
      "sku": "gun_1",
      "type": "virtual_good"

Get item groups list

Implement the Get item groups list API method to show the full list of virtual items groups added to your store.
For each value of the sku parameter returned in the Get virtual items list method, specify the external_id of the group to which it belongs. Match sku and external_id in the same way as the items are grouped in Publisher Account.

Example

var data = null;

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
  if (this.readyState === this.DONE) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("GET", "https://store.xsolla.com/api/v2/project/44056/items/groups");

xhr.send(data);

//RESPONSE

  "groups": [
    {
      "children": [],
      "description": "all",
      "external_id": "all",
      "id": 10,
      "image_url": "http://none",
      "level": 0,
      "name": "all",
      "order": null,
      "parent_external_id": null
    }

Get cart

Implement the Get cart by ID or Get current user’s cart API method for purchasing virtual items. Cart ID will be used to add/remove items.

Example

var data = null;

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
  if (this.readyState === this.DONE) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("GET", "https://store.xsolla.com/api/v2/project/44056/cart/custom_id?locale=en&currency=USD");
xhr.setRequestHeader("authorization", "Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE5NjIyMzQwNDgsImlzcyI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbG9naW4ueHNvbGxhLmNvbSIsImlhdCI6MTU2MjE0NzY0OCwidXNlcm5hbWUiOiJ4c29sbGEiLCJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW5fYWNjZXNzX2tleSI6IjA2SWF2ZHpDeEVHbm5aMTlpLUc5TmMxVWFfTWFZOXhTR3ZEVEY4OFE3RnMiLCJzdWIiOiJkMzQyZGFkMi05ZDU5LTExZTktYTM4NC00MjAxMGFhODAwM2YiLCJlbWFpbCI6InN1cHBvcnRAeHNvbGxhLmNvbSIsInR5cGUiOiJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW4iLCJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW5fcHJvamVjdF9pZCI6ImU2ZGZhYWM2LTc4YTgtMTFlOS05MjQ0LTQyMDEwYWE4MDAwNCIsInB1Ymxpc2hlcl9pZCI6MTU5MjR9.GCrW42OguZbLZTaoixCZgAeNLGH2xCeJHxl8u8Xn2aI");

xhr.send(data);

//RESPONSE

{
  "cart_id": "custom_id",
  "is_free": true,
  "items": [],
  "price": null
}

Note:

To enable the quick items purchase (without creating a cart), use the Create order with specified item API method.

Create order with all items

Implement one of the API methods:
1. Create order with all items from particular cart if you got the cart by ID.
2. Create order with all items from current cart if you got the current cart.

The created order will receive a New order status.

To open the payment UI in a new window, use the following link: https://secure.xsolla.com/paystation3/?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN, where ACCESS_TOKEN is the token received when the order was created.
To test the payment process:
1. Use the following URL: https://sandbox-secure.xsolla.com/paystation3/?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN.
2. Set the sandbox parameter to true in the request.
3. Use the list of bank cards for testing.

Example

var data = JSON.stringify({
  "currency": "USD",
  "locale": "en",
  "sandbox": false
});

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
  if (this.readyState === this.DONE) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("POST", "https://store.xsolla.com/api/v2/project/44056/payment/cart/custom_id");
xhr.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/json");
xhr.setRequestHeader("authorization", "Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE5NjIyMzQwNDgsImlzcyI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbG9naW4ueHNvbGxhLmNvbSIsImlhdCI6MTU2MjE0NzY0OCwidXNlcm5hbWUiOiJ4c29sbGEiLCJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW5fYWNjZXNzX2tleSI6IjA2SWF2ZHpDeEVHbm5aMTlpLUc5TmMxVWFfTWFZOXhTR3ZEVEY4OFE3RnMiLCJzdWIiOiJkMzQyZGFkMi05ZDU5LTExZTktYTM4NC00MjAxMGFhODAwM2YiLCJlbWFpbCI6InN1cHBvcnRAeHNvbGxhLmNvbSIsInR5cGUiOiJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW4iLCJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW5fcHJvamVjdF9pZCI6ImU2ZGZhYWM2LTc4YTgtMTFlOS05MjQ0LTQyMDEwYWE4MDAwNCIsInB1Ymxpc2hlcl9pZCI6MTU5MjR9.GCrW42OguZbLZTaoixCZgAeNLGH2xCeJHxl8u8Xn2aI");

xhr.send(data);

//RESPONSE  

{
  "order_id": 641,
  "token": "f4puMEFFDZcx9nv5HoNHIkPe9qghvBQo"
}

Get order

Implement the Get order API method to determine if the purchase has already been processed. The following order statuses are possible:

New — order is created but not paid
Paid — order is paid
Cancelled — order is cancelled
Done — order is paid and the item is added to the inventory

Note:

The status check should be carried out with a certain frequency, since a one-time check can occur earlier than the order is given the new status.

Example

var data = null;

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
  if (this.readyState === this.DONE) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("GET", "https://store.xsolla.com/api/v2/project/44056/order/656");
xhr.setRequestHeader("authorization", "Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE5NjIyMzQwNDgsImlzcyI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbG9naW4ueHNvbGxhLmNvbSIsImlhdCI6MTU2MjE0NzY0OCwidXNlcm5hbWUiOiJ4c29sbGEiLCJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW5fYWNjZXNzX2tleSI6IjA2SWF2ZHpDeEVHbm5aMTlpLUc5TmMxVWFfTWFZOXhTR3ZEVEY4OFE3RnMiLCJzdWIiOiJkMzQyZGFkMi05ZDU5LTExZTktYTM4NC00MjAxMGFhODAwM2YiLCJlbWFpbCI6InN1cHBvcnRAeHNvbGxhLmNvbSIsInR5cGUiOiJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW4iLCJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW5fcHJvamVjdF9pZCI6ImU2ZGZhYWM2LTc4YTgtMTFlOS05MjQ0LTQyMDEwYWE4MDAwNCIsInB1Ymxpc2hlcl9pZCI6MTU5MjR9.GCrW42OguZbLZTaoixCZgAeNLGH2xCeJHxl8u8Xn2aI");

    "is_free": false,
    "items": [
      {
        "is_free": false,

      "currency": "USD"
    }
  },
  "order_id": 656,
  "status": "new"
}

Get user’s inventory

Implement the Get user’s inventory API method to get a list of items added to the inventory after the purchase.

Example

var data = null;

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
  if (this.readyState === this.DONE) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("GET", "https://store.xsolla.com/api/v2/project/44056/user/inventory/items");
xhr.setRequestHeader("authorization", "Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE5NjIyMzQwNDgsImlzcyI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbG9naW4ueHNvbGxhLmNvbSIsImlhdCI6MTU2MjE0NzY0OCwidXNlcm5hbWUiOiJ4c29sbGEiLCJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW5fYWNjZXNzX2tleSI6IjA2SWF2ZHpDeEVHbm5aMTlpLUc5TmMxVWFfTWFZOXhTR3ZEVEY4OFE3RnMiLCJzdWIiOiJkMzQyZGFkMi05ZDU5LTExZTktYTM4NC00MjAxMGFhODAwM2YiLCJlbWFpbCI6InN1cHBvcnRAeHNvbGxhLmNvbSIsInR5cGUiOiJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW4iLCJ4c29sbGFfbG9naW5fcHJvamVjdF9pZCI6ImU2ZGZhYWM2LTc4YTgtMTFlOS05MjQ0LTQyMDEwYWE4MDAwNCIsInB1Ymxpc2hlcl9pZCI6MTU5MjR9.GCrW42OguZbLZTaoixCZgAeNLGH2xCeJHxl8u8Xn2aI");
