Regional sales restrictions

How it works

When you set up regional items restrictions, Xsolla detects the user’s country and displays items available in that country.

The user’s country is passed in the country parameter when requesting a catalog (Get virtual items list API call). If the country is not explicitly specified, it is determined based on the user’s IP address. Prices are then selected for the item catalog based on the user’s country.

Who can use it

Partners who want to limit item availability in certain regions.

Integration flow

To set up regional restrictions:

1. Create regions where items’ SKUs are available by calling the Create region API.
2. Add the region ID to the regions array by calling the API from the Admin category of the Virtual items & currency group when creating or updating an item’s SKU.

"regions": [{
     “id”: “123”
  }, {
     “id”: “456”
  }
]

Example

1. Create the North America region that includes the USA and Canada.

{
  "name": {
     "en-US": "North America",
   },
  "countries": ["US", "CA"]
}

2. Add the region ID to the regions array when updating the SKU of an existing item by calling the Update virtual currency API.
