Selecting a user data storage
How it works
To handle user actions, your application (client) sends requests to Login API. The request format depends on the selected storage method:
- Xsolla storage (set by default)
- PlayFab
- Custom storage
The number of available Xsolla Login features depends on the selected user data storage.
