Xsolla Partner Ecosystem is a marketplace of gaming industry third-party vendors and services that can improve and innovate Xsolla solutions and provide additional value to game developers. The marketplace is available to game developers who work with Xsolla via Publisher Account.

Partners who join the Ecosystem can access Xsolla resources such as revenue sharing referral agreements, co-marketing, and technical integrations. This allows partners to attract game developers who work with Xsolla to their product or service and reduce costs for lead generation. Also, partnership with Xsolla, as one of the leading platforms for in-game payments, can increase the partner’s brand recognition.

Requirements

To join the Xsolla Partner Ecosystem, fill out a partnership application. You must meet the following criteria:

• Serve or specialize in the gaming industry.
• Don’t compete with Xsolla solutions.
• Provide three references from customers in the gaming industry.

Partnership tiers

On the marketplace, vendors and services are divided into the following collections depending on partnership tier:

• Strategic Partners — basic partnership tier for partners who haven’t yet been verified by Xsolla, don’t have simplified integration with Xsolla solutions, and are not engaged in the Xsolla referral program.
• Pre-Integrated Solutions — vendors and services that are pre-integrated with Xsolla solutions and simplify game development and monetization, or solve other business tasks, allowing developers to focus on creating games.
• Verified Vendors — partners that have gone through Xsolla vendor verification process, including reference checks, and basic legal and compliance review.
• Preferred Partners — partners that are engaged in the Xsolla referral program in some capacity or provide a special discount on their product or service for game developers who work with Xsolla. Such partners are actively promoted by Xsolla on the marketplace and beyond.

After validating the partnership application, Xsolla adds all partners that meet the above requirements to the marketplace. The partner gets access to their profile and can provide information about their product or service, for example, by adding:

• game development stages and platforms the product or service specializes in
• use cases for the product or service
• relevant videos

Once the partner meets the general requirements, they can move up to a higher tier of partnership with Xsolla and gain access to additional benefits.
