How to open payment UI

Note

Before you sign a contract with Xsolla, testing your payment process is only available in sandbox mode. In case of any errors, see their descriptions.

To open the payment UI in sandbox mode, use the following URL: https://sandbox-secure.xsolla.com/paystation4/?token=ACCESS_TOKEN, where ACCESS_TOKEN is the token obtained in the previous step.

New window

To open the payment UI in a new window, use the following URL: https://sandbox-secure.xsolla.com/paystation4/?token=TOKEN, where TOKEN is the obtained token.

Note
Use the link above to open the payment UI in sandbox mode. After the project launch, use this URL https://secure.xsolla.com/paystation4/?token=TOKEN.
You can also open the payment UI using other options:
  • With Pay Station Embed. Limitation: there might be problems when opening it in the in-game browser (WebView).
  • In iframe. Limitation: there might be problems when opening it in the in-game browser (WebView) and in the mobile version of your application.

Pay Station Embed

Notice
This way of opening payment UI doesn’t support selling game keys. To sell game keys, follow the instruction.

Pay Station Embed allows getting events from the payment UI via postMessage. You can send these events to analytics systems. To set up events processing in your analytics system, contact your Customer Success Manager or email to csm@xsolla.com.
