How it works

To improve game monetization and attract more gamers, you can create a site with a store or connect a store to an already created site. You can sell game keys, virtual items and virtual currencies via a store.

You can connect the shopping cart on the landing page via block Store. To activate the shopping cart in Web Shop, set up login through Xsolla Login and set the Shopping cart toggler to On.

Shopping cart connects automatically for other templates when the Store block is added.

User flow

1. The gamer goes to the game’s site and navigates to the store section.

2. The gamer selects items to buy. The purchase payment process depends on:
   • quantity of items
   • item type

Purchase of different items quantity

To buy a single item, the gamer clicks Buy Now and pays for the purchase in the payment UI.

To buy multiple items, the gamer clicks the cart icon and adds the item to a shopping cart. After selecting all the items, the gamer goes to the shopping cart, clicks Go to checkout and pays for the purchase in the payment UI.

Purchase of different item types

To buy game keys, the gamer needs to enter their email in the shopping cart window.

To buy a virtual item or a virtual currency, the gamer needs to log in to the site. After the user is logged in, the system can start the payment process or charge virtual currency to the user balance and subtract from it depending on the type of currency for which the item is sold.
