We are excited to support you on this journey to more strategic and profitable game development.
Expanding on the concept
Expanding on the concept of out-of-app-store payments, it's essential to recognize the strategic benefits they offer, especially in light of evolving digital market regulations such as the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Out-of-store payments allow developers to distribute their own application files, like APKs for Android or Notarized versions of apps for iOS (e.g., through Web Distribution), outside the confines of traditional app stores. When developers opt for distributing games independently - in a direct-to-consumer way - they retain greater control over their profits. However, this approach raises crucial questions about user authentication, in-app purchases (IAP) / SKUs, and alternative payment methods outside of the platforms' first-party ecosystems. A similar set of topics is addressed when embarking on a mission to expand the range of payment options for in-store monetization via Google's User Choice Billing (UCB) and Apple's Alternative Payments. The answer to these complexities lies in Xsolla Pay Station, accessible through the Xsolla Mobile SDK.
Solutions
Xsolla Pay Station is specifically designed to enable developers to monetize their applications efficiently preserving a larger share of revenue for developers. Furthermore, with over 700 payment options, Xsolla Pay Station opens up a plethora of monetization opportunities in regions and through methods not typically supported by platforms. This flexibility allows developers to tap into new markets and cater to a broader audience.
Additionally, pairing Xsolla Mobile Payments SDK with distribution solutions from companies like Digital Turbine amplifies this advantage. Digital Turbine facilitates the distribution of APK files, reaching millions of devices worldwide, including partnerships with major carriers. A partnership like this can broaden the reach of developers' apps but also enhances their profit margins.
