1. Sign an additional agreement with Xsolla.

2. Set up the gateway for Steam in your Publisher Account.
3. Set up native authentication via Steam.
4. Go to your UE4 project.
5. Go to Settings > Project Settings > Plugins > Xsolla Store and check the Build for Steam box.

After changing the UE4 project settings, the x-steam-userid header will be added to the payment token request.
