Xsolla servers integration

With this type of integration, the following tasks are performed on the Xsolla side:

  • catalog storage and management
  • price management
  • storing data on regional prices
  • regional restrictions management
  • inventory management
  • management of promotional campaigns
  • user authentication
  • user access management
  • transaction processing

You don’t need to configure your own server side for these tasks.

Integration flow

To integrate with Xsolla servers using the Game Commerce asset:

  1. Install the asset.
  2. Set up the project in your Publisher Account.
  3. Set up Login or implement your own authorization system using the Pay Station access token.
  4. Set up the Virtual Currency module (optional).
  5. Set up the Virtual Items module.
  6. Set up your Unity project.

After the integration is complete, test the payment process.

Note
This guide describes the minimum settings required to quick-start the module. For any questions, contact your Account Manager.

Install asset

Note
Only the latest version of the SDK is available through CDN. If you need a different version, you can download it from GitHub.
  1. Download Unity.
  2. Pick a personal or professional Unity license based on your preferences.
  3. Create a new Unity project.
  4. Download the asset.
  5. Unzip the package.
  6. In the Unity editor, go to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package in the main menu and select the asset.
  7. Make sure that the Mono compiler is used for creating a game build (for standalone builds only). To do this:
    1. Click Edit > Project Settings in the main menu.
    2. Go to the Other Settings > Configuration section.
    3. Make sure that Mono is chosen in the Scripting Backend field.

After installing the asset, launch the Xsollus demo scene from the Assets > Xsolla > DemoCommon > Scene directory. The demo scene shows the features of the asset and represents a possible implementation of the application logic.

For the demo scene, a project in Publisher Account is preset and an in-game store is fully configured.

Default values for the Xsollus demo scene:

KeyValue
Login ID026201e3-7e40-11ea-a85b-42010aa80004
Project ID77640

You can use the demo scene in two ways:

  • as an example
  • as an initial version of the login system, inventory, and in-game store in order to get a quick result and expand its capabilities if necessary

To use the demo scene or its parts in your application, add it in build settings:

  1. Go to Assets > Xsolla > DemoCommon > Scene and launch the Xsollus scene.
  2. Open File > Build settings and click Add Open Scenes.

Create project in Publisher Account

  1. Sign up to Publisher Account.

    2. To fill in the game data manually, click I don’t have a link, set up manually and specify:
      • project languages (English is set by default)
      • project name for all specified languages
      • game website (optional)

Set up Virtual Items module

Note
The SDK methods support the following types of items:
  • Consumable item — an item in the inventory that can be accrued or purchased repeatedly and decreases in its number once used. The item stock can be replenished. Example: grenades and bullets to attack the opponents, first aid kits, etc.
  • Nonconsumable — an item in the inventory that can be accrued or purchased only once and doesn’t disappear from the inventory. Example: access to a location, status, etc.
  • Nonrenewing subscription — a nonconsumable item that is available for a limited period of time and doesn’t disappear from the inventory when it expires. For example, premium access or season access. For more details, see In-Game Store documentation.
  1. Open your project in Publisher Account.
  2. Click Connect in the Store pane. You can go to the In-Game Store settings from any section of Publisher Account by clicking the Store in the side menu.

    2. To enable sandbox mode, check the Enable sandbox? box.
    3. In the Authorization method field, select OAuth2.0.
    4. In the OAuth2.0 client ID field, specify Client ID received when setting up OAuth 2.0 in Publisher Account.

As a result, your project in Publisher Account will be connected to the demo scene.

  1. Launch the demo scene Assets > Xsolla > DemoCommon > Scene > Xsollus and make sure that the authorization and other functions are working correctly.
  2. Design an interface for the login system, in-game store, and other pages for your application.
Note
You can create your own solution by following Unity instructions, or use the demo scene as a template. To adapt the demo scene interface to your application, use the UI builder.
  1. Set up event handling according to your application logic using SDK methods. Follow the step-by-step tutorials to get started with basic SDK features.

Test payment process

After successfully configuring the asset, test the payment process. By default, all payments are made in sandbox mode for any users. Use a test bank card to simulate a successful payment process.

Test the payment process by making real payments:

  1. Make sure that you have signed a contract with Xsolla.
  2. In your Unity project, uncheck the Enable sandbox? box in the Inspector panel.

Note
After the first real payment is made, a strict sandbox payment policy takes effect. A payment in the sandbox mode is available only to users who are specified in Publisher Account > Company settings > Users.
