Install plug-in

1. Download the Epic Games Launcher.
2. Create a new UE4 project.
3. Download plug-in from Unreal Engine Marketplace or GitHub.

After installing the plug-in, launch demo maps from the Content Browser > Xsolla Content > Maps directory. Demo maps show the features of the plug-in and represent a possible implementation of the application logic.

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

Default values for demo maps:

You can use demo maps 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
