From Web Shop to Xsolla SDK: A Natural Progression
If your game already utilizes Xsolla's Web Shop, you're well-positioned to integrate the Xsolla SDK with minimal effort:
- Existing Infrastructure: Your Web Shop integration means you already have server hooks and backend integrations in place for user authentication, inventory management, and purchase processing.
- Product Mirroring: To enable in-app purchases via the Xsolla SDK, you primarily need to mirror your existing Web Shop products as in-app products. This process is straightforward, as the groundwork is already laid.
- Unified Backend: With Web Shop in place, your backend is primed to handle requests from the Xsolla SDK, requiring only minor adjustments to support in-app transactions.
From Xsolla SDK to Web Shop: Opening New Channels Effortlessly
Conversely, if you've integrated Xsolla SDK, launching a Web Shop becomes a breeze:
- Ready-to-Go Infrastructure: The Xsolla SDK integration means your game already communicates with Xsolla's backend services for user authentication and purchase processing.
- Virtual Item Catalog in Place: Your In-app products (VI aka SKU/IAP) are already defined in Xsolla's system, making it simple to extend these offerings to a web-based storefront.
- Minimal Additional Setup: With the core integration complete via the Xsolla SDK, setting up a Web Shop requires just a few additional tweaks to go live, such as customizing the web interface and defining web-specific offers.
