Create and set up project in Publisher Account

Sign up to Publisher Account

Publisher Account is the main tool to configure Xsolla features, as well as to work with analytics and transactions.

The data about the company and your application specified during registration will be used to create a draft licensing agreement with Xsolla and to generate recommendations on solutions that are suitable for you. You can change the data later, but providing the correct data when you sign up will speed up the process of signing the licensing agreement.

To sign up, go to Publisher Account and create an account.

Create project in Publisher Account

If you have multiple applications, we recommend creating a separate project for each application. Based on the data specified during project creation, Xsolla generates recommendations on solutions that are suitable for you.

To create a new project:

1. Open Publisher Account.
2. In the side menu, click Create project.

3. Enter your project name in English (required).

4. Select one or several release platforms of your game (required).
5. Add a link to your game. If your game doesn’t have a website yet, add a link to the source that includes information about the game (required).
6. Select the game engine.
7. Select the monetization options you use or plan to use.
8. Specify if the game is already released. If the game hasn’t been released yet, specify the planned release date.
9. Click Create project. You will see a page with the Xsolla products recommended for you.

During the integration process, you need to provide the project ID that can be found in your Publisher Account next to the project name.

Set up user authentication

Xsolla allows you to configure various ways to authenticate users. This guide contains instructions on the fastest way to integrate and configure it — using a ready-made widget to authenticate the user via a one-time code or via a social network.

Later, you can change the user authentication method or use a different integration option.

Xsolla provides standard widget templates. Their appearance and content is determined by the Login method chosen for your project and widget customization settings from Publisher Account.
