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.
The password from Publisher Account can consist of Latin letters, numerals, and special characters and must contain at least:
- 8 characters
- one digit
- one capital letter
- one lowercase letter
To ensure password security, we recommend:
- changing your password at least once every 90 days
- using a new password that does not match the last 4 passwords on your account
- using a unique password that does not match passwords used anywhere else
- not storing your password where it is easily accessible
- using password managers to store your password
Publisher account uses two-factor authentication and sends a confirmation code with each authentication attempt.
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:
- Open Publisher Account.
- In the side menu, click Create project.
- Enter your project name in English (required).
- Select one or several release platforms of your game (required).
- 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).
- Select the game engine.
- Select the monetization options you use or plan to use.
- Specify if the game is already released. If the game hasn’t been released yet, specify the planned release date.
- 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.
Create items in Publisher Account
You need to create a catalog on Xsolla side. You can add items manually or import them from Google Play or PlayFab. When importing from Google Play, you can import a maximum of 100 items at a time.
These instructions provide steps for basic setup of a virtual item. Later, you can add other items to your catalog (virtual currency, bundles, game keys), create item groups, set up promotional campaigns, regional prices, etc.
To add a virtual item with basic settings to the catalog:
- Open your project in Publisher Account.
- Click Store in the side menu.
- In the Virtual Items pane, click Connect.
- In the drop-down menu, select Create item.
- Set the basic settings of the item in the following fields:
- Image (optional)
- SKU (item unique ID)
- Item name
- Description (optional)
- Specify item price:
- Set the Price in real currency toggle to On.
- In the Default currency field, change the currency (optional) and specify the item price.
- If you changed the currency in the Default currency field, select the same currency in the Price in real currency field.
- Change the item status to Available.
- Click Create item.
