About Xsolla

What the company provides

  • Gateway
  • Merchant of Record
  • Technical service provider

Available countries, payment methods, data access, contracts and funds handling depend on the selected product.

Xsolla provides game-commerce products for developers and publishers.

Pay Station is its payment checkout product; Xsolla Payments is the wider solution that groups Pay Station with supporting game-commerce tools. Pay Station has two materially different commercial configurations: Xsolla can sell approved game content to the player as Merchant of Record and aggregate the developer's payout, or the developer can connect its own payment-system agreements through Partner Gateways and retain the direct money flow, tax, refund, chargeback and payout-cost responsibilities.
