A new way for payment providers to grow inside the gaming ecosystem
May 27, 2026•3 min
Payment providers play a critical but often invisible role in game commerce. They process transactions, enable local payment methods, and help connect players to games across markets. Until now, however, most payment providers have operated as backend infrastructure with limited visibility or direct engagement in the gaming ecosystem.
Xsolla is changing that with a new dedicated portal designed for payment providers. This launch creates a direct entry point into Xsolla’s global network of thousands of developers and titles across more than 200 markets, giving payment providers more control, clearer visibility, and new opportunities to grow within the gaming industry.
Let’s dive into how this will transform the way payment providers connect to gaming's largest commerce network.
A unified hub for integration, distribution, and growth
The new payment provider portal is designed to simplify how providers connect to games while expanding what they can do once integrated.
Since gaming is now more than a single-market or single-platform industry spanning mobile, PC, web, and console, it’s important for payment providers that want to scale to have more than technical integrations, and this platform is a way to offer the visibility, tools, and access they need.
Instead of functioning solely as a payment rail in the background, providers now have a dedicated account within the Xsolla ecosystem. This will become a central hub for managing onboarding, integrations, and partnerships across thousands of games.
Benefits for payment providers
The portal is built around four core capabilities that help payment providers operate more effectively and grow their presence in gaming.
- Centralized onboarding and integration. Payment providers can manage agreements, integration setup, and account configuration in one place. This reduces fragmentation and improves coordination across technical and commercial teams.
- Instant access to a global developer network. Payment methods can be made available across Xsolla’s network of more than 1,500 game developers, including mobile, PC, console, and web games, so providers can scale their distribution.
- Co-branded stores and marketing opportunities. Enable collaboration between payment providers and game studios on co-branded storefronts and promotional campaigns to position payment methods directly in front of engaged players.
- Built-in insights and analytics. Track transaction data, conversion rates, and revenue contribution in a single dashboard for actionable insight on where payment methods perform best to optimize growth strategies.
