Build Your Own Payment Experience With Headless Checkout
October 10, 2023
The checkout process is a critical part of the gaming experience. Unique, personalized payment experiences for gamers are crucial in video game development and monetization efforts. Players will likely abandon their carts if buying in-game items is too complicated, time-consuming, or entirely removes them from the game interface.
With its flexibility, control, and security, Xsolla Headless Checkout gives you everything you need to create an immersive shopping experience so seamless and personalized that players will find it easy and satisfying to buy directly from your game. It's a new, powerful tool that can lead to higher conversions, more revenue, and happier players.
Headless Checkout is an advanced payment customization integration within Xsolla Pay Station that enables game developers to create fully branded and revenue-optimized purchase flows while ensuring the highest level of compliance and security worldwide. It answers the various challenges that developers face in building customized checkouts, such as matching the branding and design of their games, controlling every element of the payment interface, running A/B tests for optimization, and localizing the shopping experience for players around the world.
