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.

Benefits of Xsolla Headless Checkout

Here are just a few of the ways that Xsolla Headless Checkout can help boost conversions and revenue while also meeting player needs:

Increased customization. Developers can fully customize the checkout experience to match the branding and design of their games, with complete control of the user interface (UI) and the user experience (UX). That creates a more immersive experience for players and makes them more likely to complete their purchases
Brand consistency. Seamlessly match and integrate the payment interface into the design of your games or gaming systems. That maintains brand consistency and delivers a cohesive experience for players across platforms.
Reduced friction. Developers can choose to set up their checkout without requiring players to switch between different screens or websites to complete their purchases, making the process faster and easier and reducing the likelihood of players abandoning their carts.
Complete ownership and control. Gain valuable insights and optimize your payment processes when you run your own A/B tests to determine which payment methods and checkout setups yield the highest conversions and revenue.
Enhanced customer privacy and security. Headless Checkout includes pre-built UI components to handle sensitive payment details securely, reducing the risk of data breaches and ensuring customer privacy.
