Your audience can support your channel by buying the games you stream, and Xsolla Partner Network gives you access to game campaigns and free Twitch streaming tools from one account. If you stream on Twitch, you already know the challenges of monetizing your channel. Subs and Bits depend on your audience size. Sponsorships can take months of outreach, and game affiliate links are scattered across different programs, each with its own dashboard. Monetization campaigns and their advantages Game publishers use campaigns to connect with creators who can introduce their games to new audiences. Xsolla Partner Network brings available campaigns into one place, so you can apply to the ones that fit your stream and review their terms before applying. Campaigns come from game publishers across every genre, on PC, mobile, and console, and we add new titles every week. You choose which campaigns to apply for. Nothing appears on your stream or storefront unless you apply for the campaign. There are two kinds of campaigns: Revenue share campaigns Promote games you enjoy and get a share of the sales through your storefront link. You'll see each publisher's revenue share before applying, so you know what to expect. Your storefront keeps working after you end your stream, too. Add the link to your Twitch panels or chatbot commands so viewers can find the games you recommend while watching VODs or visiting your channel later. Game key campaigns Receive free game keys in exchange for promoting a game on your channel. These campaigns can be a good fit when a publisher wants creators to showcase a new title, giving you a way to introduce your audience to games you might not otherwise feature. Revenue share campaigns may also include a free game key for accepted creators, so you can play the game before promoting it to your community. Tools you need to manage your stream Connect with your community and make it easier for viewers to support you with seven free tools built for Twitch. Each tool serves a different purpose, from customizing your stream to tracking activity and managing your storefront:
  • Creator storefront. Give your viewers one place to buy the games you play, in-game items, currency, and bundles. Set up your branded storefront once. Add its link to your Twitch panels, pin it in chat, or include it in a chatbot command.
    -Creator site. Create a dedicated page where your community can shop games and in-game items from your active Partner Network campaigns, support you with tips, and view your loyalty leaderboard.
  • Stream overlays. Customize your stream with OBS overlays, including alerts, chat boxes, labels, widgets, and custom scenes. Add the browser source URL to your streaming software and see changes live without restarting. Adjust alerts during a stream without interrupting your broadcast.
  • Twitch chatbot. Keep your chat active and your key links easy to find with moderation tools, commands, loyalty points, viewer quotes, timers, and in-chat alerts. Set a timer to share your storefront link periodically, or create a command like [!game] to tell viewers what you’re playing and where to buy it.
  • Tipping. Let viewers support your channel with tips alongside Twitch Bits and subscriptions. Xsolla takes no cut of tips; only PayPal’s standard processing fee applies.
  • Stream statistics. See your stream activity and campaign revenue in one dashboard. Track viewers, followers, subscriptions, chat activity, and campaign earnings, alongside a live feed of follows, raids, cheers, subscriptions, and tips. Compare activity across streams to see which broadcasts lead to purchases.
  • Charity streams. Give your community a way to support causes through your streams. Run donation drives with Tiltify and Extra Life, with on-screen alerts showing contributions in real time.
You don’t need to be a Twitch Partner or Affiliate, have a minimum viewer count, or stream full-time to get started. Xsolla Partner Network's products and tools are free for Twitch streamers to use. You just need a Twitch account and an audience interested in games. Campaigns are available to creators on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and X, while the streaming tools are currently built for Twitch. How campaigns and tools work together Campaigns give you games to promote, and your streaming tools help turn viewer interest into sales. Together, they help you share games with your community, make your storefront easy to find, and see which promotions resonate with your audience. Here’s how the pieces can work together across a stream:
  • Before you go live. Apply to a revenue share campaign for a game you plan to play. Once accepted, add the game to your creator storefront and make the link easy to find with a chatbot command, a timed chat message, or an overlay label.
  • During the stream. A viewer asks where to get the game. Your chatbot shares your storefront link, and the viewer makes a purchase. If purchase alerts are enabled and supported for that setup, an on-stream alert can let you and your chat know about the sale.
  • After the stream. Check Stream Statistics to review viewers, chat activity, and campaign revenue. Use those results to decide which games to promote next.
Getting paid Once you’ve verified your identity, you can request payment through the available methods, including bank transfer, PayPal, or Xsolla Money (currently available to US creators only). Xsolla also handles tax information as part of the payout process, so you don’t have to invoice each publisher separately. How it compares to other revenue streams Twitch subscriptions, Bits, and the Affiliate and Partner programs let viewers support you directly. Xsolla Partner Network adds another revenue stream: games your audience buys through your storefront. These income sources can work side by side. A viewer can subscribe to your channel and buy a game through your storefront, supporting your channel in two ways. Compared with general affiliate programs, Xsolla Partner Network focuses specifically on games and related digital content. It also brings campaign access, a storefront, streaming tools, and statistics together in one account. Getting started
  1. Create a free account. Sign up with your Twitch account. No downloads are needed.
  2. Set up your streaming tools. Configure the chatbot, customize an overlay, and create your Creator Storefront before applying to campaigns, so everything is ready when you’re accepted.
  3. Apply to campaigns. Browse game key and revenue share offers, and choose the ones that fit the games you already stream.
  4. Share your storefront and track results. Direct viewers to your storefront during streams, then check Stream Statistics to see what worked.

With Xsolla Partner Network, you can apply to game campaigns, promote titles through your storefront, and use seven free tools to manage your Twitch stream, all from one account. Sign up for free at xsolla.com/for/creators. FAQ Is it free for Twitch streamers? Yes. Creating an account, applying to campaigns, and using the streaming tools are all free. Do I need to be a Twitch Affiliate or Partner? No. You can join without Twitch Affiliate or Partner status, and there’s no minimum follower count or audience size. Each campaign has its own application process, and the publisher decides which creators to accept. How does revenue share work? You receive a share of each game sale or in-game item made through your storefront link. The publisher sets the revenue share for each campaign, so you can review the terms before applying. After verifying your identity, you can request payment through the available methods. Xsolla also handles tax information as part of the payout process.
