Integration Guide

To integrate the module:

Register an Xsolla Publisher Account.
Create a new project.
Configure the module.
Configure rewards for a premium subscription.
Get a token.
Set up the opening of the store UI.
Set up webhook handling.
Test the payment process.
Launch the module and sign the agreement.

The following parameters are required for the integration:

Merchant ID — shown in the Publisher Account URL: https://publisher.xsolla.com/{merchant_id}/.
API Key — generated in Publisher Account > Settings > Company.
Project ID — shown in the Publisher Account URL when viewing project settings: https://publisher.xsolla.com/{merchant_id}/projects/{project_id}/.
Project secret key — generated in project settings.

This guide describes the minimum set of settings required to quick-start the module. You can find the full list of parameters in the API Reference. In case of any questions, please contact your account manager.

Creating a Project

Go to Projects and click Create new project.
In set up mode:
a. Specify the webhook URL.
b. Generate a secret key to sign project webhooks.
c. Enable the Subscriptions module.
d. Go to Users and set Store users’ data in Xsolla to On.

Setting Up the Module

Go to the Subscriptions module settings and click Create new plan. Specify the following parameters:
a. Name.
b. Payment cycle.
Click Create.
Click Back to plans list to return to basic module settings and create other plans as needed.

Important! A plan can have one currency only. You must create a separate set of plans for each project currency.

Setting Up Rewards for a Premium Plan

You can add the following rewards to a premium plan:

An individual discount on virtual items and in-game currency packages in the game store.
Recurring accrual of in-game currency.
Recurring accrual of virtual items. A user can receive:
- Random items from a list, the range of items and odds of getting them being configured in project settings.
- Specific items, in a sequence specified in project settings.

Important! Depending on the reward you choose, you need to further set up the Virtual Items and/or Virtual Currency modules.

To set up rewards, submit a request to integration@xsolla.com.

Get Token To Open Store

To integrate the store UI into your game, you will need an access token. An access token is a string that identifies the game, user and purchase parameters.

Xsolla API uses HTTP Basic Authentication. Provide your Merchant ID as the basic auth username and the API key as your password.

Set the value to "mode":"sandbox" to test the payment process.

Token endpoint URL:

https://api.xsolla.com/merchant/merchants/{merchant_id}/token

In an HTTP POST request, you can use parameters for store UI. Request and response payloads are formatted as JSON.

Example Request

Below you can find sample code of how to get a token in PHP with the help of Xsolla PHP SDK. If you're using another programming language, please take a look at the CURL example by clicking on the CURL tab.

PHP

CURL

<?php

use Xsolla\SDK\API\XsollaClient;
use Xsolla\SDK\API\PaymentUI\TokenRequest;

$tokenRequest = new TokenRequest($projectId, $userId);
$tokenRequest->setUserEmail('email@example.com')
    ->setExternalPaymentId('12345')
    ->setSandboxMode(true)
    ->setUserName('USER_NAME')
    ->setCustomParameters(array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2'));

$xsollaClient = XsollaClient::factory(array(
    'merchant_id' => MERCHANT_ID,
    'api_key' => API_KEY
));
$token = $xsollaClient->createPaymentUITokenFromRequest($tokenRequest);

    curl -v https://api.xsolla.com/merchant/merchants/{merchant_id}/token \
    -X POST \
    -u your_merchant_id:merchant_api_key \
    -H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
    -H 'Accept: application/json' \
    -d '
    {
        "user": {
            "id": {
                "value": "1234567"
            },
            "email": {
                "value": "email@example.com"
            }
        },
        "settings": {
            "project_id": 14004,
            "mode": "sandbox"
        }
    }'

You can find the full list of parameters in the API Reference.

Opening the Store UI

There are three ways of opening a store:

Use the Pay Station Embed script.
New window.
Iframe.

To open the store in sandbox mode, use the following URL: https://sandbox-secure.xsolla.com/.

Pay Station Embed

The Pay Station Embed script determines the type of device and opens the store UI in a lightbox (on desktop screens) or in a new window (on mobile and tablet screens). We recommend using asynchronous script loading.

Asynchronous script loading example:

 <script>
     var options = {
         access_token: 'ACCESS_TOKEN', //TODO use access token, received on previous step
         sandbox: true //TODO please do not forget to remove this setting when going live
     };
     var s = document.createElement('script');
     s.type = "text/javascript";
     s.async = true;
     s.src = "https://static.xsolla.com/embed/paystation/1.0.7/widget.min.js";
     s.addEventListener('load', function (e) {
         XPayStationWidget.init(options);
     }, false);
     var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
     head.appendChild(s);
 </script>

<button data-xpaystation-widget-open>Buy Credits</button>

You can find the full list of parameters in the API Reference.

New Window

To open the store UI in a new window, use the following link: https://secure.xsolla.com/paystation2/?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN, where ACCESS_TOKEN is the token obtained in the previous step.

Iframe

To open the store UI in an iframe, you must implement the following mechanisms on your side:

Specify the device type (desktop vs mobile) and send it within the token’s settings.ui.version parameter;
Receiving events from the payment UI via postMessage.

To open the store UI in a new window, use the following link: https://secure.xsolla.com/paystation2/?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN, where ACCESS_TOKEN is the token obtained in the previous step.

Setting Up Webhooks

Xsolla sends the following webhooks to your project:

Payment
Subscription created
Inventory content changed
Subscription updated/extended
Refund
Subscription canceled

To acknowledge that you received webhook notifications without any problem, your server should return a 204 HTTP status code without body. The full description of webhook mechanism with samples is described in detail in the API Reference.

Creating a Signature

To create a signature:

Concatenate the data sent in the Xsolla server’s request and the project’s secret key (generated in project settings).
Hash the string using the SHA1 algorithm.
Send the signature in the Signature header.

When handling a webhook, make sure that the signature received matches the one set in the Signature header.

Payment

The Xsolla server sends a webhook including payment details whenever a user completes a payment.

Testing Webhooks

To test the webhook handler:

In the Publisher Account, open the module settings.
Go to the Testing tab.
Enter the test data and click Test. The Xsolla server will send all possible webhooks.
The test is marked green in case of a valid response and red in case of an error.

Testing Payment Process

Xsolla Sandbox is a standalone environment that supports all features of the live environment, except real payments. You can access the Sandbox by sending "mode" = "sandbox" when getting the token.

To test a bank card payment:

Open the store in sandbox mode.
Choose the item to purchase.
Click Credit/debit cards.
Enter the bank card details and any values in the remaining fields. You can also specify incorrect details (card number, expiration date, or CVV) in order to generate an error.

List of bank cards to be used for testing

Important! Sandbox bank card payments can only be made in USD, EUR, RUB, GBP, SGD, HKD, or THB.

Launching the Module

To launch the module after its successful testing, open its settings in the Publisher Account, go to the Launch tab, and click On.

Important! Before you can accept real payments, you must:

Remove "mode" = "sandbox".
Sign the agreement.
