Xsolla Launches Buy Button to Help Mobile Game Developers
Imagine you're playing a game on your phone and want to buy something.
Xsolla created a 'Buy Button' for game developers.
This button lets you buy things directly from the game using a web page, skipping fees that the app stores charge.
Because of a recent court decision, developers can now use these external links.
This helps them keep more money and give players a smoother buying experience.
Xsolla handles the complicated tax stuff, so developers don't have to.
It also allows developers to give rewards and special offers to players.
Xsolla launched a Buy Button for Mobile Games, a direct-to-consumer payment solution.
The Buy Button helps developers avoid up to 30% in platform fees by using external payment links.
Developers can embed payment links within their games for a browser-based checkout.
The U.S. court ruling in April 2025 allowed developers to use external payment links.
Xsolla handles tax calculation, collection, and remittance as the Merchant of Record.
