Xsolla is a global e-commerce organization founded in 2005. Originally, the company started as a payment solutions provider specifically catering to the needs of online gaming. Over the years, Xsolla expanded its services beyond payment processing to become a comprehensive platform that supports game developers and publishers in multiple aspects of their business offering a platform that facilitates in-game purchases, virtual currency transactions, offering tools for game development, marketing, analytics, anti-fraud and much more.

Sparked by our deep love for gaming’s union of technology and artistry, our product suite operates in more than 200 countries and territories, 20+ languages, and 130 currencies. What hasn’t changed since our launch in 2005 is our conviction that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to play.
