OPTIMIZING THE F2P EXPERIENCE FOR SMITE

Challenge

In 2015, the SMITE team expressed their goal to consolidate payment processing for products in their store, to help users find their preferred payment methods, and to send all payments to their company’s PayPal account.

Solution

Xsolla partnered with Hi-Rez to switch the in-game store for SMITE to a customized Xsolla In-Game Store interface with Xsolla Pay Station.

These updates would improve the purchase process and boost payment volume with added anti-fraud protection.

EXPONENTIAL GROWTH
