In a shifting mobile game market, how can you increase and keep more revenue? These are the areas that need the most attention to ensure long-term success.
Many developers have chosen to expand their game beyond the in-game sales and the app stores and to sell directly to gamers from a game-branded web storefront.
Xsolla Web Shop’s latest update includes various LiveOps features to help you monetize mobile players more efficiently, mitigate the rising cost of user acquisition, and multiply repeat purchases, engagement, and retention.
Xsolla Web Shop empowers developers to expand reach, boost player loyalty, and maximize profit potential by moving game-related purchases to the web. A web store offers ways to help game creators achieve a new level of connection with players and make operations and marketing much more convenient.
Thanks to our latest updates, you can take customization even further and tailor your shop to your players’ specific needs.
This feature lets you limit the number of consumable items available to users. After setup, a counter will appear on the site showing the number of items available for purchase. With Number-Limited Offers, you can encourage users to make a first-time — or repeat — purchase on the web. To learn more about using this feature, visit our guide: How to Encourage Users to Make First Purchase.
For details on how to set up Number-Limited Offers, refer to our documentation: Time Limited and Number Limited Offers.
The function allows you to define the number of available virtual items according to a specific schedule ⏤ i.e., daily, weekly, or monthly⏤ and update as needed. For example, you can offer a free product that the user can receive once a day.
Refresh Limits allow you to
You can use recurring quantity limits to provide users with daily rewards. For more ways to use this feature, visit our guide: How to Provide Users with Daily Rewards.
For details on how to set up Refresh Limit, refer to our documentation: Time Limited and Number Limited Offers.
The Time-Limited Offers feature allows you to set the display period for one or more items in the store. It is most useful when you want to:
Limiting the display time is available for the following item types:

The Bonus Promotions feature is a marketing tool that helps increase sales through value-added offers to users when they purchase goods. A user can receive several bonuses when they make a purchase. You can include the same catalog item in several bonus promotions.
We recently reworked this section’s design to emphasize bonuses with a clearly desirable value.
Featured Offers allows players to see featured products in a fun, slider format, perfect for showcasing limited and unique offers.
You can now offer free items to authorized users whether or not they spend virtual or real currency. . Free items are a web shop exclusive feature that clearly communicates added value. The purchase flow magnifies a player's trust because they clearly see items being added to their inventory. Free items can include:
Here are a few examples of usage:

We designed the Loyalty Program feature to give you the ability to incentivize users to spend real currency in the in-game store without reducing the cost of currency and items.
With each web shop purchase, the user receives currency they may spend on web-exclusive offers and items. The more purchases players make, the more web shop currency they get — ultimately increasing the shop’s “stickiness” and boosting return visits and repeat purchases.
You can set up virtual currency in the following ways:
You can set up a Loyalty Program by contacting your Account Manager or emailing am@xsolla.com.
Currently in beta testing, the Reward System is a new feature that enables the award of special reward points for purchases made in the store.
With accumulated points, users can receive rewards for completing steps in a chain of required actions. The mechanics of how this feature works is a bit similar to the battle pass in games.
This feature is still in the pilot stage of development. The PWA is the most direct — and legally compliant — way to drive players to the web shop with a single click via a shortcut that users can add to their mobile phone’s home screen.
If you’re an Xsolla partner, you’re already empowered to drive traffic and grow your game and revenue. When you’re ready to use these new Web Shop tools, head to Xsolla Publisher Account, an easy-to-use, all-in-one control center that lets you set up and manage every Xsolla product you need to optimize and monetize your games.
