How to accept CS2 skins on your website

From sign-up to the first real payment: what you need, the two integration options, and how to handle webhooks safely.

Updated · SkinPlata team

1. Create an account and a project

Sign up with your e-mail, then submit a project: name, website, average monthly turnover, country and a Telegram or Discord contact. No ID documents. You get a project key and a test secret at once; the live secret works once our team approves the project.

2. Pick an integration

  • Hosted checkout — POST /payments returns pay_url. Redirect the user, open it in a pop-up or put embed_url in an iframe. Fastest to ship.
  • Direct payments — GET /inventory returns the user's items with prices; you build the picker and call POST /payments/direct. Full control over the UI.

Both send the same webhooks and land on the same balance.

3. Handle the webhook

Set your webhook URL on the project page. Every event is signed with HMAC-SHA256 over "<timestamp>.<raw body>" using your whsec_ secret. Verify the signature, refuse timestamps older than five minutes, then re-read the payment with GET /payments/{id} before you credit anything.

Credit on deposit.in_hold for speed, or on deposit.success once Steam's trade protection has passed.

4. Test everything

With your sk_test_ secret every trade is simulated: real item names and prices, a test balance and a button for each outcome on the checkout. POST /test/payments/{id}/simulate drives outcomes from your code.

5. Go live

When the project is approved, switch to the sk_live_ secret. Payouts go out in USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, LTC, SEPA, PayPal or Wise from $25.

The first API call

Create a payment and send the customer to pay_url. Every endpoint: API reference.

curl -X POST 'https://skinplata.com/api/v1/payments' \
  -H 'X-Project-Key: pk_your_key' \
  -H 'X-Project-Secret: sk_test_your_secret' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"order_id":"inv-1042","game":"cs2","currency":"usd","min_amount":5,"metadata":{"user_id":"8812"}}'
