How it works

What your customers see

Right next to your other payment methods, at the price they already see.

They pick skins and accept one trade

CS2, Dota 2 and Rust items, priced live, until the total is covered.

The order completes on its own

A signed webhook tells XenForo, and USD lands on your SkinPlata balance.

FAQ

XenForo questions

What does the XenForo integration cost?

Downloading and installing it is free. 0% fees on payments, purchases and payouts. No setup or monthly fee, and failed, expired and returned payments cost nothing.

When is a payment marked as paid?

When the trade is final. The integration checks the signature of every webhook and reads the payment again from SkinPlata before it changes anything, so nobody can fake a payment from the browser.

What about Steam trade protection?

Steam can hold traded items for up to 7 days. Until then the payment waits on hold and nothing is delivered. When the hold ends it completes on its own, or you release it early in your dashboard if you trust the customer.

Can I test before going live?

Yes. Your project has a test secret that works while it is still in review. Test payments use real items and prices, but nothing moves: you play every outcome from the checkout.
