Why CS2 skins work as a payment
CS2 has the biggest skin economy on Steam. Knives, gloves, rifles and stickers all have a live market price, and many players hold more value in their inventory than on a card. A skins checkout lets them spend it with you, without a card, a bank account or a top-up.
How a skins checkout works
The customer pastes their Steam trade link, picks items until the order total is covered and accepts one trade offer in Steam. Every item is valued the moment the inventory loads, so the customer sees exactly what they pay and you see exactly what you receive.
- The value of every item is shown before the customer picks it
- One trade offer in Steam, nothing to install
- Works on phones and desktops, in a window over your page or on its own page
When the money is yours
The payment is credited to your balance in USD once the trade is final. If Steam Trade Protection applies, SkinsFlow waits for the hold to end and credits you automatically, so you never deliver against a trade that can still be reversed.
Pricing is simple: 2.5% of each credited payment, with no setup fee and no monthly fee.
