Which games and items it takes
The more inventories you accept, the more customers can pay. Check whether a provider takes CS2 only or Dota 2 and Rust as well, and whether customers see the value of every item before they pick it. SkinsFlow takes all three.
How it handles Steam Trade Protection
Ask when you are credited. A gateway that credits before the hold ends leaves you exposed to reversed trades. SkinsFlow credits once the trade is final and lets you release trusted customers early if you choose.
How you connect
Look for ready-made plugins for the platform you run, a pay button for simple sites and SDKs for custom builds, plus a test mode with real items. SkinsFlow has 18 ready-made integrations and test mode on every account.
How you get paid
Check the currency of your balance and the ways to take money out. SkinsFlow credits USD and pays out by crypto, SEPA, ACH, PayPal or Revolut. You can also buy skins from the built-in market with your balance and send them to your customers.
Pricing and support
Prefer public pricing you can plan around, and support you can reach. SkinsFlow charges 2.5% per credited payment with no monthly fee, and offers a Help Center, ticket support and a dashboard in 8 languages.
How reliable it is
Every minute your checkout is down is a sale you miss. Ask what uptime a provider promises and where you can see its status. SkinsFlow promises 99% uptime and shows live status on its status page.
