Invision Community
Invision Community 4.7 with Commerce · PHP 8.0+Skins for Commerce on your forum: subscriptions, paid clubs and products.
Forums, clans and paid community access
Skins payments for gaming forums and communities
Fund your forum with account upgrades and memberships that members pay for with skins. Access is granted automatically.
Gaming forums and clan sites keep the lights on with supporter upgrades, subscriptions and paid clubs. Their members are Steam users first. With SkinsFlow, those members can pay with CS2, Dota 2 and Rust items.
Add-ons for Invision Community and XenForo plug straight into the subscription and upgrade systems you already use. The member picks items, accepts one Steam trade, and the upgrade or membership is applied as soon as the payment is final.
Payments are credited in USD after 2.5%. Members always get something for their payment: an upgrade, access or a perk.
Payments must buy something. Letting members sell to each other through your SkinsFlow account is not allowed without a written agreement.
The problem
What gets in the way today
Members without cards
Many of your most active members are young or abroad.
Upgrades applied by hand
Matching off-platform payments to usernames takes time.
Costly subscriptions
Card fees hit small monthly upgrades hardest.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Which forum software is supported?
Invision Community (with Commerce) and XenForo have ready-made add-ons. Other software can use the pay button or an SDK.
Do upgrades renew automatically?
Each period is paid when it is due, because a Steam trade always needs the member to accept it.
Can members sell items to each other?
Not through your SkinsFlow account. Letting third parties take payments through your account needs a written agreement with us.
What is Steam Trade Protection?
Steam can hold traded items for up to 7 days and return them to the customer in that window. SkinsFlow tracks every protected payment: it is credited automatically when the hold ends, or right away if you release it early because you trust the customer. If items go back after an early release, the amount comes off your balance and your site is told.
What does it cost?
The add-ons are free. SkinsFlow charges 2.5% of each credited payment.
