Skins payments for gaming software and SaaS

Sell licences and subscriptions for your gaming tools to users who would rather pay with their Steam inventory.

Get started Talk to us

Stat trackers, overlays, demo analysers, server admin panels, anti-cheat for community servers, bots and launchers: gaming software is bought by gamers, and gamers carry skins. SkinsFlow lets them pay for licences and subscriptions with CS2, Dota 2 and Rust items.

Your app or website creates a payment; the user picks items and accepts one Steam trade; your licence server receives a signed webhook and activates the key. The PHP, Node.js and Python SDKs keep it to a few lines, and WHMCS or Easy Digital Downloads handle licensing if you already use them.

Tools must follow the games' rules. Cheats, hacks, aimbots, exploits and unauthorised mods are prohibited under our Acceptable Use Policy, as are tools built to get around security checks.

No cheats, hacks, aimbots, exploits, unauthorised mods or tools that get around security checks.

The problem

What gets in the way today

Card fraud on licences

Stolen cards buy licences that are disputed weeks later.

Much of your audience is young or abroad.

Manual activation

Activating licences after off-platform payments takes time.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Are cheats or hacks allowed?

No. Cheats, hacks, aimbots, exploits and unauthorised mods for online games are prohibited, as are tools built to get around security checks.

Can I sell subscriptions?

Yes, paid per period. A Steam trade always needs the user to accept it, so renewals are paid when due rather than charged automatically.

How does activation work?

Your backend creates the payment with the licence or user ID as the reference and activates it when the signed webhook arrives.

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?

SkinsFlow charges 2.5% of each credited payment. No monthly fee.
