VPN, proxy and privacy services for gamers
Skins payments for VPN and privacy services
Gamers use VPNs for lower ping and safer public networks. Let them pay for yours with the skins they already own.
Approval needed. This is a restricted category in our Acceptable Use Policy: it is allowed after our written approval and extra checks during verification.
Gaming VPNs and privacy tools sell to players who care about latency, routing and safety on public networks. Many of those players hold more value in Steam items than they want to put on a card. SkinsFlow lets them pay with CS2, Dota 2 and Rust skins.
Your site creates a payment, the user picks items and accepts one Steam trade, and your account system activates the plan when the signed webhook arrives. WHMCS and the SDKs cover most billing setups.
VPN and proxy services are a restricted category in our Acceptable Use Policy: they need our written approval and enhanced checks before going live. SkinsFlow itself is not available in sanctioned and high-risk countries, and you must not offer the checkout to customers there.
Restricted category: written approval needed. You must not offer the checkout in countries listed in our geographic restrictions, or help anyone get around them.
The problem
What gets in the way today
High-risk labels
Card processors often treat VPNs as high risk and freeze funds.
Users without cards
Gamers who want a VPN are often young and card-less.
Disputes on subscriptions
Card chargebacks on privacy subscriptions are common.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do VPN services need approval?
Yes. VPN and proxy services are a restricted category in our Acceptable Use Policy and need written approval with enhanced checks.
Can customers in restricted countries pay?
No. SkinsFlow is not available in the countries and regions on our geographic restrictions page, and merchants must not offer the checkout there.
Can subscriptions renew automatically?
Each period is paid when due, because a Steam trade always needs the customer to accept it.
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, with no monthly fee.
