Accept CS2 skins as payment with Skinsback and CryptoPayr
Players hold value in skins as much as in cash. Take CS2, Rust and Dota 2 skins through Skinsback and crypto, cards and wallets through CryptoPayr, side by side on your site.
What is Skinsback?
Skins are in-game items, such as weapon finishes in CS2 or clothing in Rust, that players trade on Steam and on marketplaces. Many players have more value sitting in their inventory than on a card, and skin payments let them spend it: the player deposits items, the items are valued at market price, and the merchant receives the value.
Skinsback is a B2B skins infrastructure company for CS2, Dota 2 and Rust. According to its site it connects businesses to an inventory of more than 2.5 million skins and is used by more than 600 merchants. It handles the skin side: taking items from players, pricing them and settling their value to the business.
For gaming sites, skin trading platforms and game-server shops, offering skins next to crypto and cards means no player leaves because they can't pay. Skinsback covers the skins, CryptoPayr covers 110+ coins plus card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and payment apps.
How Skinsback works on CryptoPayr
Connect Skinsback for skin payments: request an integration on skinsback.com and add their skin deposit to your site. Add CryptoPayr for everything else: the hosted checkout, a payment link, a plugin or the API. Players then choose between depositing skins and paying with crypto, a card or a wallet.
CryptoPayr payments are confirmed automatically once they are final on the blockchain and credited to your USD balance, minus 2%, 1.5% above $1,000 a month or 1% above $5,000 a month. Skin deposits follow Skinsback's own settlement. Both give you payments that a player can't charge back.
