InComm, an Atlanta-based prepaid product and payments technology firm, has partnered with Xsolla to develop a solution for gamers paying with cash through its VanillaDirect Pay platform, according to a company release.
Under the agreement, customers of video game retailer GameStop, which has 3,800 locations nationwide, will be able to use the cash payment platform to let Xsolla customers load their gaming accounts with cash.
Gamers will, therefore, be able to load accounts and buy subscriptions with cash, and not require a credit or debit card. According to Xsolla, about 52 percent of their customers prefer loading with cash.
Xsolla provides payment and billing solutions to some of the biggest online and mobile games in the world, including Smite, Phoenix Point and PUBG.
Gamers using cash only need to bring a barcode from the mobile website or the mobile app to one of GameStop's locations and pay the cash to the store cashier, according to a spokesman for InComm. Customer accounts will be updated after the barcode is scanned and payment made.
