FastSpring now makes it simple for publishers and developers to steer players from in-game experiences to a secure, localized web checkout and back to the game — all in a matter of seconds.
With FastSpring’s Steer Safe™ buttons and links approach, you can easily add purchase buttons or links directly in game or in app and securely pass player, product information and more to your FastSpring powered checkout on the web before returning the player to the game — all while delivering the fastest, least-taps path possible.
Key Benefits of FastSpring’s Steer Safe™ Buttons and Links Approach
- Shortest path possible:
- Link directly to your store or link directly to a web hosted checkout for the least taps path possible.
- Drop-in secure links or buttons for purchase:
- Add buy buttons or links that go to a FastSpring checkout, or your web store directly from in game and securely pass encrypted player data, product data, and more.
- Increased conversion with automatic mobile-native payments:
- With Payment Hierarchy, automatically detect your users’ device and default to Apple Pay on iOS or Google Pay on Android
- Synced backends and trusted player transaction authorization:
- FastSpring webhooks notify your backend when a purchase is complete, so you can grant entitlements and update player records in real time. These simple principles apply whether you’re using platforms like Unity Gaming Services, Firebase, or your own custom backend.
- Seamless in-game to web flows:
- Fully customizable checkout experiences ensure that your game’s brand remains consistent from in game to the web. Plus, when a purchase is complete, players return directly to your app via deep links–never losing their place in the flow.
Why Steering With the Steer Safe™ Approach Matters
Steer Safe™ removes friction from the purchase process while giving you complete control of the player relationship. You deliver the experience, and FastSpring handles secure global payments, tax, and compliance.
No matter what backend you use, FastSpring makes direct-to-consumer checkout simple, secure, and player friendly.
How the Steer Safe™ Approach Works
For a step-by-step technical guide on how to enable an integration with FastSpring Steer Safe™ using Unity and Unity Games Services as the examples check out our product documentation here. Or, schedule some time with our dedicated Solution Engineers who can help you understand how FastSpring can integrate with your specific use cases.
Steer Safe™ is a backend agnostic approach and can be used to integrate with your backend of choice. In this post, we’ve done the build using Unity Games Services, but you can use others like Firebase, Playfab, or an in-house custom backend system.
Once integrated, you’ll use a signed checkout URL from your backend that includes the product and user ID via secure payload when a player taps the button or link in game. Your game then opens the URL where FastSpring takes in your player information and securely initializes your game’s checkout or web store.
When the purchase is complete, FastSpring sends webhooks to your backend letting you know the order has completed so you can grant entitlements, and the player is seamlessly returned to your app via deep link.
Why Use the Steer Safe™ Approach by FastSpring?
The Steer Safe™ approach by FastSpring gives you a simple, secure way to steer players from in game to a web checkout and back again. It keeps sensitive data protected, defaults your players to their most trusted payment methods, and then returns them back to your app seamlessly in seconds.
The result is a faster path to steering users from in-app, less player drop off during checkout, and more revenue for your business. Want to learn more? Visit fastspring.gg/steersafe or schedule some time with our Solution Engineers.
