Talk recording: How to integrate payments into your game and not fail

What the talk is about

Viktor Mykolaiovych explains how to add payments to a game, using a fictional developer, Vasya, who wants to earn from in-game purchases. He describes the basic flow: the player places an order, gets a unique identifier, is redirected to a payment system, and the acquiring bank checks the card with the issuing bank. He then covers integration options: web forms, iframes, payment terminals, mobile payments and aggregators. He also touches on the legal side: bank contracts, requisites, commissions, and the difficulty of reaching international payment systems from Ukraine. He compares direct connections with working through an aggregator and mentions choosing a jurisdiction for the company. Useful for indie developers and small studios setting up monetization for the first time.
