Case Study: SMITE achieves localized payments, streamlined processing, and ML-driven anti-fraud with Xsolla

Better Payment Options for Smite Players, via Xsolla

SMITE, the free-to-play title from Hi‑Rez Studios, needed more secure credit-card processing, localized alternative payment options, consolidated store payments, and stronger anti-fraud as transaction volume grew. To address these challenges they turned to Xsolla, using Xsolla Store, Pay Station, and Xsolla’s Anti‑fraud services.

Xsolla completed integration in six weeks, replacing SMITE’s purchase path with a customized Xsolla Store interface and Pay Station checkout that enabled 700+ localized payment methods, consolidated processing into a single system, and routed sales into the studio’s preferred PayPal account. The solution also added localized pricing and prioritized payment methods, custom product and currency recommendations, and a machine‑learning anti‑fraud layer with 24/7 dispute review — improvements that led Hi‑Rez to roll Xsolla Store out to its other titles.
