Xsolla, a global video game commerce company, has integrated JKOPay, Taiwan’s most widely used mobile payment brand, into its Xsolla Pay Station, enhancing payment solutions for game developers and publishers in the region. This integration, supported by Antom, a merchant payment and digitization service provider under Ant International, enables secure, mobile-first checkout options for Taiwan’s gaming audience.
Taiwan is recognized as a highly digitally advanced market, with over 95% internet penetration and high smartphone adoption. Mobile payments have become an integral part of daily life for consumers across shopping, travel, and leisure activities. JKOPay, serving 6.5 million users and accepted by over 300,000 merchants nationwide, holds a leading position in this cashless market.
The integration of JKOPay offers several benefits. It provides a trusted local payment method, allowing players to conduct secure transactions via QR code directly from their mobile devices, accepted across retail, e-commerce, transit, and gaming. JKOPay also offers an all-in-one digital ecosystem, combining e-commerce, payments, transit services, and loyalty programs into a single mobile platform. For developers, offering JKOPay through Xsolla Pay Station aims to increase conversions and player reach, allowing access to millions of active, mobile-first consumers, and potentially resulting in higher checkout completion rates and user engagement.
Chris Hewish, President of Xsolla, stated, “In Taiwan, mobile payments aren’t just a convenience – they’re a lifestyle. By adding JKOPay, we’re empowering developers to connect with players through one of the market’s most trusted and widely used payment solutions, ensuring seamless access and engagement across the region.”
Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Xsolla operates as a merchant of record and offers tools and services designed to help game developers fund, distribute, market, and monetize their games. The company has supported over 1,500 game developers globally in reaching more players and expanding their businesses.
