Prerequisites

Before integrating VXShop into your game, ensure you meet the following requirements. These prerequisites are essential for a smooth monetization experience.

1. Creator Partner Program (CPP) Membership

Limited Access

VXShop is currently available exclusively to creators in the Creator Partner Program (CPP). This restriction is in place to ensure quality control and provide the best experience for users.

How to Join CPP

The good news: Anyone can apply! If you’ve created a game, you’re eligible to submit an application for the Creator Partner Program.

Application Process:

Create and launch your game on Verse8
Submit your CPP application
Wait for review and approval

Why CPP?

By limiting VXShop to CPP members, we ensure that creators provide high-quality monetization experiences. This protects users and maintains the integrity of the Verse8 ecosystem.

2. Launched Game Required

VXShop can only be integrated into games that are already launched on the Verse8 platform. This requirement ensures:

Your game has been reviewed and approved
The core gameplay is functional and tested
Users can access and play your game

For Games in Development

If you’re still developing your game, you can:

Launch your game as private
Complete VXShop integration
Test thoroughly with private access
Make your game public when ready

Private Launch Benefits

Private launches allow you to:

Test monetization features safely
Iterate on your shop implementation
Gather feedback from select testers
Ensure everything works before going public

3. Game Server Implementation

Mandatory Requirement

Your game must use the Agent8 Game Server to integrate VXShop. This is a non-negotiable requirement for security and functionality.

Why Game Server is Required

When users purchase items with VX:

Purchase events are sent to your game server (not the client)
Server validates and processes the purchase
Server updates user state to reflect the purchase
Client receives confirmation from the server

This server-side approach prevents fraud and ensures purchase integrity.

What You Need

Your game server must:

✅ Be implemented using Agent8 Game Server
✅ Manage user state server-side
✅ Handle purchase events from VXShop
✅ Validate and apply purchases correctly

If you haven’t implemented a game server yet, start here:
