- Privacy-compliant segmentation drives purchase conversion by presenting the right offers to the right customers.
- Out-of-the-box insight system with expert-backed, actionable suggestions, helping teams launch best-practice campaigns with speed-to-impact.
- Extend Web Shop’s reach into trusted channels: Grow incremental revenue and new payer growth by reusing a single Web Shop catalog across creator, community, and messaging platforms, including Discord.
- Creators become trusted growth channels. With auto-generated Creator Storefronts, they can promote your Web Shop offers through their own branded page, driving trackable sales, tips, and fan engagement, while studios capture incremental revenue through seamless revenue share.
- Communities become commerce. Discord channels double as storefronts, letting players purchase currency, bundles, and gifts directly where they already gather.
