Enabling Valve
Valve has selected WorldPay’s payment services for processing video game transactions globally.
Valve required a payment provider that could optimise global reach and maximise transaction acceptance amongst video gamers, particularly during Steam’s eagerly anticipated holiday sales. Whether console or cloud-based, multi-device, free-to-play or downloadable content, WorldPay platform will enable Valve to monetise, expand and grow revenues.

WorldPay has the expertise to provide worldwide transaction processing to our diverse growing international community of gamers while optimising cost and managing transaction risk.”
Shane Happach, Chief Commercial Officer, WorldPay e-commerce comments: “Consumer appetite for online video games is growing fast. It is essential for merchants to ensure that all transaction opportunities are captured, regardless of whether the video gamer wants to play in a free-to-play, subscription or purchase environment.
