GamesDrop is an online store selling game top-ups, gift cards and Steam top-ups to an international audience, with a wholesale offering for business customers. To introduce crypto payments for digital goods alongside its existing fiat options, the company connected PassimPay through an API integration.

Key results

1+ year in production since August 2025
~20% — Share of all payments made in cryptocurrency.
3 networks — USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), TRON (TRC20) and Polygon

Before PassimPay

GamesDrop accepted only fiat payments before integration with PassimPay. The company wanted to give customers another way to pay while keeping its existing payment options available. Adding cryptocurrency was an extension of that choice, with fiat remaining part of the checkout.

Its store serves players buying top-ups for titles such as PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends and Free Fire, alongside gift cards and Steam products. GamesDrop also supplies digital gaming products to resellers and services through wholesale orders and its Partner API. With a multilingual website and an international audience, the company decided to add crypto as another payment option.

Why PassimPay

GamesDrop found PassimPay through Google while looking for a way to accept cryptocurrency payments. The team compared providers and selected PassimPay based on the terms offered and the quality of service when answering questions and helping the company get started.

GamesDrop also identified working with a “licensed company” as an important selection criterion. That requirement formed part of its assessment alongside commercial terms and the support provided during onboarding.

For the team, choosing a crypto payment gateway for gift cards and game top-ups involved evaluating both the payment connection and the people supporting it. The service received during those early exchanges helped GamesDrop decide which provider to work with as it introduced the additional payment method.

Integration

GamesDrop connected through the PassimPay API. Its crypto checkout uses an API connection and a redirect: customers are sent to the PassimPay payment page to complete their payment. This gave the store a way to accept USDT payments for game top-ups and other digital goods alongside fiat. Every incoming payment undergoes AML screening before funds are credited.

The launch took about a month, with compliance checks accounting for most of that time. GamesDrop processed its first transaction on 21 August 2025. The month therefore describes the overall launch period, including those checks.

Support continued after the connection went live. GamesDrop could raise questions about transactions or webhooks in a shared chat with the PassimPay team.

“After connecting PassimPay, we no longer had to deal with every disputed payment on our own. When questions came up about transactions or webhooks, we turned to the shared chat and worked with the team to check what had happened.”

Results

GamesDrop accepts USDT on three networks: BEP20, TRC20 and Polygon. BEP20 is used most often.

Activity was generally stable, with sharp spikes in individual months. Crypto-paying customers came from a diverse range of European and CIS countries, reflecting the varied geography of the store’s audience.

GamesDrop also reported that cryptocurrency represented approximately 20% of all payments made. Together, these results document use of the added payment option alongside fiat, with USDT payments recorded on all three networks.

Takeaway

GamesDrop’s experience shows how a digital goods store can add cryptocurrency to its existing payment options. An API connection linked the store to PassimPay, while customers completed crypto payments on the provider’s payment page.

The case also shows how support worked after launch: transaction and webhook questions went to a shared chat, where both teams reviewed what had happened.
