Panel/Workshop: Workshopping A Web Shop With Xsolla, A Thinking Ape & Lab Cave.
summary
Panelists from Xsolla, A Thinking Ape and LabCave show how webshops run on Xsolla go live faster because they need no app store approval, support dozens of local payment options to reach non-card markets, and keep larger share of revenue for higher margins. Examples: A Thinking Ape uses webshop for long‑term VIPs and big price points (three years live), LabCave launched in October to convert non‑spenders, teams run monetization/VIP squads, test exclusive event items (a Thanksgiving turkey) and use the shop for rapid offer iteration while AB testing is limited by low purchase volumes.
