Epic Games Store lifted the restriction on the use of third-party payment systems
Epic Games has changed the payment rules in its store. Now it will be easier for developers to charge for in-game purchases.
Previously, Epic Games Store players could only use payment systems provided by Epics for IAP. Now developers can choose and integrate any convenient service.
We support the right of developers to choose from the best stores, payment systems, online services and engines, as well as optionally combine and combine components (of different systems).

It is important that Epic Games will not take a share from purchases through third-party systems. That is, game authors will be able to earn even more on payment services with a lower percentage of commission. It is appropriate to recall that Epic Games Store also takes a smaller share of revenue from igrodelov than the closest competitor — Steam (12% vs. 30%).
Of course, while the Epic store does not support all third-party services. The missing systems can be integrated, but all the work will fall on the developer himself. To do this, according to VentureBeat, you can attract Xsolla, an American company with Russian roots that specializes in game monetization.
