Tanki Online Enhances Payment Security with Gate2Shop

Tanki Online, the multiplayer action game in which players participate in 3D tank battles, now benefits from the solutions provided by Gate2Shop, the e-commerce services provider, when it comes to securing and handling the online payments made by customers.

Since the game that relies on innovative Alternativa3D Flash 3d graphics engine and AlternativaCore server platform needed some new ways for making sure the assets of their users are properly protected, they came to the conclusion that Gate2Shop can offer exactly what they need.

“It became increasingly clear that we needed a stronger ecommerce solution to serve all our needs for now and also be ready for us as we expand in future. We chose Gate2Shop as a payment partner due to its solid reputation and really wide selection of payment options that can be integrated into our project,” says Roman Epishin, chief marketing officer of AlternativaPlatform, which develops and publishes Tanki Online.

Because they're planning on expanding their activity even further, Tanki Online owners had to turn to a company that not only offers good solutions, but that can also provide them support in a large number of countries.

“This is a good example of a fairly standard integration for Gate2Shop. We have the tools and background to help vendors of all sizes with their ecommerce needs, and with Tanki Online we have a clean and secure integration that gives Tanki Online plenty of options to expand in future,” states Meidad Sharon, VP Sales and Marketing at Gate2Shop.

As we've recently seen, gaming websites and their customers are highly targeted by hackers, especially if credit card numbers are involved. This is why platform owners should always rely on specialized services to avoid unfortunate situations in which thousands of customers get exposed due to a data breach.

Tanki Online currently has close to 6 million players from Russia, CIS, America, China, and Europe, which means that it can always be considered a tempting target by cybercriminals who are launching missions only to obtain a profit.
