i am wanting to know if i can sell my game on square

[CW8]

I have known square for ages sense my father sells on square and I will have more questions unrelated to this one.

1. I am making a game and want to know if square allows me selling my game and dlc's on square.

2. will I be allowed to host a game Server on a square website.

3. If any of the 2 are allowed then what are the pricing options available

Hi @CW8,

Thanks for getting in touch!

You can sell digital goods via Square Online, however you're not able to host digital content for download via Square Online (you'd need to email content separately), or use Square Online to host game servers. You'd need to look into using a specialist platform to host a game server, Square Online is designed as a basic template-based Online Store platform, and doesn't have the facility to act as a game server.

Essentially, Square Online is a good platform for running an online shop, but isn't designed to host or sell downloadable games and content. Platforms like Steam or GOG are better for selling games and DLC, while my understanding is that server hosting would be done via seperate backend systems - though it looks like Steam does have some options here. This guide is a good starting point to get more of an idea of what's required. It might also be worth having a look online for game development communities who may be able to offer better advice than I'm able to!

Sorry we can't be of more help here, but best of luck with the game!
