Frequently Asked Questions
A "White Label Partner" or WLP for short, is a partner who adds our Computer Digital Distribution Game Store to their website. The store is completely branded in the White Label Partner's name including the optional Download Manager. The game store resides on GameStreamer's network through our strategic partnership with Savvis. The only thing the White Label Partner has to do is get traffic to their website and start making money, everything else including customer service, network, installation, billing and updated content is provided by GameStreamer.
2. What is the purpose of the White Label Partner Extranet?The White Label Partner Extranet allows you to become a partner, select a template and after approval to add a game store to your website! Also it allows you to manage your game stores content including the ability to select which categories and ratings you want to sell, which genres you want to showcase, view reports on your sales and to access other features such as SAP accounting.
