Discord has boiled it all down to one awesome new feature! Thanks to deep interoperability, users can now purchase digital game items directly in the space, seamlessly integrating these new assets into their gaming experience. On Tuesday, the announcement brought some electrifying news. For gamers, it provides an easy-to-use interface to obtain in-game goods with just a few clicks — all without having to exit Discord.
For now, the new shop can only be reached through the desktop app, and it only accepts U.S. dollars. This feature alone makes the platform so powerful. It always uniquely serves players located in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Oceania. For Discord, the goal has always been to help users improve their gaming experience. By implementing this shopping experience, they make it easier for consumers to purchase digital game items.
With the holidays right around the corner, this new feature is a much welcomed, timely addition. Gift-givers can now purchase digital items for their gamer friends or family members without navigating away from their conversations or communities on Discord. The platform is set up so that users can purchase in-game assets directly. This makes it easier to give gifts and furthers Discord’s mission of bringing people together and creating an easy-to-use platform.
