How allkeyshop works

Read this post in:

The ALLKEYSHOP comparison engine gives you the best price for the best video games!

WHERE DO CD KEY SELLERS GET THEIR GAME KEYS FROM?

CD key sellers, vendors, and sites get their game keys for platforms such as Steam, Origin, and Epic Games, from wholesalers or online stores.

ONLY developers and publishers can create valid CD keys for their games.

WHY ARE GAMES CHEAPER ON ALLKEYSHOP THAN ON STEAM?

It’s a fact: digital codes for Steam and other major platforms are consistently more affordable when found through Allkeyshop.

Unlike official platforms like Steam, the independent merchants indexed on Allkeyshop are not bound by strict distribution agreements or artificial price floors imposed by publishers. This freedom allows them to source digital keys globally across different regions and adjust their retail prices dynamically based on local supply and demand.

Furthermore, because dozens of these alternative storefronts compete directly on a single platform, they continuously optimize their margins, driving prices down to offer gamers the absolute lowest rate on the market.

Game developers always receive their initial wholesale revenue regardless of whether you activate the final key on Steam, buy it in a retail shop, or purchase it via an online vendor.

DOES THE DISPLAYED PRICE INCLUDE PAYMENT FEES?

Yes, absolute transparency is our standard. While standard comparison sites show artificially low bait prices by hiding payment processing fees until the very last step, AllKeyShop natively integrates payment fees (PayPal, Credit Card, etc.) directly into our listings. This ensures you see the true, all-inclusive transaction cost upfront. You can easily customize or fine-tune these displays to match your exact payment habits by checking out our Complete Fee and Price Transparency Guide.

IS IT SAFE TO BUY A CD KEY?

Absolutely! Our incredible verification team regularly tests every store on Allkeyshop and its comparison sites.

You can even check the review score and read reviews left by other users on the store’s page or check every store’s rating here.

If an online store receives too many negative reviews, our team immediately removes that store from all our sites.

We then thoroughly investigate before deciding whether to continue promoting the store or remove it entirely from Allkeyshop.

We take immense pride in the safety, reliability, and service quality of all the stores we promote on our sites.

We may not feature stores across our sites because they lack the necessary safety, customer service, and short delivery time Allkeyshop users deserve.

Stores must successfully demonstrate a very high standard of quality and service that we demand for our users.

Of course, it’s important to note that sites may offer “strange deals” or “fantastic prizes” that are not always real – beware of user reviews highlighting a site as deceiving.

This is just one of the many reasons we highly recommend using our price comparison tool.

We work extremely hard to ensure you do not encounter any issues when purchasing your games.

In the rare case a problem occurs, we make sure it’s resolved quickly, and our support team is with you every step as you look for a valid code or a refund.

WHY TRUST US?

Every store featured on our sites is carefully checked by our incredible team to ensure the high level of service our users expect.

But, don’t take our word for it! You can check user reviews and feedback for every seller on the Store Review page.

CD KEY STORE REVIEWS, COUPONS & INFORMATION:

We know it’s essential to review all the stores we feature to maintain quality and excellent customer service from every online seller.

Because of this, we encourage users to write reviews of their experiences after buying games from a store featured on our sites.

Every store is regularly tested by our team anonymously, and with the help of your reviews, we can learn a lot more about a store and its performance.

We created our store review pages so our incredible community can share positive and negative experiences and help maintain the highest quality of service.

We also regularly test stores not featured in our price comparison engine and collect information and reviews so users know whether to trust them or not when making a purchase.

WE PLACE STORES INTO THE TWO FOLLOWING CATEGORIES WHEN REVIEWING THEM

• List of Recommended Game and CD Key Stores

Every game seller and CD key store on our recommended list meets the level of service and performance criteria we demand.

We give an Allkeyshop Certified sticker to the sellers with an excellent reputation with the Allkeyshop community and us.

• List of Game and CD Key Stores That Are Pending For Verification

These stores are yet to meet the criteria and are therefore not on our trusted page.

We continue testing stores and checking their progress to see if they are ready to move to our page for trusted stores.

The tests we conduct include delivery time, key availability, customer support quality and response time, company information and employee numbers, and if the store has already completed several orders.

We do this to protect you, so we ask that you share your experience by reviewing and rating a store after making a purchase.

This way, we all help each other find the best games at the lowest prices.

We are confident that all of the featured stores on Allkeyshop are trustworthy, have excellent customer service, and can fulfill and deliver an order in a fast and convenient process.
