AutoSteamGifts is a self-hosted platform that automates the entire Steam Gift sales flow: from a Digiseller/Plati payment webhook to selecting a sender account in the correct region, adding the buyer as a friend, purchasing the game, and delivering the gift.
📌 About the project
The goal was to turn a manual Steam Gift fulfillment routine into a controlled and observable workflow. A seller connects a pool of sender accounts, creates products, and configures the shop. The system then processes new payments, moves every order through an explicit state machine, and shows the buyer live delivery progress.
The project was originally built for sale — a turnkey self-hosted solution for launching your own Steam Gift shop. It will be available for purchase soon.
The product combines three connected parts:
- a public storefront with a game catalog and product pages;
- a protected administration panel for shop and operations management;
- a delivery backend with queues, Steam and Digiseller integrations, logs, and notifications.
✨ What was implemented
Automated delivery
- Digiseller/Plati webhook handling with invoice deduplication.
- Buyer profile resolution from a profile link, vanity URL, or SteamID.
- Sender selection by region, status, balance, cooldown, and availability.
- A complete “friend request → acceptance wait → purchase → gift delivery” workflow.
- Exponential-backoff retries and a dedicated manual reconciliation flow for ambiguous payments.
- A public order page with profile confirmation and live delivery progress.
Public storefront
- A home page with a hero section, discounts, best sellers, new arrivals, and curated collections.
- Search, sorting, and filters for price, region, genres, features, publishers, and developers.
- Rich game pages with artwork, galleries, trailers, descriptions, localization, system requirements, reviews, and related products.
- Automatic Steam Store prices, discounts, artwork, and metadata.
- Curated collections, registration-free favorites, editable legal pages, and Russian/English content support.
Administration panel
- JWT authentication and a configurable secret path instead of a predictable
/adminURL. - A dashboard for orders, conversion, sender health, catalog status, and Digiseller sales.
- Management screens for Steam accounts, products, collections, pages, orders, logs, and settings.
- Detailed order history, step-by-step logs, and guarded manual operator actions.
- A unified Chakra UI design system, responsive navigation, and light/dark themes.
Reliability and operations
- Independent Steam and Digiseller
mock/realproviders for safe testing. - BullMQ + Redis delivery workers, with an inline mode that runs without Redis.
- AES-256-GCM encryption for sender-account secrets.
- A transactional outbox for Telegram notifications, retries, and duplicate suppression.
- Rate limiting, CORS, Helmet, structured logging, graceful shutdown, and Docker Compose.
- A browser-based installer that validates the environment, writes configuration, runs migrations, and creates the first administrator.
⚙️ Architecture
A payment webhook creates an order and schedules a delivery job. The worker selects an eligible sender for the buyer’s region and performs the Steam steps through a provider abstraction. Every state transition is persisted, exposed in the admin panel, and can generate a reliably delivered notification.
This separation keeps external services isolated, makes every scenario reproducible in mock mode, and allows SQLite/PostgreSQL or BullMQ/inline to be swapped without changing the core business workflow.
🖼️ Project interface
The screenshots were captured on an isolated demo environment containing 38 games, 5 collections, 17 test orders, and 3 mock sender accounts. All real Steam and Digiseller operations were disabled while the assets were prepared.
Every comparison uses the same application state and viewport. Light and dark variants can be switched directly inside each block, while the key screens also support a draggable comparison slider.
