Portal:Store
From Liquipedia Dota 2 Wiki
The Dota 2 Store is a micropayment service introduced in the May 31, 2012 Patch. The store allows players to purchase in-game items such as cosmetic equipment for heroes, treasures with equipment sets inside, and tickets to view tournaments using DotaTV. Creators of community-contributed items receive a percentage of sales for anything they've created that's been added into the game. Most items can also be traded on Steam's Community Marketplace.
