How to Set Up a Web Store for Your Server Using Tebex
Learn how to integrate a Tebex web store with your AwakeNode Minecraft server to manage donations and rank sales efficiently.
Overview
Tebex (formerly Buycraft) is the industry-standard platform for managing donations and selling digital goods on your Minecraft server. By linking your server to a Tebex store, you can automate rank assignments, crate keys, and other perks directly to your players' accounts upon purchase.
Setting Up Your Tebex Store
- Create an Account: Visit the Tebex website and sign up for a creator account.
- Configure Your Server: Within the Tebex dashboard, create a new server and select your platform (e.g., Paper, Spigot, or Forge).
- Get Your Secret Key: Tebex will provide a unique secret key. This is required to link your server to their platform.
Connecting to Your AwakeNode Server
On AwakeNode
AwakeNode servers are pre-configured to handle plugin installations seamlessly.
- Navigate to your server's Plugin Installer in the panel.
- Search for the "Tebex" plugin and click Install.
- Once installed, restart your server.
- Use the File Manager to navigate to
plugins/Tebex/config.ymland paste your secret key into thesecretfield. - Restart the server again to finalise the connection.
On Other Hosts / Manually
- Download the Tebex plugin directly from the SpigotMC or Tebex website.
- Access your server via SFTP and upload the
.jarfile to your/pluginsdirectory. - Restart your server to generate the configuration files.
- Locate the
config.ymlfile within theplugins/Tebexfolder. - Edit the file to include your secret key, save the changes, and restart the server to establish the link.
Managing Your Store
Once the connection is established, you can manage your packages, categories, and payment gateways directly through the Tebex web dashboard. Any changes made to your store configuration will sync with your server automatically. If your store fails to sync, ensure your server is online and that the secret key in your configuration file matches the one provided in your Tebex dashboard. If issues persist, open a ticket with AwakeNode Support for further assistance.
